Mix it with non-acidic juice or water. Grape juice works well. The other method is a more gradual approach to supplementing with creatine monohydrate. Over the course of an extended period, one basically skips the loading phase and just supplements with five to fifteen grams per day, everyday. The best part about creatine-no adverse effects have been reported in any studies.
Creatine is totally safe and effective.
Creatine has never been shown harmfully toxic. I heard that creatine and caffeine can be consumed at the same time. But an article I read claims caffeine inhibits the absorption of creatine into muscle tissue. A more recent study by Vanakoski, et al. Because researchers concluded that creatine was efficiently absorbed even when combined with caffeine, it does not appear from the results of this study that caffeine exerts a negative effect on the uptake of creatine into muscle tissue.
