Just got the kre-alkalyn creatine. the label says that no loading is required. is that correct? and do i need to take it with grape juice? im starting keto and grape juice is a no-no. your faq lists Optimum Micronized Creatine Monohydrate as the recommended creatine as of nov 2010, but iirc you now recommend kre-alkalyn instead
also, i started cardio for the first time in a while. after 2 min of jogging, i felt some pain between my belly button and ribs, roughly where my top 2 abs are. about 1 minute after i stop jogging, the pain goes away. i ate 2 hours before this, drank 20 minutes before this. what is this pain? just sore abs? or is water bouncing around my stomach?
Just mix the kre alk with water. No loading required.
The pain is one of two things.
1. A lack of potassium
2. Undigested food
Try to eat fast digesting foods 2 hours before training (whey protein shake is best)
Also try to increase potassium intake.
