Thinking about switching creatine brands

[irishwhip03]

For about the last year and a half I've been on the standard Muscletech creatine, 5 grams a day. I've been satisfied with the results physically but would like to switch to something that will increase my strength, so thinking about trying out the AX German creatine. Is this something that could be beneficial or not?

Also is it necessary or a good idea to do a loading phase on the new product? I skipped it the first time before starting on the Muscletech, but Im considering loading before starting on the new brand.

Any opinions would be appreciated.

You do not have realistic expectations of creatine if you think changing brands will yield more strength.

If you wanted to try something new & different, I would switch creatine forms before I switched creatine brands.

All you need is the proven monohydrate.

If you're dead set on switching brands, check out "Naked" creatine, 2.2lbs(200 servings) for $20 is hard to beat.

You're really overthinking it, just stick with whatever monohydrate you've been using. Muscletech is fine.

A creatine load is a creatine load, no matter what form

Yeah I agree with the others, what you have is fine. Creatine won't magically increase your strength. That micronized one you're using is actually very good. Rather than thinking of changing your supplements (which honestly contributes to very little in the long run) consider focusing on exercises that will build your strength.

Also, you don't need to load creatine. Considerable waste imo when we already have creatine in our system without supplementing it. You can use it endlessly with literally no issues.

Will you please tell my wife this

as others have said, creatine is creatine....however if you wish to try a creatine product with some extras that can help with performance, look into Green Magnitude

I use Optimum Nutrition Micronized Creatine Powder. Have tried a lot of brands but for me this works best.
