For optimal results, i know that with some sort of sugar (dextrose) or some high-glycemic drink (grape juice), creatine is faster absorbed into the bloodstream.

My question is for sports drink, especially the NWO Power Brawl grape flavored sports drink. I am uncertain if sports drink would either:

(a) Ruin the effect of the drink--i am unsure if the drink is acidic.

(b) Just be an expensive form of liquid that could be easily substituted for grape juice or some water with sugar.

This is the specifications of the Sports drink in question:

==============================
NWO POWER BRAWL GRAPE FLAVORED
==============================

200 calories

55 carbs
- comprised of Maltodextrim

22 grams of sugar
- Sucrose and gluclose ( i think )

Question: Would this be an efficient drink to take creatine with? It does have a relatively high sugar content and maltodextrim.
ALthough i see most companies using dextrose in their formulas, would u say that malto could be a good, if not better substitute?
