creatine suggestions

[Miyagi44]

I'm on the look out for creatine, any good products/ deals out there you guys recommend?

[Trevor G Fullbright]

Creatine mono. Either NOW foods or truenutrition.com because you can get it cheap and in bulk.

[Jeff Williams]

+1 with the True Nutrition!!!!  Large quantities of creatine ordered are very cheap in comparison to the chain stores and their websites.

you want a brand that uses “creapure” mono.. i use Optimum Nutrition's its cheap as hell to boot

[Jeff Williams]

As Kiefer states in his creatine series of articles, “creapure” and the like are not requirements, essentially it just needs to be straight creatine monohydrate as it has the highest percentage of creatine and the best absorption and rate of absorption.

Here's the story behind creapure. When creatine first came out, a lot of the stuff that was being sourced from china was impure. A German company came along and produced "creapure" a "more pure" form of creatine. It's actually just what it was supposed to be. Now a days the stuff everywhere is pure creatine mono hydrate. So, when it used to be better it is now all the same.

I would recommend  Ethyl Ester creatine. The reason for this is that there is no bloating with this type of creatine and you don't need a loading phase. Just take 3g with water an hour before training. Get it from myprotein.com. For any further info go to their site.

Do some research on CEE.It's completely useless and a giant waste of money.

Have you tried CEE? Useless? The same could be said about a lot of supplements,but don't believe everything you read! If it works for you use it. I have used monohydrate and CEE. I prefer CEE.

This leads to our next version of creatine, creatine ethylester (CEE). Advertising hype behind CEE calls out to us from just about every magazine and website in existence, but that’s all it is: hype. CEE degrades rapidly into creatinine in solution—and under normal physiological conditions (ingestion), most of it is converted rapidly and exclusively to creatinine[54]. Researchers even found a case where the rate of conversion of CEE to creatinine was so rapid that it caused false positives for liver disease[55].CEE is pure and total crap, and the only thing you should do with it is flush it down the toilet because you might actually poison yourself by taking it. At least my doctor may have been right about one form of creatine.

I am unable to find TrueNutrition's creatine monohydrate on their website anymore.  Anyone know if they stopped selling it or something?

[maxwkw]

I've seen it on their website before.  It appears to be gone now.http://truenutrition.com/vsearch.aspx?SearchTerm=creatine

[steve_76]

The University of Tulsa have done the most recent analysis of Ethyl Ester. Go to http://www.utulsa.edu and search for analysis of Ethyl Ester. The have confirmed that it is not harmful, and also that is is not worse for you than normal creatine, however it is twice as expensive and because it absorbs quicker athletes are probably not using enough for optimal results. When I finish my CEE i'll switch back to monohydrate. The one thing that is maybe better. and was the reason I bought it, is that it doesn't cause bloating.

[Tiago Nicolau]

Creatine never caused me bloating or to any of the people i know lolMaybe you are one of the few unlucky ones to have some adverse effects to creatine mono,
