I've always heard that taking a protein shake with your cell-tech will mess with the absorbtion of the creatine. I always take my cell-tech right after my workout but how long do I need to wait before I take my protein? I also have this same problem in the morning during a loading Phase. IP: Logged |

More specifics. What type of Creatine are you taking? Is it pure creatine? Are you taking it with water? Grape juice? Any other supps? Generally, wait an hour to two hours. Just like anything else it has to take time to actually absorb so you will see results. More questions? Platinum IP: Logged |

What kind of creatine???? I just said it was cell-tech! By the way an hour or two would put me out of the sacred "window of opportunity" after a workout. More questions? IP: Logged |

Hey bro ...... I am taking Cell-Tech and Whey Protein TOGETHER immediately after my workout. It works really good. After you trained , you need to give to your body creatine and proteins for an immediate absorption. Who told you that there are problems in doing this ??? IP: Logged |

Bro, bring the cell-tech with you to workout pre-mixed in a container. Drink it immediatley after you work out and during the drive home. A half hour after that is good for protein. The cell-tech should be going thru your system and then you can have protein. When I took it, I had to wait atleast that long until I had enough room in my stomach. I felt really bloated on it, so I stopped taking it. Also your window is up to an hour after you workout. IP: Logged |

The theory behind this all is that you need an insulin spike in order to drive more creatine inside cells (Hence the 70+ grams of dextrose). If you consume it along with ftas and protein, the glysemic index will go down, thereby hindering insuling secretion. That is (allegedly) why you should not consume protein or fat along with the high-carb drink. IP: Logged |
