Wait, so you think a banana has less sugar than a glass of natural OJ?
No, but I eat bananas anyways.
Potassium is needed for muscle use. Lack of potassium causes your muscles to lock up, aka charlie horse.
Look, the basic jist that you're assuming is that sugar facillitates creatine absorption. This is debatable, but what isn't is that a banana doesn't produce the proper insulin response for this process.
You're better off with a sugary + salty bullshit. An electrolyte drink will help transport the creatine more than anything.
do you need a hug?
I've assumed it was widely accepted that loading creatine and L-carnatine with carbs was the way to get the best absorption. Will you post evidence disputing it?
believe it or not, i've read by EAS that it's good to load with Alka Setzler. The sodium bicarbonate helps it bond.
I have dislocated my shoulder 3 times in three years when I was using creatine. I also got horrible muscle cramps during and after my workouts while I was on it. I'll never take that stuff again. You may be able to lift a bit more, but all it does is blow your muscles up with a little bit of water weight.
