Q: Hey Mike, I'm Mike and I want to know if taking creatine monohydrate with mass builder is ok. And if it is how should it be done?

A: By 'mass builder' I assume you mean weight gainer powder. Personally I am not a big fan of those things -- they are effectively a ton of protein with a ton of sugar or sugar-like substance. Protein is great but there's nothing good about sugar -- it will not only add muscle mass but also new fat (not to mention rot your teeth and in the worst case lead to type II diabetes). And weight gainers are notorious for misleading advertising in which they claim to be 'sugar-free' -- instead they just substitute maltodextrine or similar products which are technically not sugars but have the exact same effect. I strongly recommend eating natural nutritious foods instead of weight gainers (you can still use plain whey protein powder) to build quality muscle without the extra fat. Check out my Nutrition and Protein articles to read more about this subject.

Now... having talked about weight gainers in general, back to your specific question about creatine monohydrate. Yes, ideally you want to take creatine monohydrate with a good dose of carbs to increase its uptake into the bloodstream. That means taking it along with a weight gainer would be effective. Alternatively, you can take it along with any other carb-rich meal. Exactly how you do it doesn't matter too much as long as it happens at basically the same time as the meal. If you are making a weight gainer shake, for example, you can mix in creatine into the shake. Or just gulp it down with a little water during a regular meal. The only thing to be careful about is don't leave creatine dissplved in water for too long -- it decomposes relatively quickly. So mix it in right before you gulp it down.
