Excellent Homemade Creatine Transport

[gmanlax7]

combine 10 g of creatine with Gatorade powdered drink mix. 2 scoops will give you 36 g of carbs with 34 g of sugar. Tastes great too, cheap as hell.

I heard you need at least 70g carbs from a high gi carb to get the most out of your creatine.

i figure this should do it because the Phosphagens i have seen have 42 g

Its supposedly clinically proven. I would go better safe than sorry, more dextrose cant hurt.

Did you know that the addition of dextrose makes creatine utilization at least 160% better?
Did you know that Ultrapure™ creatine is the new millennium purity standard since it's absolutely the purest and best creatine right now?
Did you know that at least 75 grams of dextrose is needed for significantly more insulin release?http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/sci/creax.html

I use UltraPure, the Scitec version. If i was to use the gatorade mix for that much dextrose, it would be about 70 g of sugar , that seems like such overkill. what do you take yours with?

Thats a LOT of sugar. I notice that is from someone selling creatine. Be careful about ads and studies. Supplement companies have been known to lie and streeeeeeeeeetch the truth (naaaaaaaaa!!!!!)

How about adding 200-500 mg of ala for SUPER-DUPER creatine homeade transporter !

 

[drveejay11]

By the way...for all of you low carbers.....ALA and just a limited addtion of glucose would be the more sensible way to go. Add some vanadium/vandyl sulfate to the ALA and you could avoid the sugar almost entirely. Granted....you WILL NOT get the same effects from a dextrose addtion. Again...these suggestions are made NOT to compete with Dextrose's effects on Creatine; but to substitute Dextrose's effects without increasing carb intake. Again, for all you people out there who can't read: I'm not saying you will get the exact same effectiveness!

 

[gmanlax7]

yes i definatly want to add some ALA, but at the moment im dirt poor, hence how i stumbled upon the gatorade.

If you really wanna go cheap replace the gatorade with straight dextrose. I bought mine at a bulk food store for 77 cents a pound (and that's Canadian funds!). I think the next cheapest place to get it would be a beer/wine making store (one of those brew your own type stores).
