What kind of Creatine do you use?

Postby Mark McManus on Sat Sep 06, 2008 6:26 pm

I'm curious as to what kinds of creatine you guys are using out there.

I personally believe micronized creatine monohydrate is best. You'll know it's micronized as it will feel like fine powder, not gritty like regular monohydrate.

As you may know from some of my articles, I'm unconvinced by other types of creatine. Until some independent research confirms something works better than M.C.M. I won't be making the change.

So what are you using and what are your experiences?

Hey Mark- I'm using con-cret, and I like it as far as reduced side-effects, but i'm a bit put off by the lack of information on the label about the dosage. I dont know if I'll continue to use it after my bottle runs out.

Before con-cret, I wasn't using creatine for awhile. When I did, it was micronized mono.

Plain creatine monohydrate. All other variations and fancy suffixes like -ethyl ester, -chelate, -pyruvate, -alkalyn, etc. have given zero added strength/energy and provided no added results that I wasn't already getting from regular creatine other than costing more money.

Yeah I'm in agreement with that. I'm all for personal testing so therefore not against trying the others at all. My experience is that monohydrate is actually best. It's been around for a while now so companies are always going to take advantage of that with a new "improved" creatine, 1000% more effective than regular creatine. Oh well :roll:

Ive been using Primaforce's CEE Capsules for a while now but been reading up and read your article on your thoughts about other types of Creatine and been thinking once run out will go back to Monohydrate.

Think only reason i stuck with CEE was because it was capsules and easily shoved down the throat before training as being honest not seen any great difference between it and when i did use Monohydrate.

Dymatize micronized creatine... about $17 for 1.1 kilos. I definitely felt a difference going to micronized from regular.

I do use BSN production. They best. Try x-plode. More important is proper nutrition and glutamine. ;)

Your name is suspicious and the fact that you've named a couple of products as your one and only post is too. Please make sure you don't use this forum to post things where the only purpose is to advertise for a product or website, ok? Keep it focused on natural bodybuilding and you will be most welcome here, I assure you! :mrgreen:
