Best Overall Creatine Product?

[Rucinski5503]

i have not been lifting that long and being new to weight training i made the dumb mistake of thinking more money means better supps. i used cell tech hard core for a bit , i did notice some gains , but then i started using size on drinking it while i worked out and before i would do 2 scoops of super pump 250 using those two supps i saw body changes and in very little time

[danmcbabe]

I just started SizeOn today. I started drinking the 24oz. required throughout my workout. A few sets in I start getting the feeling like I am going to throw up. This is to the point where if I take another sip, I'm done for. I only managed to get through 12 oz. in my workout that lasted 45 mins!!! I seemed to have this problem with Endorush, but I would take that 30 minutes prior to working out. Could the problem be that my digestive system is shutting down as I workout? Could anyone shed some light on what the problem is or how I should adjust to this?

I do not have the exact answer to why it does this, but I have the same issue. You're not alone. I feel sick about half-way or even less through the 24 ounces. I just take it post-workout and I feel fine. It's much easier b/c I'm thirsty anyway and it's like drinking lemonade (I use arctic lemon ice). So, my advice is attempt to take it post-workout. It says right on the tub that it can be taken immediately following your workout.

[danmcbabe]

That sounds good. I shall try this today.

[Ryan314]

I found SizeOn to be just way too much per serving. The serving size of SizeOn is ridiculous and my stomach just could not handle it... also taking 2 scoops of SuperPump250 prior, it was just overkill for me.

I've always had problems with creatine powders (Green MAG, SizeOn, etc.) and now I'm just using pill type creatine (CE3). It's alot easier on my stomach and doesn't give me any GI distress.

[danmcbabe]

Prior to this, I was taking Green Buldge in capsule form as well. I figured it would be time to try SizeOn and try to find the same results everyone else is having. Does anyone have any pro or cons about creatine in capsule form?

[CONTROLLED LABS]

You get what you pay for. :)

yup. green magnitude is a great price for 80 servings (close to 3 months of use) of next gen creatine plus extras :)

[BoockCake]

does "size on" have any caffien, or pro hormone in it?


Does it make you jittery like the other caffien based products? Thanks

[JakeBinz]

I'm using Cell Mass and I'm definately getting results. I get great pumps during workouts (1 inch arm pumps). Even on non-training days I've got a pumped up feeling and good muscle hardness. Good recovery from hardcore workouts. Can't complain!

[nrut88]

So I'm debating over Anabolic Switch or Green Magnitude...

I'm really leaning towards Green Magnitude though.. Any input as far as size and strength gains are concerned on Green Mag?

[Mordy5]

I just started working out and train 3 days a week, i have been taking green magnitude pre workout as suggested. But what about days i'm not training do i still have to take Creatine? Is Green Mag just a Pre workout creatine?

Thanks for any help

its not a stimulant, but it does have focus ingredients. green bulge works very well too :)

Size-On is just a proprietary creatine product. No stims (that are worth mentioning) and certainly no pro-hormones other than the ones you signal yourself by training.

Are 5 caps of Green Bulge sufficient for me to obtain 5 gm Creatine daily?

Thanks.

I agree on the Punch, it's not much to write home about. I've stuck with Grape which is incredible. No bitterness and tastes like a well-mixed Kool-Aid packet. Just make sure it's cold. Great refreshment mid-workout.

I can tell you, Green Mag is one helluva supplement. I'll be hard pressed to switch to any other creatine anytime soon. Course, that's all it is-a supplement to hard training and nutrition. Those deciding "xxx v. xxx" should make certain they have form, understanding of sets, reps, and training down cold, as well as a solid nutritional base before debating about supplements. Just a thought, and some free advertising for Green Mag.

[sensei101]

thanks for the speech that we already know..wanna tell me why u negged me you rat drooping bastard?

[ASASN21]

I am taking CL Green Bulge right now and have been taking it for probably 3-4 months now. Overall, I am happy with it. I really haven't seen much gains in strength tho lately. I chose GB because I needed something quick to take with my schedule, and a pill fit the bill. But i'm really not seeing any differences anymore so after doing much reading I have decided to stop the GB and do a new stack:

CL Green Mag (Pre)
ON 100% Whey Protein (Post)
CL Orange Triad

How does that stack look? Any other suggestions for a PreW creatine?

[sensei101]

Are you talking about the Body Fortress Protein? I went there last week to pick some up because its only like $12 and I'm short on cash, but they were sold out. So I ended up picking up some Six-Star Protein there for like $6 more.

I have heard decent things about Body Fortress Protein....especially for the price.

[sensei101]

hey no,
I mean creatine..They sell tubs of pure mono if im not mistaking.

[sandmanse7en]

I have to say that Creakic is the best creatine out right now. I have tried Monohydrate, MRI CE2, and Creadex by Muscle Asylum. The pump that I got with Creakic was ridiculous.

[sensei101]

muscletech..no thanks..I dont wanna buy anything from them because they make their products look like they will cure cancer if used in a certain way..I never thought that a companys advertising would turn me away..but freezing plates to like-454 degres and **** like that just makes me think that they spend more money on getting the non educated buyer hooked..

This really should have been a poll.

I have used green bulge, but I cant remember to hit it at the same time with all my other umpteen handfuls of sups.

Would like to have something more concentrated.. any suggestions?

Green Mag, is pretty sweet...is it ok if i take 2 scoops a day? im almost 17

[ooREXoo]

Kilo of generic creatine monohydrate = $20
Grape juice = $4

$24 for about 100 servings

about a $0.24/serving

[sensei101]

why grape juice?

