Ummm...no. Cheaper than name brands in their store maybe, but not cheaper than online shopping (or The Vitamin Shoppe, but they may not have those in Egypt).

thnxbud i'm trying it now i just finished the loading phase .....i hope to make some progress in the next week

How much should I take daily, how long should the loading phase last?

If you are going to buy creatine mono, then it is good idea to buy micronized creatine mono. Last time when I bought one from GNC, it wasn't micronized so it wasn't fun to take it. I felt like I was swallowing sands with apple juice.
Just my opinion.

creatine mono is creatine mono. Dont fall for gimmicks. Wellament creatine is by far the best I have ever used and have done so for the last 3 years; plus, it falls under 20 bucks.
Also, loading phases can be kept to a 3 day max, or none at all and start 3 to 10g a day.

So, do you also believe whey protein is whey protein?

When taking Creatine with your drink, you will notice you’ll never get the full amounts of the amount you take as bits get left in the bottom. Micronized Creatine is now setting the standard for creatine supplementation by producing smaller particles, which are upto 20 times smaller than the regular creatine powder.

The benefits of Micronized Creatine;

More efficient
Greater uptake into the bloodstream as theres 20 times more total surface area
Faster Absorption
Micronized creatine’s smaller particle size means quicker digestion and faster utilization.
Mixes Easier and Better
With a total of 20 times more surface area, means it’s easier, faster and more complete when mixing your creatine supplement.
Better Results
Micronized creatine offers 2000% more particle surface area for better utilization, better uptake, and faster results.

Yea get micronized. I will be. I got 3 tubs of non-micronized and I'm on my 3rd one now. It's so annoying because you dont want to put too much but when you mix it in, down your shake, then look in the shaker and realise about 2-3 grams are all over the bottle sides.

Seriously, so annoying.

So, whats youur point: creatine mono~either standard or micronized, is still the same 3 amino acids; Arginine, Glycine and Methionine.
I still dont get why you'd ask if whey is whey. It's still the same liquid shit that settles to the top of the cheese making process. Whats your point?
Emphasize.

juggernaut

oh and stop falling for the bullshit in the magazines; they prey on suckers who ask the kinds of questions you're asking, tman.

Regular creatine monohydrate is fine. it is the only type of creatine that has an enormous amount of research backing its use. The other types are nothing more than anecdotal marketing, as there really is minimal evidence supporting the claims.

Precisely, Patrick.
Save your money.
Why go with experimental shit with no backing on research, only because it fizzes? And dont forget, many companies can and will pay for research to look good, but can have that same research tilted in their direction. Go with what has been proven to work.

I swear by muscle tech cell-hardcore creatine. I've tried ultimate nutrition creatine, works well, but definitely not as well as muscle techs one

If you always look for the cheapest creatine, you might end up buying chinese creatine which is filled with leads and many other dangerous substances.

ester is fine. Rob sells a good product (all around). I just like using powder.

I was told that CEE does not require cycling, true?

there's really no true study confirming creatine's need to cycle, regardless of it being malate, ester or mono.

nkira

I do respond to mono, is CEE worth trying for a mono responder?

mono is fine. If you dont respond to mono, you have two choices: either take another dose, or try CEE. I wouldnt try any other types, since mono is mono is creatine. Just give yourself enough water (about a gallon) and see what happens.
