(by the way I drink hot tea in between my work out!! ;o) Yes you can mix creatine and glutamine. -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.

Good creatine powder dissolves easily whether you use warm or cold juice/water. Stick with Creapure stamped creatine and you'll be fine... -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!

Think about this, if it doesn't fully dissolve in liquid, what might it be doing in your system? Micronized creatine will mix cleanly and thouroughly, and you can use ice cold water or grape juice or whatever. -------------- The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary!

The guy at GNC probably never even tried the stuff. -------------- The trouble with jogging is that, by the time you realize you are not in shape for it, it is too far to walk back! Franklin P.

Instead of focusing on micronized creatine, I would focus on Creapure brand creatine, which is the purest and cleanest. (Steenge, GE, et al. Protein- and carbohydrate-induced augmentation of whole-body creatine retention in humans. J Appl Physiol 2000;89:1165-1171.)