[stathis723]

is suposed to have the sugar u need to get ur insulin spike into a High lvl wich is not true.. ur creatine need 30-45 min to be absorbed.. if u drink grape juice u may have the insulin spike for the first minutes but not untill the whole creatine is absorbed ;p

[sensei101]

so ebst way to get creatin absorb?

[nintendodude]

Green Mag, is pretty sweet...is it ok if i take 2 scoops a day? im almost 17

Two scoops is overkill, in my opinion. A scoop at once, or half a scoop pre-workout and half a scoop post is also optimal. (I do that occasionally, and love the results.)

Micronized Creatine Monohydrate by AST Sports Science.

I've gotten nothing but positive feedback from this supplement. I felt stronger and can last longer between sets and reps than when I did without it. Monohydrate has been receiving positive feedback from a lot of other athletes as it has also worked for them so it's your best bet to try it out.

A 1000 Gram (http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/ast/microcreatine.html) bottle of creatine could last me for months and it's well worth it. Being that it is from an establish company like AST, I had nothing to worry about.

I agree. AST Micronized Creatine Monohydrate is my favorite. It's cheap, lasts for months and works great.

[li0n]

Ok so let me get this straight, "creatinine" is essentially the term used for when creatine (combining with your stomach acids) becomes a toxin in your system, correct? And when that toxin induces itself, this is when you start to experiece side effects.......? Is that assessment fairly accurate, or no?

Yep, creatine "becomes a toxin in your system".

You should actually stop posting here because bodybuilding.com also causes a toxin your eyes when you look at it.

I'm wearing special protective sunglasses.

I'm experiencing the side effects.

I'd like to see some scientific data backing up what you're saying.

Everything I've read has stated that creatine with a high GL carb will help its absorption into the blood stream as a product of spiked insulin levels (the hormone that tells your body to store muscle energy and energy creating molecules).

No, pro bodybuilders who are age-ranged in their 30s+ only do one scoop of Green Mag. Your body will just get rid of the excess amount down the toilet, and with it goes your money.

[ooREXoo]

Yes it is for insulin spike,

However, insulin "spikes" actually last for hours, not minutes.

good god +1 on that...

way off base....creatinine is not a toxin.

Your body actually produces it. It is a material produced from the breakdown of creatine phosphate.

It is usually flushed down the toilet after you take a whiz. lol.

[blakekyle321]

SizeOn is the best. just find it on sale so its not so expensive

I've tried cell-tech, cellmass, and size on... of them cell-tech gives you a major crash when you stop using it, didn't realize the amount of sugar til after. Cellmass tasted the best and was easiest to drink, worked alright...

Sizeon definitely worked the best for me. Found it hard to drink the whole thing but the results were there.. been considering mono, I might give it a go

[ottoevans]

lol so how about Higher Power????

[EEytonJones]

lol so how about Higher Power????

higher power mono is good. thats what ive been using for a while
the 1000g tube

[thebrindle]

CNP Creatine the tablets didnt really do much for me except give me some cramp but i shot up with the powder form

[asalways]

Is Universal Creatine Chews a good one taking pre-workout?

[tmaxx123]

I just got a tub of Green Magnitude, and realized that in the warning it says not to take it 3-4 hours with yohimbe. But NaNo Vapor has some Yohimbe in it.

I was planning on stacking both. Is this a bad idea?
I take a half scoop of Vapor and Half scoop of Green Mag.
so not the whole dose....but still is it a bad idea?
if not why not?

Also im switching from Gaspari Nutrition Size On. And i took a little under a half a scoop of that. So will that half a scoop transfer well ,muscle gain wise, to the half a scoop of Green Mag? Or should i take more green mag?

[Ryan314]

lol so how about Higher Power????

I use there pill form CE3. Cheap, gets the job done.

I used gnc brand creatine mono and it gave me stomach problems/diarreah and the powder didn't dissolve in the water..it just sat at the bottom and when I drank it i basically had 10 grams of powder at the bottom waiting for me



I bought green mag/purple wraath a few days ago and have had no problems at all with them, and am glad i bought them




I noticed that the gnc brand creatine isn't that great either. The Amplified Creatine 189 is alright but I'm taking enough pills as it is. So, I prefer CellTech. Some don't like it (mostly because they don't like the company rather than having an actual problem with the product) but I think that it's great. I wouldn't use two full servings a day like the directions suggest though. Anabolic Switch by MRI is a good choice as well in my opinion.

[tellmewhy]

I see a lot of people hyping the Green Mag. I don't know much about health and body building but what I do know is that you shouldn't cut health for "gains". Green Mag has Taurine and Tyrosine in it, both are not healthy and even worse when they are together. This product is more a pre workout pump than a creatine supplement. I dunno, I just felt the need to say this. This forum in general sketches me out because the hype is directly related to whats the front page in the store LINKED to the forum.

[mbrogz3000]

Still using Sizeon (1 scoop after workout, occasionally on nonworkout days too) and Superpump (1 to 1.5 scoops preworkout), and I got a nice compliment from my parents whom I hadn't seen in 2 months since my wedding. I know for a fact that I have been lingering around 170 lbs (5'10") since the wedding, but I think my fat is burning and muscle is growing in place. They thought I was rather skinny during the wedding, but much better looking now. I don't really get feedback from my wife because she takes it as me "talking about myself all the time", so I try to refrain...

I haven't really bulked at all, just solidified my shoulders and upper/middle back, and noticeable more definition in my arms. When they hugged me, they were like 'your solid'. I'm also getting that v-shape at my waist. My upper and middle abs are gradually coming though (such a slow process!).

But here is my question I am switching to Green Magnitude today from cell-mass I need a change. When is the ideal time to take Green Magnitude and PW now that I have both. I know you are supposed to take PW intra but can I get a time to take the Green Magnitude like 30-60 minutes before ? or 30-60 after? Also what is another good product to stack with green magnitude.

green mag preworkout (30 minutes pre) and purple wraath during the workout (you can start sipping on it a few minutes before). another good one to add is white flood, you can mix it in the same shake as green magnitude if you like.

