Anyone got any real info on creatine + caffeine? I see a lot of conflicting info on this but nothing that says 100% if you can or can't.
This study states that caffeine and creatine don't mix:
Caffeine counteracts the ergogenic action of muscl... [J Appl Physiol. 1996] - PubMed result
But this one says it's OK:
The effects of a pre-workout supplement containing caffeine, creatine, and amino acids during three weeks of high-intensity exercise on aerobic and anaerobic performance
These are just two that I've seen, but what are the real details? Anything on strength training performance and muscle gain while taking creatine with caffeine? I've always dissolved my creatine in coffee just because it's warm and mixes easily and seem to get good effect (even though i'll never know) but did I pretty much piss it all down the drain?
