From what I know and from what I've read from creatinemonohydrate.net's creatine guide, creatine vs. caffeine produces no ill effects, and the creatine is still used. Only one study's ever shown that caffeine negates creatine, and no other studies back it up.[b said:Quote[/b] (Brixtonian @ Dec. 05 2002,8:22)]Is it right that things like caffeine can prevent absorbtion of creatine?
As I take a caffeine/ephredrine stack prior to my workout, I gave up taking creatine pre-training, because of this belief.
I now only take creatine after my workout.
I'm also cycling it with my HST cycle, i.e; 8 wks on, 2 wks off - again, is this right?
Thanks.

However, caffeine itself is a diuretic, and from what I understand about that, it increases the excretion of water. That alone may give you less volume. However, the strength gains from creatine remain.
Although I'm not sure, caffeine is very addictive and I avoid it unless I seriously need a boost before going out or before working out. I don't want to get hooked on that stuff, or anything for that matter.
