Best Overall Creatine Product?

[thebigdeal242]

MONOHYDRATE! i wont use a bsn product because of the container it comes in. if you dont know what im talkin about you shouldnt be using supps.also try twinlabs creatine fuel

[tennisrox24]

EAS Phosphagen HP

[yodadude16]

EAS Phosphagen HP

thats what im currently on..hows it working for you?

[itzfrank]

i don't think there's any powder form of creatine that hasn't given me extended bathroom breaks. I used cellmass and got the runs so bad that I quirted on myself during squats day.

[anarchyb52]

Hell yeah repping the twin labs stack thats what im on too

it stacks great with my protein shake which has 8g of glutamine in it so 10g total between the 2

[IrishMuscle99]

Anyone here try anabolic halo?

[Sassyboi]

Higher power micronized creatine is all good! ive tried cell tech, wasnt bad. Big servings though, but after punishing it back it made you feel like archilles

[drewsuf]

I know this question has probably been asked a million times but what are the general differences between Creatine Monohydrate and Ethel Ester etc. and effects on the body?

[Coby481]

I just got a really cool ebook on creatine and was wondering if anyone wanted me to share it with them. It tells you the basics of creatine, its structure, what it does in your body, and how to take it.
If your interested just email me at coby_douglas@yahoo.com

[bayern bt]

Cellmass has been working great for me. I've been using it for the past month and a half and have noticed a huge improvement. It also tastes great and goes down well.

[gregorious]

I don't see any reviews for Higher Power CE3 Creatine Ethyl Ester Caps , so I bought a pack and am starting to use it today . It'll be my first Creatine ever so we'll see how it goes. I'll report back w/ a review

[MGMBIGDOG]

MONOHYDRATE! i wont use a bsn product because of the container it comes in. if you dont know what im talkin about you shouldnt be using supps.also try twinlabs creatine fuel

guess I should just quit now cause I am sold on BSN celmass and no explode.
I went from benching 225 3 time to 10 times in 3 weeks. I know my ma had moved but I have not gone past 265. I am looking for 300 soon. Peace brother

[MGMBIGDOG]

Anyone here try anabolic halo?

If you do try please post your opinion

[yodadude16]

Anyone here try anabolic halo?

yea...i tried it for a 3 month cycle...it isnt worth it

[TLUTT]

monohyrdate is the most effective proven creatine out

Hey Matty I was wondering if you have ever taken the Epistane and what your results were like.

[WS6Jayson]

NO-Xplode and Cellmass have worked pretty good for me. I was thinking about starting the full mass stack. Any opinions on its performance?


When I was 16-17 I would cycle stacks of NO Explode, Nitrix, and Cellmass.

This, along with eating healthy and working out vigorously and being very disciplined....did I experience awesome gains. I was decline benching 230.

I went from 6'1" 175 lbs to 6'1" about 190 lbs in about 8 months....then maintained that weight until i went to college....heh

[jebbers]

i have been using kre-alkalyn for about a 3 weeks now and it is amazing, i went from benchin 235 once, when we maxd out for football to 5 times a couple days ago

[unc_wannabe]

Can you take Cellmass alone?

[yodadude16]

Can you take Cellmass alone?

duh...all it is is a post workout supplement. Just take it as soon as your done working out...then i think you take it 6-8 hours before or after that serving.

[email_mikel]

I agree with you on getting more opinions from some of the guys that have tried different brands and can compare for us. You would think this thread would be a little longer...

Cellmass, I don't have an opinion on from personal use but from what I've noticed its very pricey for the amount per serving compared to its competition. Celltech I would just stay away from, you could just buy a cheap mono and probably have the same results.

I'm also curious about the regular mono vs. the cee, anyone have any more suggestions on this? I've been on Cellmass before and I wasn't impressed with the results(size and strength gains were minimal but recovery time improved and it tasted great)
I've never used Celltech but I've heard mixed reviews, some say "too much sugar", which is true 75 grams/serving (It's for an insulin spike for better absorption) but the weight gains you get from CellTech might be from the extra sugar and calories you take in and not from the creatine.
I think it's best just to stick to a MONO creatine or I like Contolled Labs Green MAGnitude. I've only been using it for a couple of weeks but I already noticed more results than I did with CellMass and it's a great value!!

GreenMAG 80 servings/$35-40
CellMass 60 servings/$45-50 (and you have to use twice a day)
CellTech 30 servings/$45-55


Green MAG all the way!!!!

[tulsa_ej2]

i have been on cell-tech for a while and have only noticed more veins, and a nicer cut, but only 3 pounds gain after two weeks, and **** is so expensive, so im going to intensify my workouts and try optimum pure creatine, its 15 bucks and has way more servings than even the bigger cell-mass

[BHSbeast]

Which one is better for lots of gains
kre-alk
cell mass
size on


can u just take size on alone or do u have to stack it wit superpump250

[Corrections243]

Does superpump 250 have creatine in it? I saw superpump mentioned a couple times in this thread which is for creatine right? Just curious because I wanted to try superpump 250 anyways, but I don't want to buy creatine too if it's already in it.

[7:360]

What happened to bulk creatine mono and grape juice? Does anyone still do this? I'm looking forward to my next creatine cycle so I can gain 50 lbs. of muscle.

J/K :)

[BHSbeast]

somebody just awnser wats better
kre-alk
cell mass
size on

[CWM7171979]

somebody just awnser wats better
kre-alk
cell mass
size on

I can't answer you for sure because I never used cellmass or kre-alk, but I can tell you that SizeOn is a great product. I definitely recommend you buying a bottle. Just make sure to be drinking plenty of water.

