I agree those stacked together are great. Green Bulge and CreaPure are also great products. I used to get caught up on the NO products until I finally realized they were a waste of money. There are a few good ones out there.
BTW, Anabolicminds has a great search feature and you can find several threads regarding creatine.

Plan, cheap creatine monohydrate from GNC is fine. I've taken a few different types of creatine and have found that regular mono yields the most results. Take 5g in hot, high sugar (carb) drink. Mix it until you can't see the grains and make sure you drink it within 10 minutes. Do that before and after and you workout and you will see good results in 2-3 weeks

+1 ^^^^^^^ ...... Don't waste your money on KreAlkylyn, I have tried it and was not successful with it. Creatine monohydrate works well!

^^^This. Ultima is the best product I have used...the new version is awesome. If you just want the creatine aspect Trinitine is amazing.

My workout buddies don't know what to say when I put my fruit punch in the microwave.lol But heating the creatine mono up enough to dissolve is the trick. It absorbs faster and works more efficiently imo. Try it and you will see a difference in how fast it hits you and how you feel in the gym.

When you say it hits you fast, are you referring to how long it takes to absorb into the muscle?
younganabolic
Member
Yes. With cold gatorade or fruit punch (or any other high carb drink) that's been sitting in the refrigerator, it take anywhere from 40mins to 1hr to absorb after mixing and drinking. By that I mean you can actually feel the difference, what I call 'hitting you'. You do more reps, feel less fatigue, and just seem more 'on it' than usual. If you mix and heat the liquid up enough to completely dissolve the creatine grains, it will absorb more efficiently. You will feel it hit you within 15-20 mins and you can use less(better on the kidneys).

Once you reach muscle creatine saturation, this method is useless even if it did work to achieve saturation more quickly. Do you have any data to back you up or did you invent this try it out and assume that that is what it does?:bandit:

Very true. This method of hyped up. :redeemerwhore:

Could give SNS MCC a try. I have been using this for a few months now and love it.
For a preworkout could try Focus XT. I have seen it as low as $19.95 for 30 sevings. Doesn't contain creatine so you will need to add it in. Great for focus and waking you up in the mornings, or even for days when you have allot to do at work or a exam to study for.
We have 2 flavors available at this time (Pink Lemonade & Blue Raspberry) but will have others coming out real soon.

you got it brotha....the best 1/2 punch out there is the fully enteric coated Nitroceps/Cre-02.
Can't wait to see what you think of Nitroceps buddy...and thanks for the props on the other supps!

Currently using BSN N0 xplode and cellmass, definitely feeling a difference although I know some others haven't got much out of these and they seem to get a lot of bad press/reviews from what I've read but at the moment they're working for me ! Better energy, slight increase in vascularity etc

I have found this method to be most beneficial to me through years of personal experience and by letting friends try it. Everyone reacts differently, but everyone who has tried it has seen a difference. Of course, I react better to creatine mono better than anyone I've ever met. Try it and see for yourself. To each his own.

And ,yes, I am aware that muscles can only absorb a certain amount of creatine at a time and that they lose a certain amount of creatine over time. This method is useless even if it did work to achieve saturation more quickly? The method is useful because it works to achieve saturation more quickly. That's the point. Efficiency.

In other words, only do this during your loading process. Any other time would be a waste.

Eventually creatine saturation levels would get to the same point no matter how long it took for saturation to occur.Also I don't use the microwave, it's not healthy.

I see no scientific reasoning behind your theory and see no reason to try it out. If you are speculating that you respond better to creatine than others by using this method, you would have to prove that by doing a study with like trained athletes on the same level and again with highly trained athletes. Blood tests and creatine levels would have to be tested along with strength,size,endurance.

This is what you should gave paid attention to; "Once you reach muscle creatine saturation, this method is useless". SO using this method all the time would not be beneficial to someone who ALREADY has achieved creatine saturation. Technically if you want faster absorption of anything it should be at least room temperature to body temperature so that digestion is not slowed eg; cold drinks. Also why you would "feel" the effects of alcohol sooner when drunk warm. The time it takes to "heat up" the creatine and sugars in your stomach for absorption would be minimal at best. I would imagine if you drank your creatine with your Gatorade/fruit juice whatever at room temperature or body temperature you would notice the same results when trying to achieve saturation.The main effect from your method is from the insulin spike created from the sugars for non responders who have a hard time absorbing creatine by itself . :1244:
Explain with science your basis for this as well as Creatine has been shown to be safe for the kidneys in men even at high doses for long periods of time.

Not necessarilly. Even after the loading phase you should still take it daily. Mixing with a high carb drink and heating it up allows for the most efficient absorption imo, meaning you can use less of it- among other benefits. Even though there isn't any solid evidence that creatine is harmful to the kidneys or liver, I still cycle and think that using less is better for the body.

The longest study I've ever seen about creatine and kidneys/liver was a 9 month experiment. The subjects were young, healthy men but nonetheless they found no bad sides after using 10 grams/day for 9 straight months. I don't use it that long at a time and don't have a big fear of sides, but I always like to take the extra precaution.
The only thing I can tell anyone requarding my creatine method is to try it and see if it works for you.

Obviously you should take it daily as that keeps you saturated but the amount you lose per day is minimal and does not require any special tactic to keep you that way. I have already explained why it does not offer the most efficient absorption. Heated water also can increase solubility if you have cheap creatine, but solubility is not absorption. Basic creatine is at least 90% absorbed and creapure and equal quality creatines will be absorbed to a higher degree by themselves. Heating for Solubility helps with gas when it is cheap but increases the rate at which creatinine is produced.

Here is just one of many studies out there if you put the effort forth to find them. You have to research yourself to dispel the myths out there. You have good intentions but poor science. Go on Will Brinks site as a start and learn all you can handle about creatine.
Dr. Richard Kreider of the Exercise & Sport Nutrition Laboratory at the University of Memphis examined creatine's effect on 98 NCAA Division I college athletes. The study found no significant difference in the blood and urine samples of athletes who had been using creatine for 12 to 21 months and the samples of nonusers. Other studies have turned up similar results.
