I need help picking the best and most affordable creatine monohydrate supplement. I use EAS 100% whey protein in the mornings, post workout, and at night (it doesn't taste the best but I get a VERY good deal on it). I need to know which creatine supplement to take and how to take it (pre or post WO, mixing it with the EAS?). I'm looking for the most basic and safe one. Thanks in advance for the help!

Any creapure labeled creatine. 5g once a day, I mix it with my shake for convenience.

Yes, yes, and a bunch of brands use creapure creatine, creapure just means it is guaranteed pure. Allmax I believe is the best price right now

Hey guys, I was just at GNC, and the sales rep told me to take amplified creatine 189 as opposed to the monohydrate. He said the 189 pills dont cause water retention like the monohydrate does. Thought?

Dont go to GNC, 189 is a GNC branded supp and they will push it cause they get paid through commission. Buy from the bb.com store.

He's an idiot, and that stuff is a lot more expensive. If you take 5g of creatine monohydrate each day, the only water retention you'll experience is more water in the muscle cell. So your muscles will look bigger. Win. Got to the bb.com store, buy Allmax Creatine Monohydrate, and win at life. And it doesn't matter when and how you take it. Just 5g a day. No loading.

Wait 3-5 days, it takes a couple weeks to saturate anyway

No, creapure stamps are found on the manufacturers label, it means it has minimal impurities. Ive use vitamin shoppes creatine, I think its the hardcore creatine? It worked fine. Micronized means the granules are smaller.