[Pbmiyagi91]

i just take kre alkylyn cap...they are cheap and work just fine. creatin matrixes are to expensive to use all the time...although i do like the amount of servings you get with green mag and the price is ok :)

Wow, by just reading from Muscle tech I'll gain 2.3 pound.whoa gotta buy it ASAP!!!!!! LMAO

[will742]

I used to buy generic brand creatin when I was younger and it seemed to work pretty well for me back then. Now that I'm older (about to be 20), I bought some Green Mag to stack alongside White Flood and hopefully I see similar or hopefully better results this time around.

What I'm wondering is, since I can mix the two in a shake beforehand... should I still use the standard serving sizes for both products or should I try mix-and-matching to see which gets me the best results?

Sorry if this is a newbie question... I'm pretty new to this whole scene if you can't tell haha

Is good or bad is monohydrate or not?

[asalways]

It seems that Animal Pump is a good pre-workout Creatine Matrix. Anyone used it so far, please comment!

[CONTROLLED LABS]

i just take kre alkylyn cap...they are cheap and work just fine. creatin matrixes are to expensive to use all the time...although i do like the amount of servings you get with green mag and the price is ok :)

have you tried the free green magnitude sample? it will seal the deal imo :)

You seem to always talk about universal products;)

You seem to always talk about universal products;)
I have found some good results from Universal Products, so it always remains my first choice to try and use them. And I recommend them to others too, not because I am obsessed with the brand, but because they give good results. If you can suggest some other products, you can tell me. In addition to Universal, I also talk about NOW, FOY, Prolab, etc, in short, the products which give good results.

I went through a tin of Animal Pump. Waste of $ IMO.
Green Mag is a great creatine and stacked with other CL products gives outstanding results.

What are the pro' & Cons of the pills vrs. powder. I am currently using cell-mass and I am switching to a controlled labs product either green mag or green bulge. What is better ? What are the pro's and cons of both. It would seem that taking green bulge would be easier just to take some pills instead of mixing a shake before then drinking PW intra which I already do. Does green bulge work just as good as green magnitude and what if anything is the difference in the two.

Also would staking green bulge with white blood be the same as staking green magnitude with white flood?

[USMC_25]

i just started crealean2 by labrada. Anyone heard of this?

I cannot say the differences between the two, but Green Mag is easily the best creatine supplement on the market. I consume White Blood pre-workout and Green Mag post. I have tried a variety of products, and these two have produced the best results. I am curious to try White Flood, but I love the results of Mag & Blood so much, I am reluctant to experiment!

its all about preference for pills versus powder and whether you want stims and beta alanine with flood versus blood :)

so most popular are:
1. Size ON
2. Cell Mass
3. Green Mag
4. SAN's v-12 Turbo

but i cant say which is truly the best one :D
too much of opinions

well as for me , now i'm using universal creatine chews, i think it works, as i've been making progress almost every time i go to the gym. But i also fell that its not very good for my stomach sometimes..

I would like to try any of these 4 i mentioned, but its quite hard to find them in my location.

[Astro_Gym]

If White Flood and White Blood facilitate and enhance the pump, why is it recommended, according to CL's site, it be taken on off days and before bedtime (I believe in the case of WB)?

[Astro_Gym]

Also, I just started on Green Mag, White Blood and Purple Wrath. Can definitely feel a difference energy and focus-wise after 2 workouts.

Question, what are the advantages and disadvantages to NOT taking the creatine and blood flow enhancer on off-days?

And, is the pump any different or improved with White Flood compared to White Blood? Or, is the pump the same, except that WF simply includes stimulants to further aid focus and energy? I workout at night, and I'm afraid WF might give the jitters and keep me up beyond normal bedtime.

[NinjaZX10R]

Let me just start by saying that I have disliked MOST of GNC's products........but GNC's "Creadrive" powder has really been working well for me. I started with basic creatine monohydrate and then switched to Creadrive when I ran out and I prefer it to plain Creatine mono. Its got 34g carbs plus some sugar and taurine. Over 5 grams creatien mono per serving too and I did the whole buy one get the second 50% off deal. It seems to get me more amped for my workouts and Im happy with my strength gains. Definately gonna stick with this stuff for now.

On a side note, I started stacking it with Isopure 100% Whey Protien Isolate (I switched from ON 100% Whey which I've been happy with until I developed severe lactose intolerance) because its lactose free and since then I've been damn happy with my gains.

[TrueBeliever]

I have tried monohydrate, CE2, Green Mag, and Nos Ether. And I am enjoying the effects of Nos Ether by Get Diesel better than any of those products. Gained some good weight with it (most that stays even after you stop using it), and it also has all the NO in it that you need, no need for another NO product (not that I am a big fan of NO anyway).

[janjo]

Can I take a creatine supplement like SizeOn at the same time I take NanoVapor for pre-workout with Anabolic Halo for post-workout, or is this too much?

[jcchristman]

Has anyone tried micronized creatine from AST?

[Ectotastic]

If White Flood and White Blood facilitate and enhance the pump, why is it recommended, according to CL's site, it be taken on off days and before bedtime (I believe in the case of WB)?

Arginine supplementation is like creatine in that results are best if you consistently supplement with it. Not just Pre-WO. Also, you build during your sleep, and vaso-dilation helps you get more blood (and therefore nutrients) to your muscles.

[CONTROLLED LABS]

for different reasosn. the white blood before bed can help with sleep and hormone regulation

you wont get the maximum effects if you dont take green magnitude everyday. white flood has a similar pump to white blood, but adds the beta alanine for endurance and the stimulants.

