How can I make pre workout with creatine slower acting???

[youngdude421]

I am a 30 year old male. I work odd hours, eveevenings and nights. So I get to the gym quite often at 1 AM or 2 AM and when I can fit it in.I finally broke down and got a pre-workout with creatine in it because I just can't get all my responsibilities done and fit in the gym also.  I am wondering if there is anything I can do to make the creatine pre-workout powder a little slower acting or less powerful mix it with more water maybe or I don't know what that's why I'm here asking LOL. I just want a little boost but I don't want to feel like I'm speeding all over the place so just looking for experience and advice thank you.

Well there is some evidence, in one case, a man reported taking 6-8 grams/day of creatine for about a year with no problems other than occasional diarrhea. He stopped working out and taking creatine for about 6 months while recovering from rotator cuff surgery. When he returned to his previous workout-creatine regimen, he experienced anxiety attacks.
You need to be concerned about dehydration when taking creatine.
I read a few years ago about someone that had anxiety and heart palpitations sleep apnea, and insomnia.

Creatine theoretically helps build muscle, but it shouldn't be causing speeding.  But there are probably other things in what you're taking that do.  I'd just skip the supplements and work out.  If you're workout is heavy on resistance training, then protein is what you need.  If it's heavy on cardio, then you might try energizing foods such as spirulina or bee pollen.  Adaptogens such as eleuthero and rhodiola will do more for you than bodybuilding supplements, which are full of things that are bad for you and might be full of things that aren't even listed on the label, especially if you're shopping at a place like GNC or over the internet.  Are you trying to get really big?
