I got creatine monohydrate but then i see people saying di malate and some others may be just important or even more important than just mono. is that true?! i got some money from the training, but at this rate between the gym, gas, insurance, other supps, girlfriend, etc. i;d need to take out a loan or at this rate a mortage would just about cover the shipping costs nevermind everything else! please help me. i have other ?'s too but if you would, somebody please pm or email me! i cant keep stressing myself out with this stuff!
 
Mono is the tried and true creatine...but creatine isnt a must if ur just starting to train...get ur diet down and everything else will fall into place...
 
creatine is creatine. if mono gives u stomach problems try something else. although neovar is some pretty good stuff.

Yep. Creatine is just a place holder / carrier for an inorganic phosphate for the rapid conversion of ADP + Pi --> ATP in the phosphagen system during anaerobic exercise. Creatine becomes hydrolized and the inorganic phosphate group is cleaved off and an ADP molecule is phosphorylated to ATP. When ATP is bound to the myosin head the muscle becomes relaxed, and once the ATP becomes hydrolized to ADP and ADP is bound to the myosin head the muscle is contracted. Type II fibers have an abundance of the enzyme (creatine kinase) to catalyze this reaction. Therefore, they are capable of generating a lot of ATP molecules rapidly and given the name 'fast' fibers. Type IIx is faster than Type IIa for the reasons previously stated.