[levendis]

hey just wondering if it is okay to use creatine while trying to lose weight?

[Anabolic Adam]

I really do think this will be my next creatine...Question thou..If I get a Pre workout supp that has creatine in it. Taking another creatine product would be a waste right?

No. 10 grams a day the max. Most pre workouts have about 3.5-4 grams in them. So that would put at about the max. Get it for sure! Its great stuff!

[svper2002]

hey just wondering if it is okay to use creatine while trying to lose weight?

I assume you mean cut bodyfat % and yes it is fine. Creatine doesnt make you fat

[fozza]

I'm not taking any creatine supplements at the moment....are they necessary? I'm taking a NO product called NO.KO but i reckon its crap! The hype seems to be around Green Magnesium and White Flood, is it ok to mix these two together pre-workout?

Cheers

[Paul_2_Oh]

The hype seems to be around Green Magnesium and White Flood, is it ok to mix these two together pre-workout?

Absolutely. Mix them together in the same shaker.

When I first started training hard I was a bit skeptical about the apparent 'conflict' between caffeine and creatine battling for receptor proteins in the body, but I can tell you from experience that Magnitude and Flood work tremendous together. I have tried both separate and they work great, but together it's simply phenomenal. Happy lifting!

[GPx]

Odd one out here, but I hate the flavor of Green Mag (Apple). Might have to buy some Green Bulge instead. Any drawbacks from the capsules to the powder?

[xYoungPhenom]

I have to say Prolab's Creatine monohydrate because it is made from german filtered creatine "Creapure". Also I was originally in Arm size 11' but i moved up to 15'. so I gave it a try. It made my arms 18' Friends of mine started saying things like "dam bro your Arms are Huge They look like balloons!"
And truth be told on a triceps pulldown w/o it I was doing anywhere from 150-190lbs. On prolabs I was maxing out my pulldowns for 240(the machines Max) for 5 reps. I felt like an Animal in the gym. My arms were bigger then ever and harder. This is HANDS DOWN THE BEST CREATINE!

The following are the products im thinking of picking up, remember theyre gonna be stacked with super pump and later NO xplode. please comment

no ****s/explosive diarreah like the GNC mono, and it mixes perfectly after a few shakes

[stathis723]

ill try Clout in the near Future, since it is the best for Strength ill give a try to some other brands first then will get into the clout when the Degrees get into the minimum level ( arround december or january ) for better gains

For now what do you guys choose
Storm + Purple wraath
Green mag + Purple wraath

Since is my first time using creatine ill not order a N.O yet, if im loosing Strength then it might be the time for it

[animalifthvything]

I just ordered some AST Micronized Creatine Mono, hoping it'll be my savior as just about all the controlled labs creatine products have given me headaches. Does anyone know which creatine product on the market is probably the least likely to cause headaches?

That's pretty funny!!!
Creatine doesn't cause headaches man! It might be something else stacked with it though. I actually prefer buy the BB.com monohydrate and mixing it myself with dextrose. I save insane amounts of money, the product lasts me months, and i know exactly what's in the product-- so try that RawDawgKing.

What creatine is best for overall preformance; strength, size, ect. i play football and im undecided to either to get regular creatine mono cause the water bloat would help me add weight, but idk about the effectiveness on strength. and on the other side i was thinking of like size-on because ive heard alot of good come out of it in terms of strenth but it doesn't have the bloat. any opinions which way to go?

i just ordered green magnitude tonight hopefully its as good as everyone says, i tried the sample on my last order and loved the taste it tasted like starburst to me.

Does anyone have any information about Glycergrow? I am thinking about stacking it with Purple wraath and Green Magnitude? What are the effects of this product?

Hey guys, this is my first post. I recently tried cell tech and i noticed that it gave me acne bumps. IS this common wit hall creatine monohydrate products? I have been considering taking cell mass, does cell mass produce acne at all? thanks

[bimmermd]

IMHO

Anavol (not Anavol Hardcore because I have never tried that one) by NxCare (NxLabs, same company)

It's the only creatine with 100% absorption (so they say); it has given me the best results in the past when I have experimented with the various forms of creatine. It also has glutamine in it (which helps with recovery), so that's great too.

Anavol is on a time release and that's why it is more bioavailable than other forms of creatine.

In order of absorption (excluding Anavol), with the most absorption first and the least absorption last (of straight creatine monohydrate forms):

Effervescent/Sublingual
Liquid (from a dropper)
Powder
Capsules/Tablets
(all of these as plain creatine monohydrate)

[bimmermd]

Hey guys, this is my first post. I recently tried cell tech and i noticed that it gave me acne bumps. IS this common wit hall creatine monohydrate products? I have been considering taking cell mass, does cell mass produce acne at all? thanks

Hi Crazyquick,

Cell Tech (by Muscletech) is known to give acne, particularly on your back.

Cell Tech helped me to gain some serious mass back in high school, but the results didn’t stay very long. Also it has a massive amount of sugar, and always made my stomach queasy (which I of course ignored). Whatever you do, if you do buy Cell Tech, only buy the Fruit Punch or Grape, because in my opinion, the Lemon Lime and Orange are unbearable. This flavor preference (at least for me) is true for all similar types of products, including Cell Mass by BSN.

For me, Cell Tech was the only form of creatine that gave me back acne, but it was worth it while the results lasted. I recommend Cell Tech, but the things to consider are, the [high] price; that the results, at least for me, did not stay long after going off it; and the massive amount of sugar, which is bad for your teeth, bad for your liver, and also throws off the healthy bacterial flora that keep down levels of candida albicans in your stomach (in other words it surely doesn’t help your stomach be healthy). Also, you must cycle it to be most effective (on two weeks, off a month is one good way to cycle it that I would recommend).

