Creatine Chews

Jnova123 Posts: 1 Joined: 2005/05/25	2005/05/25, 10:54 PM I'm thinking about using Universal Creatine Chews. I have a few questions about them. Do they work well? When is the best time to take the chews? During the loading phase when two servings are needed, do I take one serving before the workout and one after? How long before the workout should I take the chews? Thanks a lot, James

I actually have found them at my local grocery store which is wegmans here in rochester ny. -------------- I am that which must be feared, worshipped and adored.

The ones I take you take 7 pills for one 5 gram serving. So what I did to keep from swallowing all of those pills, I bust them open put the powder in water or juice, about 4 0z. drink it, then drink water throughout my workout and after. I don't fill up on water that way. If you fill up on to much water before workout, you feel lazy, like if you're full of food. May even get sick. Atleast thats what happens to me. -------------- If you can't hang with the big dogs, go your little ass home.
