    yet-another-creatine ? - how much dextrose

    Hi all - I am thinking of trying creatine again. Last time around I just dumped in what seemed like a good amount of dextrose, which I'm sure was often wayy too much.

    So the serving size for normal creatine monohydrite is 1 teaspoon, how much dextrose should I add? Mix it 2:1 perhaps? (dextrose to creatine)

    I did search the forums, but after paging through 15 pages of posts or so the answer didn't seem forthcoming.

    thanks!

    Are you putting into your whey shake? What type of creatine are you going to use?

    For the most part I've not used creatine, but thought I'd try it again. I would always take it in a glass of whey protein and water. Usually I'd take it post workout. I'm using AST Micronized powder, not that I'm endorsing the brand tho it works well for me.

    Best time to optimize dextrose is pre and post workout...to make your carb + protein drink.

    2 scoops (scooper from protein tub) of dextrose = 70 grams of sugar
    1 scoop of protein powder = 35 gram of protein
    1 tbsp of creatine = 5 grams of creatine
