CREAPure vs. Micronized Creatine Monohydrate?

[mentalist72]

PVL Mutant do Creatine that is Creapure......about 300g tubs that have 75 servings felt the energy increase the minute I took that stuff

Perfect example of the placebo effect

LOL! Nice placebo effect bro, since creatine offers 0% energy, good stuff.

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?

Creapure is a trademarked brand of Creatine Monohydrate, trademarked by its German manufacturer. It does not differentiate whether the product is micronised or not. It differentiates only how it is tested to establish its level of purity. Creapure is a brand name of one form of Creatine Monohydrate that just so happens to be the most reliable and the most studied, therefore the most trusted.

Microinised Creatine is Creatine that has gone through the process of breaking the Creatine down to smaller parts in order to make it more water soluble and easier absorbed. A micronisation of Creatine can be done with any Creatine, not just Creapure brand Creatine.

Is there a difference between pill form and powder form in terms of absorption? I noticed most major Creatine products seem to be in powder form so I am wondering.

No difference whatsoever. The capsule has the exact same Creatine Monohydrate powder inside it. The only difference is the delivery mechanism - instead of using a teaspoon, stirring the powder into a glass of water and drinking it, a capsule is just swallowed whole. At the end you still end up with the same thing in your stomach only by different means. Capsules are made to be more convenient but they're also quite a bit more expensive.