On the other hand, one of the good things about the massive amounts of sugar is that so much sugar helps the creatine (and other ingredients) to be more bioavailable for your system, which is really why it works so well.

Although I recommend it because it works well, I personally no longer take it because now that I am in my 20’s and in college, I am more concerned about the long term effects on my body from using it. You can make your own conclusions from this. I do think it works probably the best of all, but I do not take it because of possible long term negative effects and because I care about my teeth and my liver and such.

I liked Anavol (by NxCare) because it is just creatine on a time release, so instead of forcing its way into your system, it works with your system to be the most bioavailable. Also, Anavol has glutamine, which helps with recovery. There are no other ingredients; and simplicity, in my opinion, is always good, especially if it works.I don’t take any creatine right now, because I drink an occasional coffee (after reading new studies that coffee can actually help you live longer — google it!), and because coffee has antibacterial and antioxidant properties.

I also find that coffee after workouts helps to eliminate the psychological fatigue, or mental drain, that you get after a great workout; although most of the time, since my personal ideal workout time is at night, I just go to sleep afterwards.

You see, caffeine has properties which negate the benefits creatine gives you. I could go into all the adenosine triphosphate description of exactly how this is, but most people either don’t care about the technical aspect, or don’t understand such technicality.

Basically, drinking coffee (or soda or energy drinks with caffeine, or weight loss supplements with caffeine, or anything else with caffeine) makes the creatine not work.

–

Creatine is essential for energy in every human because it is actually part of the molecule that makes every person’s primary energy source, which is ATP. When ATP is used for energy, it is broken down, and the part that goes to waste is called creatinine. Taking creatine monohydrate simply “recycles” your primary energy source (ATP) by adding the missing part (creatine monohydrate) of the broken down energy (ADP), so it can be ATP again.

–

In short, although Cell Tech works and is powerful, it has its advantages and disadvantages. One disadvantage is back acne, which is not a side effect of all forms of creatine. Consuming creatine in general can be beneficial to give you more energy to work out as long as you do not consume any caffeine.

[Coangler]

I really liked the regular anavol, but couldn't find it after anavol hardcore came out. Do they still sell regular anavol anywhere?

[irboreddd]

I used Cell Mass and SizeOn recently. Cell Mass was decent, no acne develops. SizeOn worked very well, but it gave me some acne on my face. I stopped using it because of the water weight I gained.

I just did a quick google search ("anavol"), and I got this:

http://www.vitamindeal.com/nxcare-anavol-180.html

So it appears that at several online marketplaces, they do sell the original Anavol. I wish bodybuilding.com sold it, because I prefer to buy from them. They have always gotten my orders right and always ship quickly; sometimes I get my supplements overnight! (that is from the PA warehouse and I am in MD)

I personally can deal with back acne (to an extent, although annoying) but face acne would be a no-go for me. Thanks for the advice on SizeOn. I use Proactive and get pretty much no acne, so I am happy. I sound like a spokesperson. I'm not lol

Hey i cant thank you enough for writing about it with such detail. I took what u said to heart and greatly appreciate it! yeah i am concerned about the health effects of creatine, mainly i just hope that its not a product that someone can overdose on and drop dead

You can't take creatine with caffeine? What about animal pump and its red pill?

[tellmewhy]

I see a lot of people hyping the Green Mag. I don't know much about health and body building but what I do know is that you shouldn't cut health for "gains". Green Mag has Taurine and Tyrosine in it, both are not healthy and even worse when they are together. This product is more a pre workout pump than a creatine supplement. I dunno, I just felt the need to say this. This forum in general sketches me out because the hype is directly related to whats the front page in the store LINKED to the forum.

I just put my tail between my legs. Put my money where my mouth was and bought some Green Mag to check it out. Its awesome, no head aches from taking it, no bloating. The taste is the best part, it taste like sour apple fun sticks; I wish you could make protein taste like that

[asalways]

What Products did u try so far? Any Creatine or weight gainer with good results?

[CONTROLLED LABS]

Just ordered myself some Green MAGnitude, got a pretty good price so I'm chuffed. First time using a CL product, and first time using a creatine product as well actually, pretty excited for it to arrive now!


I just put my tail between my legs. Put my money where my mouth was and bought some Green Mag to check it out. Its awesome, no head aches from taking it, no bloating. The taste is the best part, it taste like sour apple fun sticks; I wish you could make protein taste like that

thanks for giving us a shot guys, glad you are enjoying it. the effects are great and many on here have said its the best tasting supplement around :)

[Inspired916]

picked up Kre-Alkalyn, ive used 3 other creatine's and this stuff kicks the comps ass!

nice! i'm starting on that tonight.....how many pills you take?

[TruculentTrev]

BSN cell mass is deffinately the best i've tried!

one of the problems with creatine is that you can become bloated as a side effect and therefore loose some deffinition and when you loose abdominal deffinition it can be depressing when you are proud of them!

basic pure creatine by MRM and Higher Power left me a little bloated so i stopped using them and same thing with Muscletech cell tech.

I've used BSN for about 3 months and ive had virtually no signs of storing water on top of my abs or other areas and thats why im about to buy my second tub of it!

[NiteHawk]

You can't take creatine with caffeine? What about animal pump and its red pill?

You can take creatine with caffeine. That is a myth that you cant.

I guess you react differently than others...

sizeon is so far the best, no bloating, no headaches, no cramps!

