Need a good Creatine

Reports are conflicting because there really isn't a definitive answer to this question. I would recommend experimenting with dosing workout days only, or every day and see if you find one you like better.

With that said, my stance is based off of this study

In which it was found that muscle phosphocreatine levels lasted long beyond the 30 day wash-out period. While that obviously isn't the whole picture, to me that implies a slower release and would lead me to believe that once saturated, dosing every day is unnecessary.

That's a good stance to have and you're correct. For lifting benefits only, Creatine once saturated, only needs to be dosed on workout days.

However, I'd advise to anyone wanting to benefit from Creatine's other awesomeness to take daily.
 
Cremax is a good product.

Oh it's just that ingredient that needs to be taken consistently?

But mono can still be effective just taken on training days?

Additionally, the studies on phosphatidylserine regarding cognition and memory also were done with daily dosing, hence why we recommend Vital1ty to be dosed daily. Regarding creatine use, as others have mentioned you can dose on WO days only once saturated - so probably after a month of continuous use, depending on factors like how often you workout, how much you may get from diet, etc.

Gotcha, I may try that for a couple months and see how it works out then just go to mono.

Need more retailers that stock Vital1ty ;)
 
A lot of people will say a good creatine is "buy our creatine." But seriously, what training split are you on? Are you doing heavy compound joint movements at over 80% of max with a day rest between workout? If you, you will respond the same to ANY creatine because to get the most out of any creatine you have to train at that level. Mag Creatine chelate, Kre-Alk, mono, Anhydrous, creatine for creatine there isnt much difference, and NO study comparing strength gains on one versus the other with similar groups using a wash out period. The only dif with creatine is absorption and other factors in the formula that increase ATP production from ADP (Adenosine Di-Phosphate) recycling. TMG is popular right now but it is a methyl doner that affects the cellular energy process the same way other methyl doners due, such as B12.

So long story short, train at over 80% of Max, with heavy compound joint movements (bench, squat, deads) at over 80% of max, say 7-5-3-10 reps and use whatever creatine at 3-5g day depending on what it is, being kre-alk most people respond to lower doses (2.5g-3g/day). I'm telling you this and I don't even use Kre-alk anymore in GET DIESEL products.
