the other day i read this article that said if you take a insulin mimicker and creatine it's supposed to work a shit load better. is this true? should i take alpha lipoic acid, chromium, or a diabetic fuel which has all that stuff? should i cycle in glutamine and other aminos with creatine and insulin mimickers? any feedback will be much apprecitated. will this work with a liquid creatine such as ATP? if so which is better powder or liquid?

When I took creatine, I also took 300 mg of alpha lipoic acid. I could tell a difference in the muscle pump. To be specific, here's exactly how I did it: 5 grams of creatine 10 mins before the end of my workout mixed with a bottle of grape juice (should be nearly 100 grams of carbs). Post workout (20 mins later) I took 50 grams of protein plus 10 grams of glutamine. I know you'll hear a lot about competition between glutamine, creatine and protein, but all I can say is that this combination was really effective for me. I liked micronized creatine from Met-Rx the best. I could get a container of 100 5 gram servings for under 30 bucks. I never tried the Creatine serum, but have had too many negative stories run by me to take a chance. At any rate, you'll have to experiment to see what works best for you. | ||

You will definitely notice a difference with insulin mimicers. ALA is best in my opinion. | ||