[Mahone]

I have to agree with Kill Em All - Micronized Creatine Monohydrate by AST Sports Science is the way to go. I Used Cell-Tech for a while and saw some gains while I was on it, but the huge amount of sugar was really hard on my digestive system and I lost most of the size gains when I went off it. I think the weight gained from it mostly water weight. Creatine is best absorbed when taken with carbs and protein so I generally mix about 5g of the micronized monohydrate with my post workout shake. I did just recently start on micronized version so I will update this in 2 weeks and let everyone know if I find it more effective than standard monohydrate.

[tunasalad1]

SizeOn is the way to go. I use the tabs cause I take them in the morning and thats it, no mix no shaking and I'm not too full so I can take my post protein shake. Definite size/strength increases.

[G0re0bsessed]

I'm looking forward to my next creatine cycle so I can gain 50 lbs. of muscle.

J/K :)

lol

I've tried creatine mono w/juice and Size ON. Size ON is amazing.

[PLANETGETLOW]

lol

I've tried creatine mono w/juice and Size ON. Size ON is amazing.

Size On isn't a mono though correct? You also have to take a "scoop" rather than a spoonful right?

[PLANETGETLOW]

Anybody have any thoughts or experience from this?

http://bodybuilding.com/store/hp/creatine.html

[AtomicNumber26]

Good old creatine mono mixed with Gatorade powder for the dextrose. Cheap and effective.

Anybody?

If you would like creatine monohydrate i would suggest
http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/pl/creatine.html

Sizeon is also a very good creatine but can be very expensive. I would also check out green magnitude by controlled labs it is cheap and effective if you did not want creatine mono.

[BHSbeast]

is sci fit kre alk 1500 any good???

[wtfmate08]

Anybody?

Yeah I have it its great. But only make your decision for micronized creatine/creapure (same things really) based on price. Micro creatine is micro creatine is micro creatine.

[Downundathunder]

NANO Creatine

[Hostage]

somebody just awnser wats better
kre-alk
cell mass
size on

I can tell you which one NOT to take....and that would be kre-alk, didn't do a damn thing. Don't waste your money.

Cell mass worked great for me...but I cannot comment about size on as I have not tried it yet. As for taste....cell mass was easily the best tasting supplement I have ever had.

I would like to try size on, but I know if I buy cell mass again I would not be wasting my money.

[chicagoamfm]

yea...i tried it for a 3 month cycle...it isnt worth it


Why not, and what is it do exactly, and don't just say take your money and the only thing getting skinnier is your wallet. What exactly is it designed for too?

[bearjibber]

is sci fit kre alk 1500 any good???

Kre-Alk is the best creatine out there. I've been taking it for about 2.5 weeks now and have gained about 4 pounds of muscle, no bloating whatsoever. Make sure to take in a lot of protein for best results.

[yodadude16]

Why not, and what is it do exactly, and don't just say take your money and the only thing getting skinnier is your wallet. What exactly is it designed for too?

Read the label...im not a Muscletch rep. What ever its supposed to do didnt happen because nothing happened besides a tiny-bit better recovery, and i think they were going for size and strength like most other companies. And if i wanted recovery, Id go with cellmass, something that i know works.

[AmericanPsycho]

Has anybody been able to keep any of their SizeOn size once they cycled off?

[Deviant Dingo]

Has anybody been able to keep any of their SizeOn size once they cycled off?

This is a joke right?

[ILPump]

Has anybody been able to keep any of their SizeOn size once they cycled off?

I think he's refering to losing the water weight you gain from sizeON. I think sizeON is probably the best overall creatine product as you get a mixture of a very good creatine combined with a fast acting carb and glycerol monostearate. You should be able to keep any size you get with sizeON, its not going to be anything dramatic. I do notice that the glycerol monostereate helps to improve my strength. Anyone else notice this?

[AmericanPsycho]

^^^Thank you. What I meant exactly.

[vDa]

Animal Pump.

Gained about 7lb of muscle, gained 40+lb on bench (after my 2nd bottle/cycle) and overall a great product. The only downside that I experienced was the loss of some strength after I ran out, but it came back in a few weeks.

animal pump is an amazing product... defintitely gives sizeON a run for its money!

[*Felix*]

so without reading through 60 pages of opinions, what is the best creatine?

[AmericanPsycho]

There's no one right answer, but the majority of people will probably say SizeOn & GreenMag I think

[yodadude16]

Agreed and rightfully so. A more fair comparison would be green mag and glycergrow & sizeON

[Lardasss]

six star sugar**** from wal-mart thats what I use , its poor man creatine, but you get a good kick from it and a nice bloat,,lol

[03SVT_COBRA]

How does ProLab Monohydrate rate among some the these other "super" creatine's?

I don't exactly have the money for some of these creatines.

[Deviant Dingo]

^^^Thank you. What I meant exactly.

Didnt mean to come off brash. But the way you phrased it sounded like you were talking about AAS. For one you certainly dont need to cycle creatine, secondly you would never lose any gains aided by a creatine product any more so than you would if you werent using it.... its just creatine, probably makes 5% difference at a guess.

[gregorious]

My Higher Power CE3 Creatine Ethyl Ester makes me feel a little bit drunk / light headed after taking only 3 pills ( bottle suggests 4 ) and with plenty of water .

Has anyone ever experienced this with Creatine ? This product gives me zero kick and zero energy boost .

And its also going to give you zero results. Ethyl ester sucks in my opinion, zero results from it with the exception of maybe PLACEBO

It's one of the most popular creatines ever. You don't need a creatine matrix/blend. You can just add Prolab's Creatine to your PWO shake.

[zeebodybuilder]

its my 7th day using it and i can see size in mass. this is MAN CLOUT.

[sl4nd3r]

I don't get why so many people are all about SizeON, I just finished my first tub of it a couple nights ago and I didn't really see anything special about it. I lift hard and heavy, take my protein and weight gainer, and see the same results(good) whether I use the sizeON or not. I'm going to order some Anavol Hardcore and see how that works.

