Hi,

Does CM always have to be taken with 500ml of water or can I mix it in with my whey protein that only has 250ml?

Thanks

You can do that but for best results take it with 500ml.

I'm always drinking plenty of water so I'm sure it will get mixed up in my tum.
Thanks for your reply x

Use 500mL for improved absorption. CM is highly hydrophilic - water loving - and will draw water from wherever it can, so best to supply it with what makes it happy.

you can take it with 250ml but id recommend only have 2.5g to give you a chance of dissolving it in the water before taking it. This will decrese the chance of you feeling bloated or have a sore stomach from taking it and increase the chance of it being effective.

I think I've heard a few people mention on here that 100ml for every 1g of CM should do the trick.

Fair enough, I think you all agree that I should take it with 500ml of water. Which I will do.
Thanks for your imput.

tastes ok when mixed properly. only started today,took 5grms in morning with breakfast, gonna take 5 grams now before my workout, and take 2 more 5 gram doses later on. some people say you need to load, some say you don't. i've never taken creatine so i'll load up for a week.
