ECA blocks creatine absorption?

[poopboypat]

I am taking ripped fule and someone told me that the ECA in ripped fule blocks Creatine abosorption. Is this true???

(note) I am also taking Creatine.

caffiene and creatine are structurally similar. caffiene "can" block the receptors that uptake creatine which is why they should be consumed several hours apart if possible

ok so what you are saying is:

Take Ripped fule,
45 min later Lift,
When done lifting take protien drink,
2-3 hours later take Creatine.



But I was under the impresion that you should take creatine right after working out. Along with the protine.

Would be good to, yes. Unless you really need the added energy from the ECA stack, you don't have to take it so close to training.

yes good to do..

when you think about you take the ECA 30-45 minutes prior to training, the training session lasts 1-1.5 hours so you have your 2+ hours inbetween taking the ECA and creatine which is sufficient time...
