Thanks alot

If dieting, extra glutamine could be well worth your while. Protein with creatine will not slow down digestion. You will want some simple carbs/sugars to speed up digestin, shut off cortisol with insulin, and enhance uptatake post training. Make sure you take your creatine right away after mixing, as it is not stable in a fluid and will degrade rapidly into a waste product non useable by the body, creatinine. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything....
