I find the new MuscleTech Creatine Suppositories to be the best way of ingestion.

Actually, I find water or fruit juice is fine.

I usually pop it right into my mouth, wash it down with water then down my PWO Shake (40g pro, 100g carbs 50/50 dextrose/maltodex)

You need to do a search on this question since it's been discussed to death on at least 100 occations BUT I'll give you the short version very quickly.

1. very best: with dextrose You can buy it by the pound at such places as 1fast400.com or bodybuilding.com

2. 2nd best: Concord Grape Juice (Welches for example) (purple grape juice not white)

3. whatever else. At this point none really come close to the top 2.

i normally have mine with tomato juice. its sposed to b mor effective if taken with a few carbs so any sort of fruit juice is good. apparently caffiene can decrease the effect of creatine

You've heard wrong. You will lose water weight retainned while taking it but I have never lost any strength from strictly cutting creatine.

See? Someone did some research. This is true what you say regarding Caffiene.

My response would be: YES it is a cheap supplement(monitarily speaking) that assists in gaining size. You the individual lifter must still train hard to wreap its benefits.
