It is very much up for debate as to whether any OTC QCarbo3 type drink/power will boost these levels enough not to get flagged. You are MUCH better off just buying creatine monohydrate powder, strong B vitamins for color, and drinking slightly salted Gatorade instead of pure water.
Trying to load up on creatine the day of the test will not get the levels up to where they need to be in order to pass using dilution. Follow the directions in the dilution post and 100% success is guaranteed (so long as stop smoking for at least a couple of days before the test).
