Creatine with Kool Aid?

Trumpet2000 Posts: 10 Joined: 2002/06/10	2002/07/01, 01:41 PM Is it OK to take creatine with Kool Aid(cheap substitute for welche's juice)? I have heard that some people mix their creatine with Kool Aid. But, the first ingredient in all Kool Aid packages is citric acid. This is the same acid that is in orange juice(which is not to be taken with creatine). I have done searches on ft but cannot find any relevant info. Any help is appreciated.

As a matter of fact, most protein drinks already have a fair amount of glutamine in them. Some, even have creatine as well. The insulin spike from the protein drink should help transport creatine into your system better than plain water. -------------- **_Robert_** Pain is temporary; glory is forever!

There is citric acid in crystal lite but it doesn't have much sugar. Would it be alright to make a drink with crea, glut, and crys lite?
