Is there a best form that is easiest to digest and absorb? Micronized, Hcl, etc.. there is alot to choose from Thanks!
Thank you brother!Creatine HCI and Magnesium Creatine Chelate are the easiest to digest and absorb.
Creatine Monohydrate is what most people think of when they think of creatine, as its the most well-known, and is fine for a lot of people.
But for people that want forms that deliver the results without the bloating and fluid retention associated with regular monohydrate and without the stomach issues that some experience with regular monohydrate, then Creatine HCI and Magnesium Creatine Chelate are the way to go.
Magnesium Creatine Chelate (Creatine Magnapower) is a clinically researched and branded form from Albion/Balchem, a company famous for their high absorption minerals. This form offers enhanced bioavailability without the negatives that some experience with regular creatine.

Creatine HCI is a highly bioavailable form that increases the absorption and solubility and delivers the benefits without the negatives that some experience with regular creatine.

Between Creatine HCI and Magnesium Creatine Chelate, I don't think that there is one that is clearly better than the other. I think that one person may like one better and the next may like the other better.
Honestly the best creatine is the one you can get for the best price, they basically all are the same in terms of effect. Canadian Costco sells 1kg (200 servings) of creatine monohydrate for 40$ cad, great deal. If monohydrate doesn't sit well in your stomach go with hcl.Is there a best form that is easiest to digest and absorb? Micronized, Hcl, etc.. there is alot to choose from Thanks!

If I'm reading right it's 200mgs of magnesium per 2500mgs creating right. Regular works fine for me but I like the idea of getting the magnesium with it. I'm laid off but plane on giving it a shot sometime. Well that and I have ocd so sometimes even ordering a difffrent creating might wreck my world for a day or two sometimes. Ha. Back to the point. I'd probably take 10mgs a day so I'd get 800mgs of magnesium right? That would be nice and I'd just drop my magnesium supplement and get it with my creatine. Also I'm aware studies say you only need 5 grams but I always feel like my muscles are fuller on more. Ha maybe it's in my head but that's what I do. Also to the op Incase you don't know Sns products are some of the best.Creatine HCI and Magnesium Creatine Chelate are the easiest to digest and absorb.

Kinda sounds like an early version of 'Kre-Alkalyn' which was just creatine and baking soda hahaI'm old school creatine mono all day, occasionally I use hcl and it seems to work just the same so those are my suggestions.
Random question, Steve might know this, but
Back in the ...... Maybe late 90's early 2000's there was a supplement marketed as an alternative to creatine non responders, it wasn't popular, it didn't last I don't think. But does anyone know what I'm talking about. I feel like it was called swole. It was a yellow powder that fizzed a lil when you mixed it up. I can't find it but I'm just wondering if anybody knows what the active ingredient actually was. Or was it just like Alka-Seltzer lol

Not being disagreeable and don't mean this in a negative way at all, but wanted to explain something about creatine that a lot of people that can tolerate monohydrate don't realize.
The best creatine monohydrate may be the best creatine monohydrate that you can get for the price; but he asked form of creatine that is easiest to digest and absorb, and that is definitely not creatine monohydrate.
It's not that there's anything wrong with creatine monohydrate if you can take it with no issues, but many of us cannot - it bloats me so bad that my daughter said I look like I swallowed a Volkswagen when I take it. It bothers my stomach and I'm so bloated that I feel sluggish and miserable on it.
Creatine HCI and Magnesium Creatine Chelate both have studies showing superior absorption along with tons of real world feedback about them not causing the stomach issues or bloating and fluid retention that many people experience with creatine monohydrate.
@Hyde is a great poster here, and I hope he doesn't mind me mentioning it, but he has posted about this and that he thought he couldn't really take creatine because monohydrate bothered his stomach so much. We had discussed it and he tried Creatine HCI and is able to use it with no issues.
For people that don't want the bloating and stomach issues that many people get from creatine monohydrate, Creatine HCI and Magnesium Creatine Chelate are a whole different world and allow many people to be able to take it that wouldn't otherwise.
Stick to meat. The whole water bloating ™ thing with creatine monohydrate is mostly a myth or just short-term water retention inside the muscle (which is actually a good thing for performance and recovery). If someone is getting full-body bloating like they swallowed a Volkswagen, its likely a diet issue or something else causing digestive distress, not the creatine itself.
Creatine monohydrate is the most studied, most effective, and most bioavailable form, and any claims of ‘superior absorption’ from other forms rarely translate to better muscle saturation in real-world studies. The HCl and magnesium versions might be easier on the stomach for a small percentage of people, but for most, monohydrate works perfectly fine and is dirt cheap.
Bottom line: Eat your steak, take your creatine, and don’t overthink it.â€
Sorry There was an AutoCorrect on my phone if that is easier to type on my phone I didn’t mean to change your edit any post my apologiesMan, that is some shady **** you quoting my post and then editing my post to try to make it look like it was saying something besides what it actually says.
And doing it bc you're pissy because I and other people pointed out how irresponsible it is to post sarm and research chemical recommendations in a thread in the supplement section where someone was asking for supplement suggestions. No one cares if you want to pimp sarm's and research chems but don't try to pass them off as supplement suggestions - at least have the decency to state that they aren't supplements.
The original post literally stated:
Is there a best form that is easiest to digest and absorb?
I answered the actual question as asked and clearly stated in 2 different posts that creatine monohydrate was fine for people that can take it but for people that have stomach issues from it (hence answering the actual question about easiest to digest) that Magnesium Creatine Chelate and Creatine HCI are better forms.