[GetBigger264]

Sci Fit Kre-Alkalyn, great endurance and strength gains

[kennejp]

I just bought some greenMag cause everyone seems to love it so I will let you know how I like it....

[sl4nd3r]

Has anyone tried MuscleTech naNO Vapor? I've been reading some articles on it and it seems like it'd be awesome, but I haven't seen anything here of anyone actually taking it. I"m about to make a purchase at the bb.com store, and I dunno whether to go with nano vapor or anavol hardcore.

[cizeon]

i believe universal storm and shock therapy is a wonderful combination.

i am currently on vapor...and i can tell you the n.o. xplode is so much better in all aspects...i dont recommend vapo unless all you want is caffeine

[boxmeman]

MST's Ragnarok is my personal fave!

[TangoandCash]

I've started using Dymatize Nutrition Micronized Creatine 1.1 kilo for $21.99.

No stomach upset, mixes well, no "GRITTY" taste at all, and mixed with some Gatorade powder (lemon-lime) it's like it is not even there.

As for gains:
Been on it for 2 weeks 5grams per serving once a day with no loading dose.
Bench up 15 pounds, squat 20 lbs, and cleans 15pounds. Less fatigue and quicker recovery.

I use Shock Therapy as well for an extra energy boost, but that's another topic.

[CALI-BORN]

I have tried Size On and it worked very well. I actually did one cycle and had great results.

[MMG23]

Did you notice the reformulation of N O explode? Crazy that it took so long for people to realize it's just sugar and monohydrate and go after them legally. I think poop on a stick would improve your training better than this crap.

wanna buy mine....i've only used 4 scoops and the beta-alanine tingle is too much for me, i'll sell it for 23.99 and that includes priority mail shipping, i have paypal, let me know.

[SupaFly78]

is sci fit kre alk 1500 any good???

yeah it's awesome, i recommend the powder though instead of the caps, more cost effective

[jesusmoreno]

GreenMag...are the flavors any good? If so,which flavor is better lemonade or sour apple??

[replay_kendo]

I'm using Higher Power Kre-Alkalyn at the moment. I do noticed that I'm getting somewhat stronger. Nothing special though.

[stullsy]

body fortress creatine drink b/c its cheap and it works just as good as all the other ****

[patsfan127]

naNO all the way

[Paradoxical_Nihilism]

i use naNO pre-workout (assuming you mean the muscletech product), but i still need something post-workout and for non-workout days, im not gonna be hyped up on vapor all the time :)

[mawwkkky]

alot of people say cell mass, green mag, and size on are probably the best but out of these which has less bloat effect?

[Aes_RocK]

there is no "no bloat creatine" because creatine's desired effect is for your muscles to retain water... buying a no bloat creatine is a waste of money... just a bunch of white chalk powder....

[yodadude16]

alot of people say cell mass, green mag, and size on are probably the best but out of these which has less bloat effect?

i didnt notice any bloat with cellmass like i did with any regular creatine monohydrate

[patsfan127]

you don't want your muscles to retain water because then when you cycle it (like you should with every creatine product) your muscles will "shrink" because you are losing the water weight. What you want creatine to do is to allow for a longer energy cycle in your muscles allowing you to lift at your max strength for a longer period of time duh.

[br4v0]

I've heard from CL reps that Green Mag doesn't bloat u

on another note, anybody tried Con-Crete?

[Fadil]

siZe On...best supplement and best creatine i have ever taken!

[email_mikel]

GreenMag...are the flavors any good? If so,which flavor is better lemonade or sour apple??

Both taste Ok nothing spectacular, I like sour apple better.

[Warrior9]

i reallly liked and seen a lot of size gains from creakic, i only used it for 15 days but my muscles hardened and i have gone up in almost all of my lifts. I really liked creakic

[richc]

you don't want your muscles to retain water because then when you cycle it (like you should with every creatine product) your muscles will "shrink" because you are losing the water weight. What you want creatine to do is to allow for a longer energy cycle in your muscles allowing you to lift at your max strength for a longer period of time duh.

there are two types of bloat people refer to, stomach bloat and muscle bloat, stomach bloat is bad, this means the creatine is drawing water into your stomach where it is no good, muscle bloat on the other hand is a good thing, among other things part of creatine's job is to super hydrate the muscle which gives it a mechanical advantage (makes it stronger), of course you will lose some size when you cycle off, this is normal, but you will reatain whatever amount of lean mass you have built while on the supp. (net gain)

i have put on 24, pounds during my current bulking phase this is of course part water, so i wouldnt tell anyone that i have packed on 24 pounds of muscle, i am now going to cycle off and whatever additional weight i have above the weight before i started the creatine supp is my actual (net) gain.

DUH!

[patsfan127]

i thought you were actually talking about having that water weight be good and make you look bigger without ever cycling it sorry

[Khromosone]

By cycle do you mean like, taking it for a certain period, then not using it for another period?

[richc]

By cycle do you mean like, taking it for a certain period, then not using it for another period?

yes that is what cycling means.

patsfan127-
to each his own but i dont see the point in "looking" bigger if it is simply water weight, i like my size to be strictly lean dense muscle, so i use creatine along with other supps to give me a little edge in the gym so i can work out harder and build more lean mass and not simply look bigger but actually be bigger. but like i said, to each his own, we all work out with our own goals in mind.

[winthorpe]

Dymatize Nutrition Micronized Creatine.

Cheap and effective. Keep your sugars and such.

