Does anybody know if it is OK to mix creatine with coffee? I have found several body building articles with both pro and against mixing creatine with coffee (in particular mixing with caffeine). Those articles deal with how the creatine is absorbed into the muscle which I would imagine is different with how creatine is used by the brain. If regular coffee is bad how about de-caf coffee?
Thanks

Creatine causes water to be drawn from the bloodstream into the tissues. Caffeine causes water to be drawn from the bloodstream into the bladder. The two in combination could result in dehydration. Could be a problem if done just before a major exertion as is typically done by athletes and body builders. For the rest of us it should make no difference. If thirsty drink water. If not don't...
