Any creatine less harsh on bladder?

**greenleaf** · 12-01-2015, 05:27 AM

Is there any creatine that is less harsh on the bladder? Tried ON Creatine Mono (3g a day, no loading). It seemed to aggravate my bladder and gave me UI problem. Is this a typical side with any creatine or just mono?

**LiftingLando** · 12-01-2015, 05:50 AM

Never experienced that personally. Mono has always been easy for me with no side effects.

**VaughnTrue** · 12-01-2015, 05:51 AM

creatine is creatine is creatine (except for nonsense like CEE and Kre-alk). maybe try stacking with some cranberry extract

Have you had any other creatine prior to this one? Perhaps its just a coincidence. I would suggest upping your fluid intake as this could prevent this issue.

**greenleaf** · 12-01-2015, 06:37 AM

I want to try another creatine just to see if it's a coincidence. What's a good alternative to ON Mono?

Magnesium Creatine Chelate is another good source. Avoid CEE and pH adjusted creatines as they're not worth it.

Did you increase your water intake at all while on creatine?

**TMac26** · 12-01-2015, 06:47 AM

Make sure you are drinking enough water.

Our hcl product CreaCore is currently buy 1 get 1 free. It is the best valued hcl product on the market even when not on bogo.

**baschulz1** · 12-01-2015, 09:18 AM

Can I ask why NeuroCore Super Concentrated Pre-Workout is no longer being offered by BB.com???? Does it have to do with the new formula's aggressive, dirty Yohimbe bark extract inclusion @ 3 scoops?? Man....I still have some of this stuff and at 3 scoops it is NOT pleasant. SOLELY due to the Yohimbe inclusion. And this coming from a dude who has literally taken almost all pre-workouts religiously over the past 2 years....as well as all forms and doses of Yohimbe (extract bark - junk) and Yohimbe HCL. I am honestly curious. Thanks.

As mentioned creatine is creatine for the most part. Maybe try Allmax creatine. I find the powder more "fine" than ON but still all the same.

Check out MuscleTech Platinum Creatine Monohydrate. It's cheap, and a basic like ON Mono.

I've never expierenced and problems using any type of creatine, and stick with Mono since it's so cheap.

The form in Neurocore you mentioned is Alpha-Y. There is a massive difference between Y-HCL and Alpha-Y

Yes there is. Alpha-Y being complete garbage....which is why I am wondering the reasoning behind MuscleTechs choice to go this route. And why has it magically been discontinued on BB.com? Too many people having adverse reactions to such a horrible ingredient?

Most of your issues are likely coming from Yohimbine, not rauw. Even I have very little side effects with rauw, and yohimbine kicks my ass.

Lol not its not.

Alpha Y is much more pricey and people notice almost nil in regards to reactions compared to Y-HCL

The fact you lump in the same shows you really have no idea what your talking about.

And MT discontinued a bunch of products, maybe it got the chop too. Or its out of stock, bb.com puts it under d/c if out of stock

**mtownballer20** · 12-01-2015, 01:55 PM

Have you had this happen before? What makes you think it's your bladder?

^ this. Try a quality HCL.

Whoops, I think I am confusing my Yohimbe/ingredients

my bad! All I know is that the extract bark makes baby jesus cry....and I don't want baby jesus to cry. That is all.

Alpha-y is one of the few (see: less than 5) things that has been scientifically proven to aid in weight loss with trained individuals. Iirc the soccer study had no change in diet either.

**Starkk** · 12-01-2015, 02:18 PM

This sounds like a classic case of you need to drink some water. Like, a lot.

People never seem to get as much as they think they are.

I doubt switching creatine brands or moving to something aside from mono is going to resolve your issues, but it also won't really hurt.

Alternatively, you can just take a preworkout with creatine already in it. I haven't purchased a separate creatine product in years

Blue star creatine is the only one I use ATM. Used to get gi issues with other brands.

I highly doubt the creatine use caused an UTI. Too many other things could have caused it. I don't believe I've ever heard any study or other mention of creatine mono causing this issue.

You may want to see if there were any other factors at play during that time that could have caused an UTI.

**greenleaf** · 12-01-2015, 06:04 PM

At least 1 gallon a day. Usually 1.5 gallon. Is this enough water?

Another creatine user mentioned UTI.

Creatine doesn't cause UTI's.

Sleeping with someone with a nasty crotch causes UTI's in men.