[CONTROLLED LABS]

GreenMag...are the flavors any good? If so,which flavor is better lemonade or sour apple??
you cant go wrong either way, they both taste like pure candy :)

I've heard from CL reps that Green Mag doesn't bloat u

on another note, anybody tried Con-Crete?

yup, bloat free

[VTR]

how would you rate this one

[theweakestlink]

So one of the workers at GNC mentioned that the capsules of creatine absorb much better than the powder (he pulled some 90% number out of his @$$). Although, I have read nothing about this, anywhere. I said, then why do they continue to make the powder? He replied that people haven't caught on yet and pills are the new wave, something to that effect. Is there any merit in what he is saying? I don't buy it.

[SupaFly78]

never heard of it, but the only products with creatine ethyl ester i'd recommend are torrent and omega thunder.

[gazbag007]

Cell Mass by BSN. I generally don't like BSN's **** like N.O.Xplode or Nitrix, but cel mass did get me a lot stronger even though it is pricey. And both the punch and grape flavors taste awesome.

Hey guys could you help me out a bit here my friend has quite the gym through to breaking his leg, he gave me No explode, Cellmass, and Zeus. Could i take the three of these together? am just starting out at the gym am 180lbs and slim tonned but want to get some serious mass before summer in a few months, my diet is good getting plenty cal and 300g protien every day and good fats. any help with this would be amazing thanks again G

No sorry, haven't heard of that and it is complete bull****. The body needs to break anything it's going to absorb into very small parts to pass through the small intestine wall. Powders are already made up of small particles so they don't need to be broken down as many times before the parts are small enough to be absorbed. So capsule creatine just will take longer to digest and thus be harder to time properly with your post-workout carbohydrates. If it's caplet form it's even funnier. Since all caplets are is powder inside a fast disolving "case".

[LeX_Da_KiD]

would it be good to use Animal Pump pre-workout and Green MAG post-workout?

[Bowtiejeep]

take as much creatine in as you can lex. Take your animal pump with half a dose of creatine, then after you workout eat a meal. Then squeeze in some more creatine. Drink plenty of fluids.

Im having trouble deciding what creatine to buy... its between Cell-tech, size-on, expand, or xyience...

[CALI-BORN]

Size On is the way to go. I have used it and loved it. I have also tried xyience and it gave me great focus and energy but I did not really approve of the muscle mass it had given me, plus it is pretty expensive.

NANO-CREATINE vs MICRONIZED CREATINE



'A Scientific breakthrough making micronized creatine a thing of the past'

Setting new standards in the sports nutrition industry.

?100% Solubility
?100% Crystal Clear
?100% No Stomach Upset
?100% No Gritty Residue
?1250% Greater Particle Surface area than Micronized Creatine
?99.9% Pure Pharmaceutical Grade HPLC Tested NANO-Creatine


NANO-Creatine is made using a process ASN have developed called ?NANO Technology - a revolutionary technology that takes nutritional and sports supplements to the next level.

Absorbs Faster

The smaller the particles of any substance, the easier it is to be absorbed. Your skin, digestive tract and under your tongue contain membranes that are selective in what they let through. Acting like tiny filters, only the smallest of particles will be absorbed straight away. NANO Technology allows this to happen. Quicker digestion and faster utilization is a certainty with ASN?s NEW revolutionizing NANO-Creatine.

Use 1/2 as much as Micronized Creatine

With NANO Creatine because of its small particle size you get 100% bio-availability with no side effects! 100% of the NANO Creatine you take will be absorbed into your body. That?s to say if you spend $80 for 500g of NANO Creatine, 500g will be absorbed and utilised by your body. More than double the amount when compared to 2kg of the standard variety. NANO Creatine is more efficient, of higher purity and more cost effective when it comes to comparing it with Micronized Creatine.

Trying to get round them all slowly but surely but my favourite creatine so far is cell tech.

[AntM1564]

What would you guys suggest to purchase out of these?

Storm
Horsepower
Ragnarok
MAN Clout

Also do all of these have enough creatine or would I need to stack them with regular mono?

[xxno1xx]

What is the best creatine for the price???? never used creatine before..herd it works and want to try it to help me get ripped
im willing to spend more on a certain supplement if its worth the price

[MC-waz]

Check out the ASN website and have a good read about their creatine and other products. I use their product and couldn't be happier. No gimmicks, no multi million dollar advertising campaigns, just results!

[WillGetBig1Day]

what type of creatine will not give the bloating feel?
I used to take phosphagen creatine mono. years ago and it worked great. However, I bought it again & began using it again last week and it just screwed up my stomach big time. I had to stop using it b/c I was having diarhrea nonstop.
Any recommendations on creatine that's easy on the stomach and will get me results would be great!

[MC-waz]

Check out
http://www.asn-nutrition.com/nanocreatine.htm

I am in no way advertising, but it's an interesting read and makes a lot of sense. I know from trying this creatine that you will have no stomach troubles, although I prefer to use HPC from ASN.

[Cainepolo12]

I still stand by BSN's NO Xplode and Cellmass. They always worked for me. It doesn't look like they are very popular anymore. Anyone used these and switched to the SizeOn products. Why are they better? I am just starting to work out again.

What about creatine ethyl ester?
Cell-tech?

[SDC77]

There are countless reputable brands of creatine. I wouldn't get cheap walmart stuff, but the main manufacturers are pretty much the same.

[IntellectMusc]

i've been using this walmart bought monohydrate by body fortess works just fine, runs right through me tho. blowin mud everywhere haha!

Size on Vs Bsn Cellmass which is better

Bsn products still in the top 10 on BB.com , but why are everyone talking about Size on, anyone any advice

ive taken cellmass and highly recommend it. and i really want to try size on cuz ive heard good things about it. so really either one would be a great product to try. but imo, you cant go wrong with cellmass.

[Crunk76]

ive tried NO explode twice and i get a great boost going to the gym after work.

Size on is great too, ive been on it now for a month, but i miss the energy from NO explode... would it be safe to mix them together?

