Is there any real difference between the two forms of creatine? will one bloat you more? either stronger? you guys tell me what you think. and I'm using the muscletech powder right now.
I definately had better results from the size-on powder for some reason...i didnt get much from size-on pills, wish i had the powder as some claim the powder better.
I liked that stuff too! Pills...i had the hardest time with just one pill back in the day lmao funny when i look back i would drink like 2 glasses of water to get down one pill (before bb'n). Now i can take as much as needed. 20 at a time :head:I used to choke down 8 pills of the CET by Omega.. Great stuff, but damn, 8 at a time! I literally choked the first time I tried, but my gag reflex has since relaxed a little... :icon_lol:
Good post! I guess this summarizes some key points. For those without any problems with swallowing pills and capsules, pills and capsules are a convenient way to take supplements. They have the disadvantage, though, that there is a physical and technological limit to the amount of compounds that can be packed in a pill or capsule.You probably notice powder better because of a few reasons:
1) slightly faster absorption
2)Think of how much extra stuff you can add to powder vs pills?
EXAMPLE:
Serving Size of:
Green Mag (powder) = 10.4g
SizeOn (powder) = 43g
Clout (powder) = 10.5g
CellMass (powder) = 16g
Green Buldge (caps) = 3.4g
N'Gorge (caps) = 2.55g
NeoVar (caps) = .6g
Red Cell (tabs) = 5.2g
Mean Serving Weight of 4 Randomly Selected Creatine Powders = 19.98g
Mean Serving Weight of 4 Randomly Selected Creatine Caps = 2.94g
So thats 17.04g on average of extras packed into powders vs pills
Thanks!Good post! I guess this summarizes some key points. For those without any problems with swallowing pills and capsules, pills and capsules are a convenient way to take supplements.

If powders and pills have exactly the same ingredients, powders may absorb faster, as wedgylx, already stated. Otherwise, I see no further advantage of powders. If, however, powders contain more synergistic ingredients than the pills form, prefer the powder form, even at the expense of the inconvenience of mixing the powder.
