creatine and hydroxycut at the same time

o101 Posts: 5 Joined: 2002/10/02	2003/01/19, 12:27 PM i am a 19 yr old male and i took creatine before which gave me great results.. the only problem was that it wasn't lean muscle, i gained a bit of fat too.. do you think hydroxycut is a good mix with creatine to gain lean muscle?

Any scientists out there for a better explanation? -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

Caffeine is a diuretic (depletes your body of water) and creatine, an amino, hyperhydrates your muscles. You do the math. They have counteracting effects. Creatine is a bulking supplement, hydroxycut is for cutting. Pick one and go in that direction.

Their chemical structures are very similar, and due to this, caffine can quite possibly attach itself to the receptor that creatine uses, and thus block the creatine. Take them a few hours apart if you are going to do both.:) -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
