If youre planning on diluting for the scheduled U/A, be sure to do your creatine-loading at least 3 days prior. It takes 2-3 days for the body to convert creatine into creatinine. Creatinine is the end waste product that is found in urine and tested for at the labs. Also, urine Specific Gravity is checked along with creatinine in determining overdilution. Low S/G and creatinine levels are indicators of overdilution. Therefore, when diluting, use a sports drink (ie Gatorade) instead of water, since it helps maintaining a satisfactory S/G.

Theres lots of posts in this forum of QF success stories and they all can be found by doing a Forum Search. I personally prefer premixed synthetics (in which the QF is) over powdered urine, which has to be mixed first. Powdered urine lends itself to mistakes of either overmixing or undermixing. Premixed synthetics are excellent for "practice drills" in that they can be heated and reheated over and over. Powdered urine, on the other hand, is pretty much a one-shot deal once its mixed.
Thanks for such a detailed response, I really appreciate the info. Would it hurt if I just started creatine-loading now? And how much creatine should I be taking? How many hours prior to the test should I start diluting with gatorade?