[Cole673]

ok rite now im using the Muscle AsylumProject O.D. creatine it works pretty good and i use GNC's brand of protein i am sticking w/ it but once i run outta the M.A.P. i am either buying the Muscletech Hardcore Fruit Punch creatine or the BSN Cell Mass and i wanted to know which one i should get?Also i was gonna gonna make sure the way i am takin everything is alrite. ok i take the protein before i work out and the creatine rite after. and i only take it when i work out.everything sound right?

ive tried both celltech and cellmass, celltech bloats my stomach and cellmass gave me strength/ size gains with an awesome recovery rate. and cellmass has a much more reasonable amount of creatine in it vs the 10 grams in celltech that doesnt do anything. cellmass is 3 grams twice a day....but now im not sure cuz they just released their new creatine blend so u might wanna check that out on their site or something.

[metalmessiah]

Monohydrate always worked well for me, whatever brand is on sale at the time. But, has anyone tried LG Sciences Cold Fusion EX yet? It has multiple forms of creatine, multiple forms of NO, and is supposed to taste great. I would like to know.

[fitman84]

What do you think about All American EFX Kre-Alkalyn EFX? I have used No-xplode and I love that product. I was thinking in add a couple caps of kre-alkalyn with NO-Xplode.

[gmwizard]

CELLMASS has made great progress for me, started lifting on december 3rd, '07 and could barley steady 135 for a few reps and now currently lifting 225 for 7-9 rep sets on flat bench. going to start stacking with n.o. xplode after my 4 week off cycle.

[ILPump]

You guys do know that cellmass has been completely reformulated right? Completely different creatine blend now.

[CarolinarREDS21]

Ive read some good reviews from both Higher Power Micronized Creatine and AST Micronized Creatine. Both have good prices and seem effective. What do yall think is a better product?

I've taken AST in the past, worked great for me. Fell off track for a while when I ran out, then recently decided to try sp250 with size-on. Been on it for a few weeks but I'm not feeling anything from it. I think I'm going back to AST in a week or so when I use up these containers.

[Christophela]

I have tried Creatine monohydrate before from two different companies, and saw no gains! I Read Cellmass description and decided to buy it.
After just 2 weeks using it i have put on 5lbs and I am truly amazed by what i am seeing in the mirror!
Cellmass is a creatine ethyl ester but for me it worked! Cellmass states that it will work for people who have had no effect using previous creatines, which it did for me, obviously as with all creatines alot of water must be consumed during the day but with cellmass there is no need to take simple sugars with it as you do with other creatines so that they can pentrate muscles, cellmass already has a delivery system so its less hassle!
Also if drank before bedtime it helps keep the body anabolic!
In Conclusion cellmass helped me:
1, gain mass and muscle density
2, Increased my strength in the gym and i can squeeze a few more reps
3, helps me maintain an anabolic state while sleeping
4, And finaly it broke through my non responsiveness to creatine!
#1 product IMO!!!

[Dedicated37]

I really like SizeOn by Gaspari Nutrition, it works for me. My next creatine product after my tub of SO is gone I'm going to pickup some Purple-K and see how that goes...

[OakExpress]

I've tried several products, but my favorites are:

LaBrada CreaLean - this is a monohydrate formula and is a very high grade product. By far the best I've used. Currently I add a scoop of this to my LaBrada Lean Body Shake (post-workout).

Vitargo CGL - this product combines wazy maize carbohydrate with creatine monohydrate. I like it after my workout.

[Syphon5]

Read good reviews on SizeOn - adding that to my aresenaul.

I did a quick skim through and wrote down tally's next products to get a feel for which products people liked the best.

Most Popular (descending)

Size On - 47$, 1290g (2.84lbs)
Green Mag - 40$, 830g (1.83 lbs)

KreAlk - 21$, 120 servings of 1.5g (capsules)
Cell Mass - 47$, 960g (2.11lbs)
AST Micro - 30$, 1000g (2.2lbs)
...

Mono's - 20$, 1000g (2.2lbs)

The most popular was simply "Mono" by far but in terms of a specific brand it was between SizeOn and Green Mag away from the pack at the top then similar number of tally's next to the rest.

Conclusion: Grab SizeOn or Green Mag and if you're tight on $$ (hi college students) grab a mono and some dex.

[BHSbeast]

i think that debunking thing of krealk is wrong. i just stated to take it and i feel and look pretty damn big from b4. My friend tried it and he swears by it

[NewBBuilder6670]

Ok, I've just gotten into the gym about a week ago after a successful start some two years ago. Anyway, I'm fairly new to the whole body building aspect though I played football as a teenager in high school and such.

Now, at 37 I've put on 120 lbs that I didnt' have when I graduated and it's time to get rid of it. I really enjoy the gym and have been mainly working on my cardio for now but am starting to add in my weight lifting days.

Two years ago when I attempted this and was again very into to the point I had a trainer. She used to bodybuild and even competed years earlier. One particular supplement she suggested to me was Muscle Fuel from Advocare. Aside from what it is and who it's by she said it contained Creatine and Arganine(sp?). She told me to take it 30 mins before my workouts to give me a boost in the gym while lifting and such. After reading several posts back then on this site and wanting to build up I purchased Arge Crush and Cellmass. I still have the majority of both of these that I'm starting back taking. Cellmass as you all have talked about says to take it post-workout.

So I said all of that to ask this...When is it better to take the creatine before or after my workouts or does it really matter? I have a bottle of Mono Creatine capsules from GNC I got. Should I take them before and then do the Cellmass afterwards?

I guess my overall goal in doing all this so early in starting my working out is because I want to try and build muscle all along while I'm shedding the fat. I have been overweight for many years and I know if I just drop the fat it's going to be just a lot of saggy skin so I truly believe if I build it up that there won't be that problem or at least not as bad as it would normally be.

