Liquid creatine

[Jonjoggin]

Lately I have been asking my dad to consider buying me creatine he said he would talk to his friend who owns a gym about the matter. So my dad eventually talks to his and friend and he recommends liquid creatine because it’s safer on the kidneys. Now I have been doing a lot of research here and the general consensus is that liquid creatine isn’t as good as the other forms, is this true? Will it be safer on my kidneys then say powder creatine?

LIQUID CREATINE IS CRAP

creatine, over time, degenerates into creatines by-product, creatinine, which is useless.

dont open the bottle, return it, and buy a jug of creatine monohydrate powder

Yea im serious my dad bought it.

Yea im serious my dad bought it.

you must not have read the article........

"Creatine degrades over time in water into it's waste product creatinine which is useless in the body and will simply be excreted. Companies who claim that they have stabilized creatine in a liquid are flat out lying to you. One of these companies (I believe Muscle Marketing USA) had a lab assay done on their liquid creatine and the assay found that it only contained 15% of the creatine on the label claim. I would like to further de-credify these companies by noting that one of the reasons they claim their product is so good is because their creatine does not make your retain water. WHAT? As I have stated earlier, this is one of the biggest benefits of creatine, this clearly shows their eagerness to prey upon the ignorance of the public."

There are DOCUMENTED studies, confirming that powdered monohydrate is superior to liquid creatine.

this is a smart man. you can buy 600 grams of prolabs creatine monohydrate for like $15. This will last you like 6 months.

[drxmn]

theres also a 1000g creatin mono special on like every bbing website. i think its $15, maybe 20. big deal! atleast itll work!

you could always go for the controlled labs green magnitude.

thats too bad man.....yeah, you didnt get creatine. You got a bottle of liquid.

[bigmike50]

dont tell your dad that liquid creatine "is not as good" tell him the truth! how it flat out DOES NOT WORK. let him know he just wasted $35 on flavored water. there are nuemerous articles on how creatine mono is not bad for you so show him that. bottom line liquid creatine=crap in a bottle ; creatine mono=revolutionary supplement in bodybuilding

[Jonjoggin]

[Jonjoggin]

yea thats what I was thinking just trying to use the bottle up fast. What powder do you think I should get, a couple of my friends have take no-explode and speak highly about it.

NO-Explode only has 1g of creatine per scoop. It is more of a "pre-workout" supplement, rather than a creatine supplement.

I would get plain Micronized Creatine Monohydrate. It will give you better results that NO-Explode, and is less $$-

Thanks ill have to try that stuff after reading the nutrient facts on the serum I found out it only has 250mg of ceatine for the 5ml serving size.

[DeathDesigns]

I am not suggesting it but what would you guys think of http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/hp/creatine.html since its $10 cheaper for the same kind of creatine
