[rdj6107]

i know creatine is a must in many workout programs and diets. not so much as brand, but what is the best type of creatine on the market. if you mention a brand, coolio. thanks.

 

[Vitruvian]

Creatine Monohydrate is the one with the most data, and is the most time tested and proven.

Creatine nitrate and creatine magnesium chelate are 2 newer ones that are very promising.

 

[nattydisaster]

Micronized Creatine Monohydrate

 

[mw1]

MCC or creatine Nitrate

 

[midlandindian]

primordial performance creapure. it's a mono, cheap, and works well

^^^x2.

 

[SilentBob187]

Creapure® Creatine Monohydrate

 

[Dandelo]

Kre- Alkylyn.

 

[mw1]

The only problem with Mono is some users experience bloating or GI issues.

 

[islandmagic]

Crepure PP the bomb!!!! CRE-02 Da bomb

Con cret????? HMMMMMM up in the air on this one!

 

[Rosie Chee]

The only problem with Mono is some users experience bloating or GI issues.

Then use creatine monohydrate in the form of either Kre-Alkalyn or CreaPure.

 

[adawg4929]

Creapure probablly your best bet however Creatine Magnapower is also a very solid creatine.

Im not quite sure my feelings are creatine nitrate as it would likley have to be contained in a product that could stop any possbile negative effects from the nitrates.

Because they did not use crepure........ just my two cents

 

[Ev52]

nitrates + icarrin= no no. Yet I've seen products with both.

I like creapure, Magnapower and Omega trinitine.

 

[JN230]

primordial performance creapure. it's a mono, cheap, and works well

highly highly agree, creapure creatine is whats in my pantry right now

 

[Garyboy]

Creatine Orotate!

 

[bikeswimlive]

I'm going to have to agree here. I experienced absolutely zero bloat from it......and it's cheap:

Another cheap, effective option with creatine is NP's bulk mono:

I always go with mono. It is the most tested. I don't know if all of the "special" blends are worth three times the price of mono.

I found this very informative. I highly recommend you watch it.

YouTube - About Creatine and Your Best Buys

 

[southpaw23]

Monohydrate and Creatine Citrate.

 

[southpaw23]

nitrates + icarrin= no no. Yet I've seen products with both.

I like creapure, Magnapower and Omega trinitine.

Why is nitrates plus icariin a no-no? I use a product that contains both.

 

[Ev52]

It depends on the amount but it can cause a very unsafe drop in blood pressure.

Thanks for the info...had no idea. I'll definitely be more aware next time I take it.

 

[team180]

Kre- Alkylyn.

x2 :wink1:

 

[drinkyboy]

I get horrible bloat from mono, though it does work well. I have tried con-crete for a couple months and was very very amazed with the amount of strength i had gained with no change in body composition. Just ordered MCC by SNS to see how that pans out. Keepin my fingers crossed.

 

[mmacrazy]

I had a sample of CREATure from beast. Thought it was real good ! contains 4 different types of creatine including CREApure.

Was thinking of trying kre-alkalyn, or con-crete as well.
I believe optimum nutrition has a micronized creatine that is CREApure.

Monohydrate... regular old mono micronized.

 

[rdj6107]

i just ordered some creapure from primordial. i also picked up some factor-1. can they be used together??

I don't know what 1-Factor is, but ANYTHING can be used with creatine.

 

[delsolrob]

I think you're refering to TCF-1...yes, that's fine to run along with your creatine.

Creatine mono FTW!

 

[rdj6107]

yes that what i was referring to. i was distracted and needed to multitask so i abbreviated.

 

[playmaker784]

monohydrate

 

[MM11]

I get nasty stomach issues from mono. So I use NP dicreatine malate. Super cheap an super effective.

 

[pilip99]

mono

 

[Outstanding]

mono

This seems to be the overwhelming winner in this thread... due in large part to the fact over all the years it has been commercially available, even with outrageous claims and marketing, NO other variation of creatine has been proven more effective.

The only other creatine I would try or experiment with would be Creatine MagnaPOWER and/or Creatine Nitrate.

Kre-A did nothing for me, even at quadruple+ dosages for weeks and months on end. Its MONO or nothing for me.

 

[thenightmare2]

i use mono on non workout days and ancient strenght 3 pre and 3 post on workout days

 

[islandmagic]

I Just got a about 2weeks sample of con-cret... I took it yesterday 1st time.... I felt all amp up.. I did not take any pre-work. I am thinking placebo -- I will report back today...

 

[fightbackhxc]

Micronized Creatine Monohydrate

I like Creapure or Dymatize Micronized Creatine Monohydrate

 

[JudgementDay]

Creatine Nitrate, the stuff is amazing!

 

[needtogetmuscle]

Creatine Pyruvate
look it up

 

[mw1]

Creatine Nitrate, the stuff is amazing!

Ince you try creatine nitrates nothing else compares

 

[mw1]

Creatine Nitrate, the stuff is amazing!

Once you try creatine nitrates nothing else compares

 

[thenightmare2]

Creatine Pyruvate
look it up

some good stuff! very little bloat

 

[HereToStudy]

Creapure, if you are going to go with mono, which is one of the most researched supplements, why not go with the purest form available, especially when it can be had for damn cheap.

 

[Whacked]

Who's making this??? (Brand/Company)

[Outstanding]

Who's making this??? (Brand/Company)

There are a few, I just noticed it is included (undoubtedly in a small amount) in VPX's Shotgun and Synthesize.

 

[JudgementDay]

APS Nutrition Creatine Nitrate!

 

[Ev52]

C-Bol by Thermolife is the most complete in my opinion.

 

[KashMoni]

Creapure® Creatine Monohydrate

This. Stick to 3-5g at most and no bloating...

 

[JOHN 62]