[onelifetolive]

awesome thread guys :) been reading for a while now and i've pretty much been convinced to load my cart up with WF, PW, GM, and orange triad. been on creakic for about a month and a half now and admittedly im seeing good gains but it seems like everyone is so gunho about this hulk juice that i just have to try it. my question is about ECA, ive been an advocate of it for a while and been on it along with the creakic and am wondering if i should or need ECA stacked on top of WF, PW, GM? I plan to take all these at the same time pre workout as well, is that the best plan of attack?

[jdjprimer19]

I enjoy Controlled Labs products greatly, but if you are tight on cash I highly recommend Higher Power's Micronized Creatine. Simple monohydrate gets the job done. I've gone from 180.2lbs to 184.9lbs in a matter of 8 days.

[wrenb10]

cell tech by MescleTech

[UrbanAU]

Cell Tech without a doubt.

Even after being off of it for months, I see no loss in my body mass or strength. I just started using it again September 1st at 190 pounds. Now at 206working towards my goal of 225 and superior definition. I also keep my wieght when not using Cell Tech.

But I have to admit, my body reacts very well to Cell Tech. I have seen the opposite effect on others.

you will love the stack, keep us posted.

you dont need eca while on the stack, but be sure to cycle off stims for at least a week before starting white flood, especially if you have been on ECA for a long time :)

[onelifetolive]

Ah a week sounds perfect, sounds like the shipment should arrive in around that time frame. sorry if im a little new to the terminology but by stims do you mean the creakic too? And I would still prefer a fat burner in my stack and was recommended reduction by you guys as well. But im seeing a ton of caffeine with both the WF and reduction...

[CaptainScarlet]

I,m using Creakic ,buyed at GNC now i finish my first month.,salesperson at GNC recommend me Amplified Creatine 189(made by GNC) and said is better than Creakic
What did you think?
of course; i'm new here and don't know what is monohydrate creatine..
thanks

[Freebush]

I'm currently having an argument with my friend about creatine use. Are there any long term negative side effects to this product? If so, what?

Thanks...

WHAT IS STIMS!!!!!i truly dont know,and i know everything:)

Maybe short for stimulants:)as that right

[Dedicated37]

Yes, short from "stimulants".

[CONTROLLED LABS]

Maybe short for stimulants:)as that right

correct, like caffiene and theobromine

[cmack777]

I didn't think there was a significant difference in brands of creatine. I use creatine monohydrate from ********. I think it's a Vitamin Shoppe brand. It costs $15. I guess it works pretty well. During the load in phase my size definately improved and so did my strength. Righ now i just take a single dose to maintain.

[Shikaz]

could not find sizeon or cellmass in my country.
which you think guys is better ?
Animal Pump ? or Creatine monohydrate

by the way the supps i use at the moment are
ANimal Pak
Whey Protein
Hydroxycut

i am telling you all the supps so you can tell me which creatine is better for me.

thanks

[palanilopez12]

I have taken different creatines including size on which is suppossed to be great but didnt really work for me...left me feeling bloated and didnt really see results that were all that great...i moved on to green mag and have not looked back since...i am on my third tub now and honestly wonder why i never tried it before after having read everything on here already...definately buy from bb.com store and stack it with WF and PW for a great workout and great results...all you have to do is try it once and you will be hooked like I and so many others are...thanks controlled labs

[Miker619]

Im a cell-tech fan myself, although MT doesn't get much love on these boards. Its high sugar which is a positive for creatine absorption, but a negative because its 75g of sugar. I just find myself watching my sugar intake in my meals when im on it. It has great effects on some people and can react very badly to others which is most likely due to the sugar.

[Antz1980]

"BodyScienece" Micronized Mono seems to be working ok.

[Death Head]

Just buy a tub of regular creatine monohydrate. Its still the best and cheapest. I am currently using American Bodybuilding CreaForce.

agreed, when u first start out for sure. i made crazy gains from taking it a while back. could actually do heavier bicep curls then now, lol.

[Death Head]

Hi Crazyquick,

Cell Tech (by Muscletech) is known to give acne, particularly on your back.

Cell Tech helped me to gain some serious mass back in high school, but the results didn?t stay very long. Also it has a massive amount of sugar, and always made my stomach queasy (which I of course ignored). Whatever you do, if you do buy Cell Tech, only buy the Fruit Punch or Grape, because in my opinion, the Lemon Lime and Orange are unbearable. This flavor preference (at least for me) is true for all similar types of products, including Cell Mass by BSN.

For me, Cell Tech was the only form of creatine that gave me back acne, but it was worth it while the results lasted. I recommend Cell Tech, but the things to consider are, the [high] price; that the results, at least for me, did not stay long after going off it; and the massive amount of sugar, which is bad for your teeth, bad for your liver, and also throws off the healthy bacterial flora that keep down levels of candida albicans in your stomach (in other words it surely doesn?t help your stomach be healthy). Also, you must cycle it to be most effective (on two weeks, off a month is one good way to cycle it that I would recommend).

On the other hand, one of the good things about the massive amounts of sugar is that so much sugar helps the creatine (and other ingredients) to be more bioavailable for your system, which is really why it works so well.

Although I recommend it because it works well, I personally no longer take it because now that I am in my 20?s and in college, I am more concerned about the long term effects on my body from using it. You can make your own conclusions from this. I do think it works probably the best of all, but I do not take it because of possible long term negative effects and because I care about my teeth and my liver and such.

I liked Anavol (by NxCare) because it is just creatine on a time release, so instead of forcing its way into your system, it works with your system to be the most bioavailable. Also, Anavol has glutamine, which helps with recovery. There are no other ingredients; and simplicity, in my opinion, is always good, especially if it works.I don?t take any creatine right now, because I drink an occasional coffee (after reading new studies that coffee can actually help you live longer ? google it!), and because coffee has antibacterial and antioxidant properties.

