Louis Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Hi Guysthanks for all your replied from my previous post about supplementsI got some creatine now.I read a post on this sitehttp://www.nzbodybuilding.co.nz/content.php?id=182"Many users find that they get better results from creatine when combined with 30g of high glycemic (high GI) carbohydrates. Taking high glycemic simple sugars will spike the body’s insulin levels," quote from the postdoes it mean having a bit a sugar AFTER workout with protein to increase insulin level which will improve protein absorption into muscle?thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo1 Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 I believe that's the theory - insulin stimulates protein synthesis. I use dextrose which is absorbs into the blood stream quickest to help replenish any depleted glycogen stores, so the protein that i eat is used for repairing muscles and not used for energy or replenishing glycogen stores.Please correct me if my thinking is wrong!

Android Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Insulin first shuttles nutrients into the cells, this is what the sugar with creatine is doing, and yes, insulin also stimulates protein synthesis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudonym Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 Not at all stupid. In fact it's ideal. :nod: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
