> taking in the dextrose is to help the creatine absorb faster into your blood. thtas about it. thats why i suggested the cell-tech. its basically their version of kool-aid mixed with creatine. if you have powder creatine, mix it with grape juice. it is the best at helping creatine. and also, mix in some glutamine powder with it.

Now I am taking the ethyl ester creatine…which “should” be absorbed into my system a lot better than reg mono creatine. I read that too about dextrose with mono…but what I read is your body needs carbs along with protein to help rebuild your muscles.
