mixing creatine - any downsid?
just a simple question from someone not incredibly familiar with creatine. i have used GNC creatine and NO-XPLODE creatine in the past, and i currently prefer NO-XPLODE. however, it is much more expensive, and it includes a lot of other ingredients like caffeine, n.o., etc, that from my understanding are only really helpful on the days you work out. so my question is this: would there be any downside to just using NO-XPLODE on the days I lift, and taking cheaper GNC creatine on my days off, to save money?
thanks in advance

indeed to both of those. I started working almost a year ago, and lifting has been sporadic, if at all since then. I suddenly have a car payment, and responsibility.
I got a better job now, and more time to lift.

i failed 2 classes because I had no time, last year. Now I have WAAAAAY more time. And more motivation
EDIT: and money!
I make about twice as much money as I did at my last job. I rarely work much more than 20 hours a week during school, now, and still have more money and time than I did before

good, the cafe is kicking ass, I just got a great review in a county newspaper, I got a new yeeob (job) and I'm in the middle of a good cut using carb cycling. After September, I plan on carb cycling during a bulk. Life is good!
