what creatine brand do you guys use?

[IstupidIkno]

i just need a small push or head start building muscle. i just got done reading the stickies and am wondering what you guys use. xyience nox cg3 is listed in the top 3 sellers here on bb.com and i seen that brand alot on UFC so im thinking about it, but i dont wanna jump to conclusions that its good just cuz i saw it on TV =/ there is a buy 1 get 1 free on it now though...hmmmmm......i also see muscle tech being mentioned on some websites searching on google...

so far the only supplement i take is ON whey. im thinkin about adding something else into my supplements that i take to help me gain faster but i dun wanna go overboard.

Make sure you have a good diet/training routine.

Also stick to basic supplements: Protein/Creatine/Multi/Fish Oils

Prolabs Creapure is a great one, Now Vitmin is solid, and Now Omega 3 is an excellent choice. I would start there.

creatine monohydrate is a good choice. very very inexpensive these days. when i was 18 that **** was INSANELY expensive. you can get 1 kilo for 12 bucks shipped.

I take it you don't like opti-men?


To the OP, I personally like Green Mag Creatine. The sour apple taste pretty good and it works well

[compan]

personally, i use sizeon - lemon. it tastes great and deffinitly works. gaspari has one of the best creatine formula's IMO.

[Dan106]

Controlled Labs Green Mag
Omega Sports Thunder

2 of the best creatine products ou IMO

[KCoils]

Assuming diet and training are in check:

Isatori CEXL, not many people seem to be fond of this stuff (though there are a couple of logs been ran and getting good feedback at the moment) but its my personal favourite.

Creatine Mono, you can get this stuff for next to nothing, and it works almost as well as many of the fancy creatine formulas.

[IstupidIkno]

hmmmmm......you guys seem to emphasize diet and training alot...im not too sure if i have those down yet. im just not sure now. what happens if you take creatine and ur diet and training isnt as good as it could be? or what if you dont work out your lower half as much? will it make you fat down there or something?

Get your diet and training in order BEFORE taking any supplements.

[bigdawgfoxx]

Yeah, diet and training are very important...Controlled Labs Green MAG!

[NEADmike]

NOX CG3 = Overpriced and overrated and overpromoted.

If Xyience didn't spend so much damn money on sponsors and advertising, maybe they could afford to drop the price a bit. Although, they would probably go out of business too.

In all seriousness, NOX CG3 is a semi-decent product though. Just way too overpriced. There are many other products out there that are not only much better (Product and performance wise), but also much cheaper.

Two great products (In order of reccomendation, would be Gaspari SizeOn and Controlled Labs GreenMAG.

Two great products that are tried ad true. Your average Joe can easily afford them, and most importantly... THEY WORK!

Taste is very good for both too! Just a matter of preference really!

And if you can not afford to take them every day, then I would suggest buyig some bulk creatine monohydrate to take on off days.

Can't go wrong at all!

And like everyone else said, make sure your diet and workout routines are in check before you even think about buying any supplements! Most people who have a crappy diet ad routine will get better results from an improved diet and workout than any supplement would ever give them! Guaranteed or your money back!

Take care and be safe!

Mike.

[Alphy]

Prolabs Creapure is a great one

agree

[IstupidIkno]

hmmmm ok, so if i take creatine right now without being on a strict diet will i still get benefits from it? my metabolism is just too high for me to gain weight good weight. my family already complains about me eating so much. i also find it hard to add more calories into my diet without adding on too much fat...

[FaceThePain]

I use 8g of Ultimate Nutrition Kre-Alkalyn, and 1 serving of Animal Pump daily for my creatine intake, and it's worked wonders.

[UGAdawg2]

Controlled Labs Green Mag

I agree here.

However, I'm switching up my stack to the sp250 and sizeon. I like to try diff. things. Plus, I've heard all good things.

[IstupidIkno]

ok then, so im thinkin about getting some controlled lab. and maybe dynamite elite mocha cafe? why hasnt anyone suggested ON whey? =/

[esso]

I use 8g of Ultimate Nutrition Kre-Alkalyn, and 1 serving of Animal Pump daily for my creatine intake, and it's worked wonders.

That is REALLY REALLY TOO MUCH. You are taking animal pump which has a full dose of creatine and you are also taking 8x the recommended amount of kre alkalyn. You should really decrease your doses.

[devin45k]

Well I only use like 2.5 grams of creatine ethyl ester a day. I think some people get a little overboard with how much grams they take. I take Six Star Hardcore Strength (capsules). They are made by the same company as Muscletech but a lot cheaper. U can go to a walmart and pick up a month supply for like $10 or $11....personally I love it.

You probably won't get the results you're looking for if you don't eat and train properly. Then you'll come back here after spending money on supplements and complain that they didn't "work" for you.

That is totally true!

[IstupidIkno]

k then, imma just try to work on my diet while on this stuff...i dont wanna wait=T

[Branch Chain Blink]

Diet first, supplements later.

After that, for pure creatine mono I use ATW Creatine MH, it's great and cheap. For a preworkout supp I use VPX NO Shotgun, but am switching to Universal Animal Pump soon. Both are good choices IMO, except no one really knows (at least I don't) how much creatine is in Shotgun.

[FaceThePain]

That is REALLY REALLY TOO MUCH. You are taking animal pump which has a full dose of creatine and you are also taking 8x the recommended amount of kre alkalyn. You should really decrease your doses.

Animal Pump has 3g of creatine in it.. how much do you think is going to actually be absorbed and used?
And they say you can use less Kre, because 100% is absorbed, but I saw less impact with 1.5 g, than with 8.
I'm sure I'm taking a little too much, but I'll have to just fine tune things until I see what works best.

[dumac]

sadly, gnc but it was free so. i'm going to switch soon.

[grimskunk]

Does anybody ever tried the creatine monohydrate available on ***********.com? There are many different creatine products...Any feedbacks on the quality?
