Beta Alanine and Creatine

[sherlock]

Just wondering if I still need the high GI carbs if I am taking Creatine Monohydrate with Beta Alanine, or if they are unnecessary?

Thanks

beta should be taken multipel times threw day.

You can take creatine with water and it will still work.

i took 1 heaping tspn of BA pre workout... way cool how it dissolved in the water... not cool how it made my body burn for about 20 mins

I used to hate the burning feeling of BA. Now I kinda like it. Strange.

[Spyder122]

Isn't it better to take some kinda carb like Dextrose or Waxy Maize with Creatine?

sugar will cause an insulin spike, thereby shuttling the creatine into your cells faster, how much faster? no idea

monohydrate by itself peaks after 1.5 hrs

Thanks very much for all the information everyone. I am noticing over the past 3 days that when I take it, I get the tingling, but I am also getting crazy nausea. Anybody else have this problem?

[juced_porkchop]

no nausea for me.
