Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Those juices help transport the creatine into the muscle better than other fluids. Acidic juices break down the creatine prematurely.

At least in theory. "Eat Less, Exericise More" Where's MY book deal?

You know, I think it's funny that we get so many more questions about how and when to take supplements than we do about how to work out. < Message edited by Powerhaus -- 5/22/2004 2:54:50 PM > "Eat Less, Exericise More" Where's MY book deal?