I also find that coffee after workouts helps to eliminate the psychological fatigue, or mental drain, that you get after a great workout; although most of the time, since my personal ideal workout time is at night, I just go to sleep afterwards.

You see, caffeine has properties which negate the benefits creatine gives you. I could go into all the adenosine triphosphate description of exactly how this is, but most people either don?t care about the technical aspect, or don?t understand such technicality.

Basically, drinking coffee (or soda or energy drinks with caffeine, or weight loss supplements with caffeine, or anything else with caffeine) makes the creatine not work.

?

Creatine is essential for energy in every human because it is actually part of the molecule that makes every person?s primary energy source, which is ATP. When ATP is used for energy, it is broken down, and the part that goes to waste is called creatinine. Taking creatine monohydrate simply ?recycles? your primary energy source (ATP) by adding the missing part (creatine monohydrate) of the broken down energy (ADP), so it can be ATP again.

?

In short, although Cell Tech works and is powerful, it has its advantages and disadvantages. One disadvantage is back acne, which is not a side effect of all forms of creatine. Consuming creatine in general can be beneficial to give you more energy to work out as long as you do not consume any caffeine.

i've never that u can't take creatine and caffeine at the same time. that would mean that almost every pre-workout drink is a huge scam!!

[Valenzuelatech]

Creatine Monohydrate. (creapure)

its cheap and absorbs well. creatine is a very simple compound. why is everyone spending money like crazy on expensive formulas?! put that money to good use and get some steak!

as for taking it, just mix it with water, yes water.. juice may make it absorb faster..but FASTER does not nessasarily mean BETTER!

be sure to drink it as soon as you mix it with water and ther ya go, 2.5 grams pre and post workout, no need to load or cycle. simple.

try Universal's creatine monohydrate, it contains German grade creapure

[Douger807]

Well, been browsing this site for awhile but I think I am finally going to start posting...anyways...

Creatine Mono (Higher Power) is what works for me. I just take a tsp (~5 grams) drop it in my mouth and take a swig of water. I have always taken my creatine like that and it has always worked.

[CONTROLLED LABS]

awesome to hear. you just cant go wrong with green mag. for effects, taste and value there is nothing close to it, and we offer free samples through bb.com :)

[franktheweapon]

vitamin shoppe brand Monohydrate :)

[Shikaz]

i tried MMUSA ATP Creatine Serum and for me it did NOTHING big NOTHING !!
i know its a page for the best creatine but i have nothing to share than the worst creatine till now.

in my area i could not find any sizeon or green mag so i am going to creatine monohydrate by optimum nutrition. what do you think guys?

also i heard that tricreatine and micronized they absorb more.

but i only found that. and i will later shop from bb.com but for now i want to buy something very soon.

what do you think??!?!??1

I think its bloody genius! as long as you drink alot of water after you wash it down, there shouldnt be any absorption problems

[justdoit08]

always a great choice

you will love it. the effects match the great taste :)

its a great value and very effective as a cell volumizer. take plenty of water with it and there shouldnt be any side effects


i just recievedmy green mag today and will start taking it tommrow but it says for first time take half scoop instead of 1 scoop shall i do that or take the whole 1 scoop on the first day?

and then after that ill be working out 4 times a week so ill be taking it 4 days a week and leaving the rest 3 days out right?

[paganman]

I started with one scoop, but I've taken creatine (monohydrate) for a while now.

Take GM every day.

[jackie chan]

what about EAS phospagen?
I will try it without loading and keep it on 10 g per day.What do you think?
And what is bette to drink it with watter or juice or gainer?Or it doesnt matters?I heard that for example gainer can ruin the quality and therfore efect of it.

Creatine uptake into skeletal muscle is facilitated by insulin signaling pathways, which is why it's recommended to be taken with simple glucose (to induce an insulin spike). I think grape juice is generally highly recommended, although I can't understand why grape juice is better than any other sugar-containing juice.

[jddagr]

Cellmass, hard solid gains, low sugar. Love it

yeah i think juice is good choice.And what about dosages? for 198lbs body weight is 10 grams per day enough?I think that more is not necessery for body.And what are the best times to take it? .I am just having stupid questions :) its my first creatine and the goal is to get from 330lbs bench to 352lbs , so i want it to work correctly:)

10 grams is probably fine. When I was taking creatine mono, I loaded with 15 grams for 5 days, then 5 grams daily maintenance. But I've heard that 5-10 grams daily is generally acceptable.


As for the time: I generally added mine to my post workout protein shake. On non workout days, I took it first thing in the morning.

yea its good to have about 30 minutes before workout and right after. so split the doses. and don't mix it with any type of acidy liquid. but green mag and anabolic switch worked for me. however green mag taste wise to anabolic switch is like cotton candy to a lemons ass. I wanna try size on. any thoughts?

[kbismadkool]

Hey guys, this is my first post. I recently tried cell tech and i noticed that it gave me acne bumps. IS this common wit hall creatine monohydrate products? I have been considering taking cell mass, does cell mass produce acne at all? thanks

start with a half scoop the first day, then go up to 1 scoop the second day and each day thereafter.

you should take a scoop on off days as well

If I could choose just ONE i'd go with either MRI's CEE (havn't tried hi-def yet). I had really good results from it! But I'm also close to choosing just plain creatine mono... hmm....

[theone787]

i'm a huge fun now of neovar recomped....i started it over a week ago and it's by far the best creatine supp. i've used. i've used creatine mono for years and did two rounds of size on(which i had no serious results from) and neovar blows them out of the water imo

[justdoit08]

just a quick question, i recieved my green magnitude today and was sealed all fine but the powder seems abit off and smells abit off? is it beause its been kept in wrong storage conditions or is it green mag in its normal form lol because im confused, also tastes like sour lemon n lime then apple or is that just me lol

[fozza]

My friend has some creatine mono but says he wont take it because its too much effort to take it throughout the day in 5g servings. He also said it makes him cramp up when he runs?