Thank you all for any help and suggestions you can give me.

well, hypathetically, creatine is to be taken as a post workout supplement. but, on the other hand, if u go with a preworkout n.o. supplement, chances are it will contain creatine. but as far as i go, i take my creatine post and w/e n.o. product im on 30 mins before i workout.

[dan92]

is maximuscles Cyclone any good?

[wxc]

I was taking NO-Xplode pre and Cellmass post workout a few months back and saw some nice gains. The taste was good for both of them but I stopped feeling any effect from the NO-X.

Now I've just been using Higher Power Micronized but haven't really seen much gains. I don't know if I'm taking too many supps at the moment but I'm mixing the creatine with so many other things (BCAAs, EAAs, Vitargo) that it all just tastes like **** and I dread my shakes.

[mattyvig]

I thought that Creatine Monohydrates aren't as good because your body doesn't absorb all of it.

Hi I never took any creatin before and now i'll try it .....I think i'll go with size on ....my question is then if I should get a protein product on the side with the creatin and if what would go along great with size on??

SizeOn by far the best

I've been trying their White Blood + Green Bulge stack for the last 3 weeks and am curious about what types of gains, if any, others have used when their supply ran out.

yup and with green mag you get 80 servings (nearly 3 months of use) from each bottle :)

also the taste is amazing on both flavors, people on the boards have said its the best tasting supplement around.

that is a great stack. how has it been working for you. if you are into powders, then the green magnitude/white flood stack would be more appropriate. either way is great :)

[spot_skater]

I'd have to say it's been working out pretty good so far. I started it about 10 days after a competition, so I'm not going to be able to say that all the weight I've gained so far is due to the creatine, but my strength has gone up in pretty much all lifts, and the white blood has been giving me great pumps... but that only started working after about 7 days of use.

I'm about halfway through both bottles. My journal will be the real dictator of gains, along with my stats, though.

[D4rkhorse]

BSN was taken to court over false claims on a few products. so they redid everything?

Edit: Cellmass, Nitrix, and NO xplode.

Oh yes. They were under litigation for falsely marketing the "CEM3 Technology", which turned out to not even exist. BSN had to- on their own dime- pull all products that say "CEM3" and replace them in stores. That's why IMO Cellmass is terrible. I took 3 containers of it, never really saw anything past decreased fatigue, and the whole thing turned out to be a delicious Creatine EE, nothing more.

SizeOn by far.

[D4rkhorse]

Cell Tech is full of stuff like that. Dextrose, sugar, tons of stuff you just don't need in creatine. You get somewhere between 60 and 70 grams of sugar per scoop. I'm not sure how much of that is other, useful stuff, but it sure seemed like I could have just eaten a bag of candy everyday and gotten the same results when I was on it.

i agree....they can call the sugar whatever they want, but sugar is sugar.

[birdman2]

MRI ce2, has given me the best results.

[DGreekStallion]

i agree....they can call the sugar whatever they want, but sugar is sugar.

For sure, they add a lot of sugar because creatine is dependent on the insulin spike that is caused by the massive influx of "sugar" for the body to get an optimum absorption of the creatine, if I'm correct.

[NastyNally]

I like Green Bulge more than Green mag. I had better gains with Green Bulge than Green Mag. I haven't really taken many creatines besides Cell Tech Hardcore (young and stupid), Green Mag/Bulge, and GNC mono (which I didn't finish). So I don't really have a lot of expertise in this area, but I do know which one worked for me out of what I have tried.

[Chachibenji]

Cellmass and buffered Kre-Alkalyn both left me disappointed, so right now Im just taking GNC Amplified Creatine 189 creatine tabs for something different. I honestly havent yet found a creatine which works way better than the others, although I guess at the moment my favorite is technically the Creatine Hydrochloride in the tabs Im on, its at least doing better than the other two did.

[BOBCATSOLDIER]

i dont know if this supplement would be considered a Nitric Oxide supplement.
or a creatine supplement.
but i think it would be the best because of the Creatine monohydrate,
i get insane pumps and everything flows alot better through my blood vessels, and i think the creatine can have best delivery with this factor

[vtx7]

I had always used plain old creatine mono, but I recently started SCI FIT Kre-Alk and I can say that I am definitely impressed with it so far. I would recommend anyone to give it a try

yeah, for most its a tossup between the two, they are both great. I personally go for green bulge on workout days and green mag frozen Popsicles on off days, they taste damn good :)

I currently use Animal Pump pre wo and have been very impressed with it as an overall product. I have been told its enough for a daily dose of creatine (it has 3g).

Any suggestions on what creatine to use during the off days and maybe a couple g's post-wo to add to the amimal pump?
Possibly pill form as I live in Italy and its easier to bring over pills rather than tubs...

FOURTH, @ 320LBS, KEEP FOCUSING ON CARDIO AND MOST IMPORTANT: DIET, DIET, DIET!!!

sure, use the green bulge on off days and when your animal pump runs out, switch to the green bulge on workout days to finish up. then you can see which you like best. remember though that green bulge is stim free while animal pump is not :)

With Animal Pump you have the option of taking the stims or leave them out all contained in the single red pill.

You can use a bulk mono on off days if you like.

SizeOn is by far the best creatine out there. During each week, I notice my strength and size improving drastically. The product does work no doubt about it. I used it for 3months and wanted to stay on it but I couldn't afford dishing out $70 Cdn per jug. So I had to stop using it. I missed this product alot. Too bad it is still very expensive here in Vancouver Canada. If it was $40-50 I would buy it again!!

here on bb.com size on is 47.99, you must be shopping somwhere like gnc, my local gnc usually sells it for 79.99, that is absolutly insane but like i said here on bb.com it is under $50

Question- After my research I decided to buy my first can of creatine = Animal Pump.

Some questions I need answers for ... Why is it recommended to a serving of Animal Pump everyday?? why on non work out days??


