Is mixing creatine with protein powder a norm? It tastes horrible. I bought my first tub of creatine and was wondering if any experienced users have any inputs for creatine overall. So far I've been told to drink more water while using it and it will help create more muscle. Is that true?

Itβs not uncommon, but IMO not my preferred way of going about it (although I used to for many years back in high school). I honestly recommend going with creatine in capsule format. My preferred type is Kre-Alkalyn. Both βEFXβ and βNOW Sportsβ are two highly reputable brands you can go with. Hope this helps βπΌ

Definitely need to drink more water! I used to just scoop the creatine in my mouth and wash it down like a madman

I'd just mix it with preworkout or water after. Sounds kind of nasty lol

I would mix creatine with a fruit flavor or just scoop it right into your mouth and chase with water. Eww with protein powder.

Definitely true, creatine helps retain water which increases strength/endurance in the gym. Out of all the supplements Iβve tried creatine has the largest impact for sure if youβre trying to gain mass. Most suggest you load extra the first week or two, Iβm sure the container recommends you do a bit extra your first week. I would just try to stay as hydrated as possible. Tricky thing with creatine is it definitely would bloat me a bit so I typically try to do it in the winter when Iβm trying to bulk. Iβve never tried it when trying to cut but could be a good way to maintain a bit more mass as you cut. Usually takes about a week to really kick in and start making a noticeable impact

An over simplification, but you're basically retaining water in your muscles if you're using creatine monohydrate

I just mix unflavored creatine with water, easy peasy. More water overall is good, creatine causes muscles to hold on to more water, which at first seems like water weight gain.
