Alternatives to Creatine

[usamarshal]

Just want to make this clear, I know creatine is safe, but I just can't take it anymore. I can definitely tell I'm getting better reps and more weight at the gym, but I get really bad cramps and the runs. I make sure to drink plenty of fluids before and after taking it, but its just not working out.
Didn't know if anyone out there knew of any alternatives to creatine that might work for me. Thanks for any help.

try different formats of creatine, cee, orotine etc. not all have the same reaction.

cordygen is not a replacement for creatine.

I assume you're using mono? if so, try CEE.

If you are using Creatine Monohydrate, this is often a side affect of the Monohyadrat.. As Prince said, You can try the Creatine Ethyl Esther or use a Kre-Alkalyn.. The Kre-alkalyn has a ph buffer and will make it non acidic. Both are good choices and should not give you the side affects. We do carry both products on our site. The Kre-alkalyn is quite popular by Sci-Fit.