I am going to push the weights tonight and before I do so I will have a take the Animal pump serving...SO is it fine to drink a Isoflex protien milkshake right after my work out???

I am a newcomer and this will help a lot. THANKS>

Almost finished with my bottle of creadex by Muscle Asylum and i must say i'm very impressed, I stack it with Anabolic OD by MAP these two together are one bad ass stack, even better than the shock therapy and storm stack i was using by Universal, it's a little expensive so if you can afford it check it out 9 out of 10 rating on this stack.

NOTE: Pre-bottled creatine has High Fructose Corn Syrup, the dry MIX is what has the Dextrose that you want. I am actaully impressed with the difference.

Hello,

I'm a "n00b" with a quick question for the "informed."

I'm aware that SizeOn's recommended dosage is 43g but is this an appropriate figure for someone weighing 140 pounds?

Since I'm a smaller individual should I instead stick to the 0.3 g / kg / d for 5 - 7 days (loading cycle) followed by 0.03 g / kg / d (upkeep?)

I would think the dosage would differ depending on body weight. Is this correct?

If not could anyone inform me as to why this is?

Thanks in advance

Peace!

You are correct that your dosage is smaller due to your body weight.

The reason is because you have less mass to feed, you need less.

This not only pertains to creatine, but every other substance that you intake.

[DGreekStallion]

Also, good job choosing the best creatine out here, SizeOn.

[John_Dee]

Thanks for the clarification. It seems others at the Gaspari forum (http://gaspariforum.com/index.php?topic=904.0) are not so helpful.

I'm not trying to be a jerk- it just seems like the "mod" didn't care whether or not someone's liver or kidney function is impaired as long as they sell their supplement.

Boo-hoo to me I guess! After all- who needs a liver? Oh wait...

One other thing... Does the "every other substance that you intake" apply to protein powder as well? I intake that- so probably, huh?

If so- whats that formula?

Thanks once again in advance...

if in doubt call them, all reputable supplement companies have a customer support number on their packaging. if you want the best and most appropriate answer i would go right to the source, call Gaspari, they will help you best with something like this.

P.S.
i would agree that size on is one of the better products out there, good choice

your going to get a million opinions on the protein formula so be ready to be bombarded, personnaly i use 2 grams of protein per pound of lean bodyweight per day while bulking and 1 to 1.5 grams of protein to pound of lean bodyweight per day while cutting/maintenance

Are you on this product? and if so, how is it working for you?

Thanks

[casobooze]

sizeon only last for 10 days a bottle? thats ridiculous considering its $50 a bottle..one serving a day- 10 servings total

[casobooze]

well damn now i found pills that have like 40 servings

[CHUCK DIESEL]

you guys do know giving input on what you think is the best creatine product without a reason that has to do with creatine (like strength gains) and not listing other past creatine containing products used just makes for useless feedback. saying "i like blabla creatine cuz it taste good" isn't enough.

[adamci1]

sizeon only last for 10 days a bottle? thats ridiculous considering its $50 a bottle..one serving a day- 10 servings total

your looking at the 430 gram one which is only 20 bucks. The 47.99 sizeon has 1290 grams and will last you 6 weeks (only on workout days)

[DGreekStallion]

I'm not sure if I can post this here, but would someone like to buy my bottle of SizeOn off me? I've only used one scoop, and its the Punch flavor.

[pumptfibras]

Theres a new creakic hardcore at my GNC, it looks pretty cool.

[arshah]

ive never taken creatine and want to know wht the difference is between ethyl ester and monohyrdate, and which one is better

[DGreekStallion]

In my opinion, the formulation with ethyl ester is better.

[Robert.Shields6]

I have used Cell-Tech for the past 3 years, and I must say it is by far the best product I have used. On average, I gain approximately 8 to 10 pounds within the first two weeks of usage. My muscle pumps are larger and more dense, and I am able to squeeze out those few extra repetitions. The only negative thing I have to say is it does cause a little bloating due to the high fructose content. One way to circumvent this is to wear a belly wrap during workouts. This increases localized sweating, and helps to reduce water retention.

[BB_Freak90]

I enjoyed the vitamin shoppe brand creatine monohydrate. Cheap and does the job. Muscle tech products are a waste of money and have way too much sugars and other things that will make you gain fat in it, alot of it, so I dont use em and BSN works great.

[yodadude16]

In my opinion, the formulation with ethyl ester is better.

x2 monohydrate doesnt give me as great of strength gains as ethyl ester, plus i dont feel bloated with ethyl ester creatine products

[User72321]

Prolab Creatine Monohydrate worked great for me. I increased about 20 percent on my Army Physical Fitness Test in the two months I have been taking it. I was able to build up strength and endurance. It is the only suppliment I have been taking lately.

[richc]

i have used creakic before, maybe i just dont respond well to that particular formula but i found it to be a waste of money i wouldnt buy it again. i didnt make any more gains in size, weight or strength while on it than normall without it

[jebbers]

kre alkalyn is pretty cheap and it works great for me, i went up 75 pound in squat and 30 pounds in bench in 6 weeks, now im cycling off for a week or two.

[arshah]

has anyone tried controlled labs green magnitude? if so how well does it work

[jmurphy22]

has anyone tried controlled labs green magnitude? if so how well does it work

I've taken it. The taste is good..but does taste get results..? Well for me sorta. I got good endurance gains but did not notice any size gains. My strength however went up a little but the endurance boost was really great.