Can you just take creatine once on your off days and before your workouts?

[CONTROLLED LABS]

did you get the lemonade flavor?

lol ye thats true but you know when you just smell abit of offness in a product thats what im feeling and no its sour apple but tastes nowhere near sour apple lol and as i said more like lime or lemon

[IronMan9201]

i will have in some days PW and GM lemonades.. how do they taste and how much water do you recommend for a good taste? even though it changes wich each person..

purple wraath doesn't taste good at first. it's kind of a weird, off flavor like all intra workout amino products. but i got used to it a week or so in and i like it now. also it lasts forever. and green mag tasts good but for me i had to be in the mood for the tangy taste to enjoy it. sometimes i just scooped it into my mouth followed by some water. i liked the taste of it that way better lol. and just follow the instructions for green mag but purple wraath i think tastes better with a little less water.

[fozza]

Which for pure creatine?

SizeOn
Green Mag.
Storm
Prolab Creatine Mono

and also creatine take on training days only? or even off days?

Yeah mate from what i know you gotta first do a loading phase for about 5 days, so you take about 25g of creatine daily but split it up into 5g servings through out the day. Then after that you can take a full serving before your workout, and also on your off days in the morning which a lot of people do.

Dont quote me on that though!

And for chosing a pure creatine the general consensus is that creatine monohydrate is king. Not saying the others such as Green Mag arent good but i reckon you'd be paying a bit extra because of a fancy name.

[spartan19]

size on,is it true that Australian supplements are way weaker than Americans because of the legal ingrediant restrictions?

[AYB]

i jjust piked up a bottle of kreaklyne il let u no how that goes

[CONTROLLED LABS]

i will have in some days PW and GM lemonades.. how do they taste and how much water do you recommend for a good taste? even though it changes wich each person..

you will love purple wraath and green magnitude. green mag with 6-8 ounces of water if you like it sweet/tart, more if you like it more mild.

purple wraath with 20 ounces of ice cold water per scoop.

[RwR72]

My Green MAGnitude finally arrived this morning. Was looking forward to tasting it all day long (didn't have time this morning) and MY WORD this is fcuking delicious! It's too early for me to comment on the benefits/results that this product has/will bring to the table, but solely based on taste this stuff is amazing.

[Animal76]

creatine is creatine. Creatine Monohydrate is all you need. One product is not more effective than another and different forms of creatine are also not more effective. The only thing is to consider with creatine is unit cost.
The only thing that makes a creatine product better than another is the stack of other ingredients in the product than cause a synergistic effect (for example, vasocharge which also has arginine, beta alanine, b-vitamins, caffeine, etc)


If you had to pick just ONE creatine product, what would be the best one for the best results?

Please pick a product and include the brand. Give your reasons. The best answers will be displayed on the main Bodybuilding.com site for millions of people to see!

(Note: This is not a discussion about how or when to take creatine, if creatine works, or why some creatines do not work. Just list your absolute favorite creatine product and give your detailed reason.)

Its decent. I like green mag a little better though.

I use Cell-Tech Hardcore. I see it gets alot of negative feedback on the forums, but I think for bulking periods it is pretty good. People complain about the "sugar", but I assume they just don't know what they are talking about with respect to insulin spike and type of Carbs in it.

I think when using things like Cell-Tech and BSN Cell-Mass you must know your body pretty well and diet to effectively include them into your supplementation.

I believe it has been effective in helping me obtain mass and stay relatively lean simultaneously.

nobody here's bashing it for the sugar, it's just the fact that they make it so expensive when most of it is dextrose which is veeeeery cheap... and let's be honest they spend on advertising more then they do on making their supps... take a look at their top sellers... for instance cell tech is advertised with words like ' Nanomolecular Hyperdispersion Technology ' when most of it is just dextrose and 10g of creatine (most of it mono, since it's cheap)...

you draw the conclusions yourself

My Green MAGnitude finally arrived this morning. Was looking forward to tasting it all day long (didn't have time this morning) and MY WORD this is fcuking delicious! It's too early for me to comment on the benefits/results that this product has/will bring to the table, but solely based on taste this stuff is amazing.

seriously, people on this very board have called it the best tasting supplement around, period :)

I'm going to go out and get some Green Mag tomorrow, but when do you guys recommend taking it? Pre or Post workout?

preworkout for sure. also, on off days make green mag popsicles or slushies, they are damn good :)

[Ninjazn]

Just 1 scoop a day, correct?

With the weather starting to warm up here in Australia that's a damn good idea. Green MAGnitude is definitely a quality product and I've been on it for about two months now. Tastes pretty sweet to, although usually I mix it with White Flood (nitric oxide) pre-workout. The only thing is that the Australian dollar has fallen over 40% which now makes it super expensive buying from bodybuilding.com, so I may not be able to afford CL products in the future as they are hardly stocked in Australia.

I've never seen or heard of GNC before...

Edit: found a store on eBay who stocks CL.

GM is the best creatine I've ever taken, period. I'm just back into it but way back in the day I took Phosphagen HP and it was the other good one. The rest have been mediocre.

As far as taste goes, I'd drink green apple Green Mag with my food if it wouldn't break the bank. =oP

[_diamond_]

Haj guys... Can anyone tell me what is the different and which is better?

[healthfreek]

I've found that you don't have to buy the big brand names of creatine. If you go into GNC or Vitamin World where all the big brands are sold you can get the stores own products much less and with benifits. Not to mention they don't break the bank! I've been using creatine for years and find I get great results with store brands. Although If there is one brand that totally surpasses all I would really like to know about it.
