i use Creatine ethyl ester but some on here have studies that show all you need is creatine monohydrate CHEAP effective
Creatine Ethyl Ester (CEE) converts to creatininine
"It is concluded that creatine ethyl ester is a pronutrient for creatinine rather than creatine under all physiological conditions encountered during transit through the various tissues, thus no ergogenic effect is to be expected from supplementation."
Mono and creatine nitrate for me
Magnesium creatine chelate is good too.
Creapure monohydrate is the king though.

I prefer the ethyl ester, same results in strength for me as mono- without the overall look of a "pouty" body ie: water retention where it isn't needed.
...probably because you aren't getting any conversion to creatine with CEE.
feasible considering the studys, however I have taken both and have noticed the same positive effects was my point.

mmm i do have to wonder about my CEE, because i dont really FEEL a difference in my work outs
Honestly, I might stop taking creatine all together. I am pretty sure it did absolutely nothing for me. When I run out I'm going to see what happens. But that's not to say it's a bullshit product I know a lot of people see results, just giving my experience.
How do you prepare it to drink?
The placebo effect can be one explanation of this.
It's tough to perceive the effects of something that isn't there. It's tougher to attribute the benefits to something that isn't there either.
Perhaps there was an error or misleading conclusion in the study?
I put it in milk in the morning.
I just take a spoonful of it dry and chase it back with a shake. ihateschool, have you tried taking it with a decent whack of dextrose and whey post-workout? The insulin spike and improved uptake might work a charm for you.
No, I actually don't take dextrose or whey at all lol. Can I just put it in chocolate milk post workout?
Built/ihate, I'm reasonably sure that it needs to be dissolved fully to be properly utilized. I've heard this numerous times.

Well I'll be damned I have never even heard a mention of this ever. Hopefully I'll notice some weight gain this time around.
I tend to notice higher "strength endurance" when I lift in the 8+ range (i.e., the 7th,8th reps tend to not feel too much heavier than the 2nd,3rd reps.)
Doesn't specify the amount of water.
I believe he (or someone) mentions that they put the creatine in their hot tea. So I guess there practically isn't an upper limit on the temperature.
Well since I apparently don't know shit about creatine, is 10g a day a good dose? That's what I've been doing.
