Creatine question

gwcaton · 12-24-2003, 07:24 AM

Ok , here's my first (newbie) question.

I was reading the beginners start here thread and i says 'You want to mix it with a non-acidic juice with carbs and dextrose".

All the fruit juices i looked at yesterday listed fructose but none listed dextrose. Which juice has what I need ? Whats the dif between fructose and dextrose ?

I know , I probably could of did a search but if I did that then someone here would miss a chance to share their knowledge.

Thanks,

Gary

All juices contain fructose, but there is always a ceratin amount of other sugars in them as well. If you are new to creatine and don't want to buy a pre-made delivery system, just use grape juice and you will be fine.

I also use grape juice. If you want a good transport try some ALA(alpha lipoic acid).

True, but for someone new to creatine, a "transport" isn't really necessary.

Good point though!
