How much water should someone drink when their on creatine?

at least a gallon, also you are going to want to take some kinda glucose with the creatine to help with insulin spike, i usually have a glass of 100% fruit juice, make sure there isnt sugar added

alot of water, bout 4-6 litre a day...but fruit juice is good for spiking insulin levels on creatine, so cook was spot on with that^^^

These guys are right on the spot. 1 gallon of water really isn't that much either. Even without getting water from food its easy to down 1-2 gallons a day. When i'm home I just have a gallon bottle of water right by me at all times thats half frozen and I don't even realise that I go through it all in half the day sometimes.

Drink until it hurts to pee, and what ever you do dont let Vilthichuk tell you to take processed sugar with your creatine...only Naturally derived sugar sources.

can i mix creatine with 100% natural orange juice???

**Sparky_dustin** · 04-17-2007, 07:25 PM

sure, why not.

Ya just need to take in any simple carb to make your creatine work, since ya just need your insulin level to spike. And peeing til ya hurt is just plain dumbass

Viethulk4 · 04-18-2007, 08:31 PM

And ya should drink half ya body weight in ounces without creatine, so if you taking creatine, I suggest you drink your full bodyweight in ounces, or at least 1 gallon like stated above

i am new to this site starting yesterday. i wanted to say somthing about the water uptake. im not trying to make any enemys but sparky was wrong. dont drink mor than 1 1/2 gallons a day, to much will dilute your stomach acid. that can cause some problems with your digestive process, you wont get all of your nutrients you want

Of course I'm wrong on this one, I didn't really mean it. I know you only need to drink around a gallon of water a day, I kid around a lot you'll learn this in time.

thanks. that really helps.

when do you drink the fruit juice to spike the insulin levels?

If i drink a gatorade during my workout, and then immediately after take my cellmass, is that good enough? or do i need to buy some juice boxes to wash down my creatine with?

BOflex4life · 04-21-2007, 01:04 PM

sorry about that sparky.
I didnt know

i'd drink the gatorade after the w\o not during as its a great drink for recovering lost energy. drink that with the creatine...stick to water on w\o's
