    Recommended Creatine?

    Anyone recommend a creatine supplement?
    Perhaps non-monohydrate? Effective and affordable?
    Least side effects and less water absorption?
    I am not one to drink tons of water, and I do not want to load/cycle
    Looking to spend my G N C gift card...
    Thank you!

    Why non-mono??

    Blue-Raspberry CreaCore is a good choice then.

    Any creatine mono will suffice. You could try optimum nutrition's creatine.

    You do not need to load or cycle.

    You do not have to load or cycle mono. Simply take 3-5g a day daily. As far as drinking plenty of water, you should be doing so anyways to stay hydrated especially if you are active and workout.

    Axis Labs Creatine Monohydrate is a very high quality creatine at a great price.

    I recommend creatine mono because it is the most researched and it is cheap and effective.

    You should never need to load/cycle creatine in the first place

    CreaCore is also the best valued hcl product in its class. Another option that is a blend of hcl and mono with some carbs is Cell-Tech. CellTech is my favorite out of the two, and like Creacore, tastes amazing.

    You definitely need to be drinking adequate water if taking creatine. Doesn't matter if you want to or not. You'll need to while taking creatine.

    You should be drinking plenty of water regardless, creatine or not..

    As for creatine loading/cycling, is not need what so ever.. Just dose 3-5g per day is all you need to do.

    Any creatine mono, if you dead set on non mono, creacore is going to be the most affordable hcl

    No mater the creatine, no matter the supplement, you gotta drink lots of water. It does a body good reagrdless of supplementation or not. And really, any form of creatine, one should be drinking good amount of water, so not taking mono won't cause you to have less of a need for H2O.
    That sais, my rec for mono would be Kre-Alkalyn from All American EFX. I personally take it in tablet form for the convenience of not having to mix it in anything, but also come sin powder & liquid. Non-mono if u must would be CreaCore,

    if you wanted to know brands for creatine monohydrate I'd recommend...

    allmax creatine
    ON creatine
    primaforce creaform
    universal creatine
    cellucor creatine


    for non-mono, MT creacore, like others said, is one of the best
