Thread: Confused about Creatine

i used Pure Creatine from Prolab and mixed it with glutamine and grape juice powder. I heard the ISS type brand of creatine is amazing too.

by the way i am 18yrs and i suggest taking any one of the two because i gained 12lbs of pure muscle 25lbs all together.

you attribute the gaining of the 12lbs to using creatine?

Well, I am confused at exactly what your question is?

As far as creatine I just bought some Micronized creatine by Met-Rx for $10 at Wal-Mart. I plan on mixing it with my EAS protein shake in the morning (1 teasponn = 5 grams; 1 bottle = 40 servings).

Well what I ment was that there are like huge jugs and then like small bottles of creatine with like different stuff I guess and I have no idea which one to get. (flavor, whats in it, etc)

Oh, well it depends if you want one that has dextrose and flavoring, such as Celltech.
If you plan on mixing your own then you can just buy a small bottle of micronized creatine.

Mixing? nah, I just need one where you can just like put it in your milk or water or whatever. Like the one I'm using now is like a chocolate one, I put 2-3 scoops in with a glass of milk, put it in the blender and I'm done. Does creatine have any of that stuff?

i attribute those gains to hard training and creatine. Man everyone thought i was on juice.

Cell Tech has done the best for me so far. I used to use only SPORTPHARMA products because PROMAX protein was about the easiest to use and had a descent taste.Almost every company has some type of creatine either plain powder,dextrose mix,or effervescent.Some of these co's have all in one powders that have glutamine,creatine,and various other transport aiding nutrients.You could go to different supplement co. sites & request a catalog.
You'll go thru alot of supp's that waste your time and $$ until you find what works best for you.GOOD LUCK!!

I've used creatine with any sort of carb drinks but the best so far is Cell-Tech. Creatine with milk is not the way to go. You want to spike your insulin level to drive the glucose/creatine into the muscle. Milk does not cause enough of an insulin spike to deposit much of anything in the muscle.