[Ilke2gofst]

Gaspari Size On (powder) is my favorite but apparently AX has a creatine in the works that is gonna blow size on away

[Rsanman]

Mhp Trac this past summer used for a 3 month time span...Got me the strongest and biggest i had previously been..Work hard lift right and you will see your gains...There is no Magic

[hamza__23]

Hi everyone
i was wondering if someone could help me out by answering some of my questions.I am thinking of buying cell tech hardcore to gain some weight and increase my muscle size.Has anyone ever used this product and if so does the effect stay after your done using it.Im not into body building or anything.I just want to put on another 4 or 5 kg's and become stronger and fitter for sports.Is there any other product someone could recommend if this is the wrong one.
One more question.Is it bad to keep changing products and how long after using a creatine product should one wait to start using it again.The Cell tech hardcore box lasts around 25 days.Once finished how long should i wait for before using it again.
Thanks

I went through a bottle last fall and just finished a bottle of cell tech hardcore. I really like it and experience big gains, I was working my butt off but I am confident that the cell tech really helped. The taste is ok but that shouldn't really be much of a factor for you. I took a pre-work out NO mix with the creatine(BSN NO-xplode or Nano vapor are both good). Hope that helps.

And I forget the exact length you are suppose to wait between creatine cycles but I have been waiting 3-4 weeks. Good luck and train tough!

awesome to hear, green mag tastes great, is an amazing value and most importantly, works !

[Trem24]

I've been looking to add a creatine product into my supplements, I've taken creatine before but didn't see much results and the reason why I'm looking to take one again is that I need to extra boost in the gym. Cuz some days I just don't have it.

Anyway, I've been lookin into BSN NO Explode or Cell Mass or Nitrix. What are you opinions on these and what others do you Recommend?

[Hart18]

Axis Labs CEE...something like 396 caps for like $30..awesome deal and it works great!

[jeffdbittinger]

My Best results from
Supplement Direct Creatine Ethyl Ester HCL only $13 at bb.com

Iv'e tried mono,micronized,kre-alk, and pre-workout mixes.
CEE works best IMO

pre/post workout
Tastes F***ing horrible so either suck it up like I do and take it quick, or cap it.

[Samuels]

I've tried kre-alk, green mag and just finished Size On. I was taking Size on with superpump 250 and the green mag with white flood.

I defintely liked the white flood better then superpump. I can take 1 scoop of white flood and get more energy then 2 scoops of superpump.

The Size On and green mag were very similiar in results. The green mag is cheaper though and calorie free allowing more food.

I just bought a fresh tub of green mag and i'm waiting for the white flood to come in hopefully tommorow.

Anyone tried the pillform of white blood?
i was gonna buy it but i thought the powedered white flood would be better.

you cant go wrong with any of them. they have all given me great gains. i have yet to try nitrix though...

i dont believe these products are meant to be used interchangeably, they each have a different purpose. i have used the stack with all three and had very good resluts although there is one big side effect, bank account catabolism, while your muscles grow your bank account shrinks

[Trem24]

Are the BSN creatine products Ethyl Ester or Monohydrate?

I've used the BSN stack also. Results were ok, not very impressive for the money you spend. I've had better results with far less expensive products(Controlled Labs)

[email_mikel]

AVPT (Advanced Volumizing & Performance Technology) 4250mg **
Sodium Creatine Phosphate Matrix, Creatine Ethyl Ester-Beta-Alanine Dual Action Composite (CarnoSyn), Creatinol-O-Phosphate-Malic Acid Interfusion, Creatine AAB (Creatine Alpha-Amino-N-Butyrate)


Thats the new Cellmass(above)

the old cellmass had CEM3 Creatine Ethyl Ester Malate 3000mg

i know they have refomulated cellmass, it was cee, i cant imagine they would have changed that, but if you go into the bodybuilding.com store and look it up it will give you all the info on the product.

I still have some left over Cellmass(grape cooler flavour)(never used it all-*garbage*) and the label says 3000mg of CEE.

I think they just added Beta-Alanine to the CEE in the new cellmass(The AVPT version)

[TrueBeliever]

I tried cheap ass creatine from walmart, Cellmass, MRI CE2 Platinum, and now I am using Nos Ether.

So far I enjoy Nos Ether. I haven't been gaining since I was taking it (slimming down for the summer) but it does give me a good workout in the gym (allows me to get that extra rep in). I take Nos Ether an hour b4 my workout and I use purple wraath during my workout and I'm having tons of energy in the gym.

[eternalevolve]

Hey guys, I bought some CellMass at the local sup store 2 nights ago. After reading through this thread towards the end, I noticed that people are talking about a new CellMass formula.

The one I have says "CEM3" technology

Should I return it and get the new kind.... I am assuming they changed it for a reason, I would like the better version seens how it was pretty spendy.

THanks

if you can, go for it, but chances are, they wont let you swap it out because everyone is trying to sell out the old stuff before they get the new stuff in. There is no price difference between the old stuff and the new stuff.

glad to hear it thanks. green magnitude is pretty awesome and bb.com has free samples in the store :)

somebody told me that I shouldn't take celltech until I am 21 yrs old. is this reasonable? if so, y?

I agree. Prolab Creapure Mono is great. You can 1000g for $20

I'm pretty sure you have the old cellmass.
If there's 3000mg of CEM3(Creatine Ethyl Ester Malate) it's the old.
The new AVPT Cellmass has 4250mg of CEE and Beta-Alanine.

I'm not a fan of BSN , used old Cellmass/Nitrix/NoXplode with sub par results. I havent tried their new stuff.

[eternalevolve]

Thanks for the responses, I think I will try my luck and try to swap for the new....GNC has a pretty lenient policy.


I have not seen much talk about Con-Cret... anyone use it? the GNC dude was telling me that it is amazing.... any thoughts?

[janjo]

Can one take BSN's Cellmass and Cell Tech's Creatine at the same time?

Im planning on buying some creatine next week but first want to make sure that it won't be too much of something or anything...

Cellmass is sold as a post-workout product but its not "creatine" per se, right?

Also, today is my last day on a high-protein (almost exclusive) diet. Could that harm my liver in any way? To jump right in into creatine?
