What Creatine should I BUY????

[bigdog123]

Creatine's i've tried:

Cellmass- did nothing
Celltech- did nothing, tried it when I was inexperienced and stupid and thought all that sugar helped.
Creatine monohydrate- used recently and got minor gains but it bloated me extremely bad and made me feel like a fat ass. It also gave me stomach cramps and I couldn't eat much while on it. I only drank it with water.

So i've been reading some posts and heard good things about green magnitude. So I was thinking about trying that.

I listened to a personal trainer on youtube who reads ingredients and can tell you what will work. He said the creatine blends tend to work better. He recommended creatines such as CREAture, and universal storm. He said he hasnt tried storm but the ingredients looked good. He said Creature is the only one he could swear by because he currently uses it and gets good gains from it.

So I want to know from people who have actually used alot of creatines which ones work? I don't want any that bloats.

Since you mentioned it Storm is a great option and incredible value with 80 servings for under $29

Tastes great too:

Green Mag gave me the same bloated feeling. It was returned within the week. I actually went with Animal Pump, and couldn't be happier.

Check out MAN Clout. Not only a great creatine product, but one of the best natural strength enhancing formulas on the market.

Just about every Creatine I have tried has bloated me...with one exception.

AEN's CreatineRT is the only one that hasn't.

I blame the sugar intake with the creatine more then anything else at this point. And with CreatineRT there is no need for the sugar so they say.

As far as effect goes, they were all about the same for me I noticed very little difference.

One thing to watch for, don't take Glutamine with your creatine, I saw two guys at the gym the other night, down a preworkout they mixed there with Jak3d, Glutamine, and Creatine powders.

You should buy the cheapest you can find. Supplements like CellTech add dextrose (sugar basically) and then jack up the price. Just buy the creatine and add your own sugar to it.

Creatine wont really bloat you unless you are incorrectly dosing. A certain % does have GI issues from mono however

You can take glutamine and creatine together

Animal Pump is a great choice, I didn't mention it since it's much more than just creatine

[rob112]

I personally like mono and c-Bol(not together of course. Some others get good feedback bit I haven't tried them.

[longhorns_p]

Your trainer gave you good advice.

Good time to try out Creature this month while we're offering free samples

The new powder is extremely popular, everyone is loving the taste.

[bodybuildingbrady]

Those are all great choices, But I think If money is not an option go with clout.

You can but don't the have an inverse synergy to them? They basically counteract one another do they not?

No, they do not.

As a non-rep I have to recommend Controlled Labs Green Magnitude. $40 for 80 servings. 2 1/2 months worth even if taken everyday (training and none). Great value, tastes good, and I don't get any stomach discomfort from it.

Although Storm looks interesting and a question if a Universal Reps pops back in, bbing.com says there are 4 forms of creatine when the label lists 6. Just wondering why the TriCreatine Matrix (Gluconate, Orotate, and AKG) counts as one form? Definitely might be giving this a try when my green mag runs out. Any samples available anywhere? I've never used Storm so I can't/won't recommend it but I must admit it looks pretty interesting.

[Daywalker75]

You need to buy a good high quality creatine that has the creapure label on it. dont waste your money on cheap junk. Im in the UK but i know the Gaspari creatine products have creapure in them. Creapure is from germany its very high quality creatine.

[SugarDoll]

I recommend Con-Crete- Pure Concentrated Creatine

[influence]

allmax creapure

[Sevenstrings]

Just go with the Green Mag. Had a tub of it and it was great stuff

[CDMMA]

Well, since we're recommending creatines in here, I'll throw a couple more in the hat. Trinitine, Cre-02, Green Bulge, C-bol and SNS MCC.

[Doolee]

If bloating is your problem, green mag or sns's MCC product is a pretty safe bet. Clout for sure if going for all out strength, though.

It is actually 6 forms of creatine in Storm. Unfortunately we don't have samples of Storm at this time. It really is a great, under rated formula, amazing value and results.

MCC is good however too much of it can cause GI distress from the magnesium, some companies have had to reformulate their products because of too much magnesium caused issues.
