Just wanted to add that you shouldn’t use Creatine with OJ. Drinking it with acidic liquids will create creatinine, a chemical that stresses your kidneys.
I use one of those cheap creatine/sugar drinks post-workout. I had minor stomach cramping about an hour later for the first week or two…nothing too serious…and now it doesn’t bother me at all…

What about cranberry juice with creatine? Cranberry juice is suppose to be good for the KIDS right?
What about NO-Xplode??..
I just started training and some people said that it was good to have a NO supplement and a lot more say creatine. I figure with this stuff I’m covering both bases. However, I think this stuff tastes like crap. It says just mix it with water which is what I’m doing. I’ve read that you should try to spike your insulin with creatine to get better effects. There’s so much advice my head is spinning.
Also, I’m not sure what it is but I’ve been slightly short of breath lately… not that I am running out of breath when working out, but like it is difficult to breathe or to catch a full breath of air. I noticed on the NO-Xplode that it has a warning about asthma. I do have a pretty mild case so I was wondering if it was triggering that? Also I’m taking Lipo-6 which also has a warning of asthma. I think i’m gonna cut the NO-Xplode out for now and see if my breathing improves.
Any and all advice is appreciated, you guys rock!
