What type of Creatine do Yall think is best

[Berto]

nothing wrong with buying it from wal-mart . its basically the same just different names .. u just gotta read the labels

Not necessarily. As far as creatine monohydrate goes, most bodybuilders only trust Creaform brand. It's German-made and is the purest form... google around for it.

The big names like Prolab, Universal Nutrition, Optimum Nutrition all have Creaform on the label. Not sure what's at Wal-Mart.

I read somewhere that creatine from Germany is the purest form of creatine, while creatine from china is quite the opposite one. I like creatine mono. I take micronized creatine mono with apple juice or the Powerade for postworkout. It is working great for me.

Hey guys i was looking into buying more creatine and i seen on here that mono is shitty

You heard wrong. It's the only creatine with 200 plus studies to support its use, and most of what you hear as a negative comes from companies selling alternative forms that have either (1) been shown to be inferior to CM or (2) have no data at all to support their uses. Don't fall for the hype and BS.

I've been using CellMass and it has not caused any stomach discomfort at all. I also do not feel bloated from it. Seems like a good product.

I've been doing White Flood pre-workout and CellMass post-workout. Followed up with a protein shake about 20 minutes later.

The caps or the powder? I thought they discontinued the powder. Both are good, though, and they're the only creatine I use.

i started with GNC monohydrate powder. Switched to BSN capsules and felt a difference in about a week. Granted, it might have been because I was taking it more regularly- I thought the powder tasted like flavored shit...

You take creatine CAPSULES? How many mg in a cap - 750? You must take what, six a day?

Kinda expensive, don't you think?

When i took creatine i found two brands to be realy good- grape flavour body fortress creatine mono, it tasted great and had alot of sugar for extra absorbtion.
- maximuscle cyclone, tastes like shit but drinkable, has protein, creatine and all this bollocks that speeds up creatine uptake and stuff i dont really have a clue about, but it ballooned my biceps and pecs for sure. Cyclone is a good all in one for whey and creatine users who want all that other shit too.

I use a new one from "millennium sport technologies" called CRE-02

they are tablets (not caps) and have a coating on them so they go through the stomach (an acid invironment) and break down in the intestine (an alkali enviroment) which does not breakdown the creatine as much...apparently lol.

They seem to work as well as any other creatine supp ive had , but because of the passing of the stomach i get no bloating at all. and its not too expensive either

You are definitely correct. When I quickly reached the end of the bottle I decided it was time to do the math... luckily I kept the powder... once again BASIC MATH rears its ugly head!

To me...

the difference between a regular creatine monohydrate and one of those flavored company ones (the one I take currently is Size-On) is the bloat.

The bloat and my stomach are reason enough for me to shell out the extra $20 bucks per month.

Just stick with creatine mono, creapure from germany. Take with grape juice or Gatorade etc if you want the insulin spike. I like the taste of celltech but I'll only get it if it's on a clearance sale since it's not worth the money.

Take with grape juice or Gatorade etc if you want the insulin spike

you mean if you want it to be absorbed?

monohydrate's absorption is basically dependent on the insulin spike to the best of my knowledge.

 

[CellWarrior]

I have tried a few different kinds of Creatine. I always end up back just taking 100% Creatine Mono Powder mixed with Gatorade. You can buy the Creatine for under 40 bucks for a years supply. And powdered gatorade in the large tub. Ya it works well.

There are tons of creatine products out there, that range from straight creatine to creatine blends (such as Creatine with protein, or creatine with glutamine).

I recommend to use a product from a respected and technically advanced company.

Its like buying a car you don't buy a ford fiesta or a hyundai just because they are cheaper, you buy something that is quality even though it might be slightly more.

Remember this is something your putting in your body because you want it to perform so you want something that has manufacturing quality. I recommend products from Universal, Dymatize, BSN, EAS, etc.

A previous post talking about Creaform or CM is talking about the german creatine that is so pure it's patented and is used by companies like Universal and I think Dymatize, as well as a number of others.

Also someone was talking about the price, the price really depends on where you buy the product and the type of product you buy.
For example I buy EAS Phosphagen for $12.99 and Cell Tech (6.7lbs i think) for like $49.
also the universal stuff is like $20

I buy online because its cheaper, you can get 20% - 50%off retail price for the same product you can get in any sports nutrition store. Plus the place I buy from online has about 5 or 6 brands of creatine in multiple flavors and 8 or 9 types of creatine, including Kre-Alkalyn, liquid creatine, creatine with protein, creatine with glutamine, Creatine ethyl ester, and more.

Ive tried CEE, NOxplode, and regular Mono(German Creapure). The best size/strength gains I saw were from the Mono. Prolab I know for sure is Creapure. To me it was a noticeable difference after a couple weeks. The Creapure Mono was worth a little more money to me for sure.

Kre-alkalin , only two caps a day, the best

 

[Herculess]

monohydrate.
