Cory McCarthyMemberI'm going to start drinking black coffee cold in the AM in my shake, just cus I'm hard core (and can't be bothered to go into the kitchen and turn on the kettle).
I just use caffienated instant coffee. 2 tsp = 16 oz. black in concetration. Dump in cold water, mix and drink. Easy.Cory

FairyGuestCan I take Creatine upon waking or does that have some sort of insulin response?Hmm... That would be useful for pre-prepared shakes. Are you sure instant coffee isn't bad for you?

FairyGuestI'm just looking into the Ace-L-C, lots of people saying you need to consume it with carbs for it to work?

No insulin response w/ creatine. On off-days, dosage in the AM is common.I've read nothing about instant coffee being bad, and it goes well in shakes. I am not that into coffee, and only use it for the effects, so I could care less if it is enjoyable.Instant coffee is just dehydrated. I buy it at a natural market, and there are zero added ingredients. Just coffee.Cory

ALCAR w/ carbs? Never heard that one, and I've read all the studies on it, and been using it for years.Works well! Tastes like utter shit... kind of like a rotten lemon. 😮Also, do not breathe it in (accidentally), it will singe your sinuses something awful.Cory

It's the same as people saying you need carbs with creatine, the thought being it increases uptake.It doesn't matter though, just take the stuff. I prefer the taste of ALCAR over other things I've taken, I don't find it all the horrid.

FairyGuestDon't worry, if I can drink 20g BCAAs + 20g Hydrolysed Whey, I can drink anything.

ALCAR isn't as bad as Citrulline... and neither comes close to the 1-Carboxy I choke down nightly. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, is as horrid as 1-Carboxy, and I've taken a lot of raw supps in my time.Cory

My only beef w/ coffee is it is one of the most highly sprayed products w/ pesticides, so its alot of toxins if your ingesting as much as i do.there is a limit to all things, but organic coffee is very healthy stuff.

I plan on getting some of that stuff soon, and I wont lie, you have made me worry about the taste.I'll still get it, I just hope I wont puke.

FairyGuestAw, I bet it's not that bad. You're making me want to order it just so I can take it and not puke and then tell you to man up ;O)

Good shit, and I sleep like a baby on it... so, it is well-worth the flavor. Smells like a fish market combined with tea leaves.Tastes like burnt ear wax.Just stir it well, and dump it back. 🙂Cory

It's bad tasting, but sometimes I exaggerate for the element of humor. 😉Which reminds me, people have been requesting I begin a supplement experiment log.Cory
