Green tea vs creatine - Ausbb

It says not to consume caffeine while taking creatine, but M&F recommends in most articles on supplements creatine and green tea.

I am pretty sure green tea contains caffeine.

Does anyone know if green tea consumption affects the benfits in consuming creatine?

Ah thats good to hear.

What about coffee? For sure that effects it. I remember drinking coffee while taking creatine before I read the container.

I was peeing all the time.

I currently drink 3 - 4 cups of green tea a day, and take creatien prior to my workouts. no issues noticed from my end.

It is said that while green tea is high in caffeine it alos contains a chemical that actually blocks the effects of the caffine, which is why you dont get the rush or energy as you do from coffee or black tea.
