As far as Creatine Mono, are all brands about the same or is there a particular Brand that is head and shoulders above the rest?

Thanks in advance for your help and response's!

I like the science behind Orotine and I'm currently having a superior experience with creatine nitrate, over my usual creapure.

Nothing is more economical then mono, but Orotine is relatively cheap for what they offer. If you can afford to sample, its worth giving these two a try, imho.
 
Just use a CM from a reputable company and you will be fine. IF, by any chance, you find CM screws with your stomach (as it does mine), only then try Kre Alkalyn (PH adjusted CM).
 
I think you will be happy with the results. Creatine is one of the most underrated supplements on he market today. I think mostly do to the fact that everyone sells it and its been saturated into every site,mag,book and then some.

So these days people think Meh its just creatine so what!!

Like it or not creatine works and a good creatine works even better. Ancient strength is one of the best pre work out creatine products you can get. The combo of fast,medium, and slow creatines gives you what you need right away and also sustained over time throughout the workout. A bottle of ancient strength combined with reg creatine mono used on off days is perfect. Its also cheap too.

I just use Dymatize Micronized Creatine Mono... Cheap, Pharmaceutical Grade, PERFECT !!
 
Thanks for the info guys, I am going to buy a small container first and see how my body reacts to it.

Again I appreciate all responses!

17 bucks for 200 days worth (2.5g 2x/day,) is pretty dang cost effective for a supplement that has stood the test of time and still stands tall against newer and innovative forms of creatine.

creatine mono/ CREAPURE: tried, tested, true.
 
I just picked up a bottle of gnc pro performance. It seems like its good stuff Im getting good pumps this week. I was also going to ask is the pro performance line of good quality? Pure Creatine in so cheap now compared to what it used to cost me back in the mid 90s when I 1st got into it.

How much per capsule? You should be fine taking 2.5g twice a day with whichever brand of Monohydrate you decide on. It should get the job done for you.
 
one heaping teaspoon supposed to be 5 grams. Ive been taking it with my morning shake and with a protein shale about 1 hour before I lift.

You could probably cut those servings in half and be fine.
 
Try Speed Xtreme by Lecheek Nutrition it has a good amout of creatine and also raised test levels. Ive been using it as a pre workout and it is really strong stuff.

so your saying all i should take is 2.5 grams of creatine twice a day? I thought 10 grams was what they say take. i like just the plain pure creatine mono i dont buy into all the hype about how it needs to be mixed with all the other stuff. i was taking it with a glass of water or throwing it onto my muscle milk shake before workouts. do i need to atleast mix it with grape juice or can i do without all the sugar?
 
Id go with Creapure 100%, i regularly use PP so i would Rec PP's creapure.
New Year's sale is also going on still i think so grab it while you can.

The manufacturer usually tells you to take more than needed so you run out quicker. Therefore you will buy more. More money for them.

I think you would be fine taking it with breakfast and postworkout. Or, this has been a pretty good resource for me:

The Optimal Creatine Dosing Schedule | Wannabebig

So, now to wrap this article up???
The Optimal Creatine Dosing Schedule:
First 2 days of creatine supplementation - Load with 10g, 2 times a day (20g per day)
After the loading phase of 20 g daily for 2 days, maintenance should be 2 g per day, Any extra is simply urinated out.
Only repeat the loading phase if you discontinue use for more than 28 days.

5 grams is all I have ever needed, more you start getting diminishing returns and run the risk of water bloat if you don't drink a lot to stay dry. All studies show 5 grams a day is sufficient to keep muscle creatine levels high that I have ever come across... if I am wrong guys, correct me.

Thermolife's C-Bol is good (creatine nitrate) and I do enjoy me some Controlled Labs Green MAGnitude when I'm looking for dirt cheap and effective flavored creatine powder. The Green Apple is to die for :)
