Creatine Mono or Bulk Leucine????

If you had to chose ONE which would you choose and why if you were running low on both? Which one out weighs the other to you??? I'm in this predicament
 
depends.. is leucine being used to aid in over all "protein" consumption, do you train fasted? do you meet your daily macro goals and use it as a fail safe? i love leucine and am a creatine non responder

Same here...I'm too a creatine non responder. I love leucine though.

I don't train fasted. I respond to creatine also
 
Leucine when in a calorie deficit and/or fasting.

Otherwise, if you respond to creatine, then creatine.
 
If this is an either/or situation, Id say buy the creatine. Theoretically, its possible/achievable to get adequate leucine intake through diet alone; not so much with creatine.
 
+1 for creatine.
I prefer a creapure version to ensure quality.

So leucine is trash if you're getting it from whey

No its not. I always add leucine to shakes to ensure i get the amount needed for MPS. I now avoid creatine after my kidney values went out of range after a few years of using it
 
Creatine

Did you have any symptoms prior to testing?

Nothing. A checkup picked it up. Bare in mind that it could have been anything and likely no cause for concern
 
Creatine, if your diet is good you're getting plenty of leucine from your diet, but probably nowhere near the multigram doses of creatine you want.
 
creatine no matter if in calorie deficit or not...you can make up the difference in bulk leucine from diet easier than you can from creatine
 
Creatin w/o a doubt

Youre moving the goal posts somewhat now. You initially asked which would be preferred in an either/or situation; this dosnt mean that what is not preferred is worthless and without merit or use.

I like this response, and agree 100%. I'd take creatine if it was either/or, but leucine is not without value.
 
Reality is that both are very useful and realistically can be had fairly cheap. Creatine will be cheaper though. Tons of options available, but Allmax makes quality staples and single ingredient powders for both.

I used both creatine and leucine from Allmax and the quality is superb. Even though creatine is abundant, only the Creapure version of the monohydrate is best. I bought a vitamin shoppe monohydrate and it smelled like dead fish. Plus when I used it NON of it dissolved. Took it right back. Yeah I'm just gonna run creation. I tweeted Jim Stoppani and even said creatine
