I've read so many different threads in which some people say Creapure is Micronized and some say that Creapure is micronized. If that is the case though, what is the difference?
Then, which ones would you recommend? What is the best quality/most effective brand for the best deal?

If you want just a basis creatine I would recommend Prolab's creapure, if you want something different I would go with sizeon by gasari.

But is Creapure micronized? lol Micronized Creatine is formulated to absorb into your muscles faster correct?
I'm getting either Animal Pump or Pre-Surge as my main Creatine I am just purchasing this for off-days.
And, if I go with Pre-Surge which IS Creapure then should I get some Creatine Ethyl Ester to stack with it on off-days as to have both types in my Supplements instead of stacking the same thing?Last edited by CROSSFIRE24; 01-21-2009 at 02:01 PM.

Plain and simple. Get the best of both worlds.
Get Optimum Nutrition's Micronized Creatine. They use CreaPure for it and micronize it as well. Only Prolab and Optimum Nutrition sell CreaPure according to CreaPures website, and Optimum Nutrition is the only one that offers it micronized"You've got to keep your faith in God everytime something good happens or not.

From my experience I would go with PreSurge which has tarragon to increase creatine-skeletal muscle delivery before workouts... off days you could include some Prolab Creapure, but long term simply taking a great creatine product every workout day should maintain optimum muscular creatine stores. I would avoid CEE.

Yes it is true. It is actually both. Here is the link:

Their qualities will be identical. The Optimum Nutrition will absorb faster (and arguably more efficiently) since its micronized BUT it is more money."You've got to keep your faith in God everytime something good happens or not.

Micronized Creapure brand creatine (at one hell of a price)
If your preference is one over the other, then I would go w/ creapure.

Creapure is just a trademark for a German manufactured creatine monohydrate. Three countries mass produce raw creatine: Germany, China, and the US. Of those three, Germany (AlzChem manufacturer) produces the purest creatine without impurities. Several brands use Creapure such as Prolab, Optimum Nutrition, Allmax, Kaizen, Sportpharma, etc. Of those, Optimum Nutrition, Allmax, Kaizen, and Sportpharma offer micronized version.
"Micronized" is a process that makes the particles 10-20 smaller. It claims to be more efficient and have better absorption due to the greater surface area, but I don't think there's data to prove, only in theory. It does have better mixability, however.i take it for granted that no hearer of mine will misinterpret what I have to say as the language of cynicism

I have decided to take Pre-Surge as my main Creatine. I've already tried Animal Pump and had wonderful results but Pre-Surge has caught my eye and I really want to give it a go. Would I need to take any of the Creatine Mono after my workout with Presurge? I believe it contains 3g but the suggested dose is 5g per day right?
And is there a specific one you would recommend? I am thinking about going with the Sportpharma brand as of now.
AND (lol) when I take it on off days (cardio days for me) what should I take it with? Can I just pour the powder in my mouth and wash it down with water or is something better for this?Last edited by CROSSFIRE24; 01-21-2009 at 03:13 PM.
