I'm not a fan of monohydrate due to the fact I get dehydrated like crazy and I'm pissing every 20 minutes, can't sleep or anything cuz I'm waking, running to the bathroom all the time. The best creatine product I've tryed so far was definitly Ultimate Nutrition Horsepower. I'm a huge fan of this, I got great pumps, my strength went up a ton, and it didn't dehydrate me at all. Just my two cents...
Go big or go home!

I've tried these creatine products, and here's what I think of them. I never experienced many side effects with any of them, but that is just me.
Universal Chewable Creatine Tablets - This was the first creatine supplement I ever took, when creatine was first starting to get popular. They were AWFUL. They were huge tablets and tasted like chalk. Worst of all, a serving size was 4 tablets. I took them for about a year with so-so results.
GNC Effervescent Creatine Packets
GNC Mega-Creatine Extreme Packets
- These two are pretty much the same. I experienced similar effects with both. I felt a much greater effect from these than from the chewables. They ran out pretty quickly though, so I started only taking half a serving each time.
BSN Cell-mass
- Cell mass was good. It lasted me a long time and I did notice benefits. But I don't think it was much better than the packets. I also didn't like the fact that it had no sugar in it, which makes it a bad post-workout drink unless you mix it with gatorade or something.
Cell-Tech Hardcore
- This one didn't mess around. I literally put on close to 10 lbs in about a week and made big strenth gains. And this was after being in a plateau for a while on the Cell-mass. My muscles did seem a bit bloated, however. I would attribute most of the gains to the large amounts of creatine in each serving size compared to other products. And the sugar in it probably had an effect as well. It was by far the best product I've tried, but the cost was just too high for only a one month supply of creatine. Then again the serving sizes were enormous.
Size-On - Just started using this so I can't say much yet. I have heard good things though.BMBC

Cellmass
If you have the money every single one of BSN's products will do exactly what it says. Cellmass was the first creatine i tried and after several other kinds it is still by far the best.

BSN Cell Mass!
A Creatine Ethyl Ester is going to be better than other creatine products.
Ethyl Ester, when compared to other creatine products, still has same quality results with a lower water rentention rate and a higher muscle absorbtion rate!
All this means is that you won't have all that extra water weight and the whole "bloded" feeling afterward.
In this catagory, you can't go wrong with BSN Cell Mass.
-Creatine Product of the Year in 2005, 06, & 07!
-Contains 2000 MG Glutamine AKG (muscle recovery)
-Only $36.95
-2 flavors to choose from which both taste great!

MHP - TRAC Extreme NO
MHP - TRAC Extreme NO is by far my favorite creatine product to date.
I've used several generic micronized creatines over the years and I've also tried a couple different CEEs. To date, none of the creatines I have tried have worked as well as MHP - TRAC Extreme NO. Several years ago when I took this product, I was a skinny kid fresh out of high school, I used two tubs of this during a 6 month period. I had never used any supplement before, and I was just starting to lift weights. During that 6 month period I went from 6'0" 135lbs - 170lbs. My bench went from 95lbs - 200lbs, deadlift went from 85lbs - 275, and my squat went from 65lbs - 285 and that's ass to grass squats! I don't know what my body fat percentage was at the end of those 6 months... but I did have very visible abs. Obviously I was small, frail and weak at the beginning of this period; as long as I was lifting and eating I would of gotten pretty good results. But I always credit most of my quick gains and results to MHP - TRAC Extreme NO. The logs I kept you could see a straight line of steady increases in all my lifts. Then you would see big increases when I started taking this product. For example, if my bench was going up 5lbs a week, as soon as I started taking this product it would go up 10lbs a week. And the same with my squats and deadlifts. I am working on my c.s.c.s. now so I already have a lot of people going to me for advice and this is always the product I recommend to them. Those who I recommended to try MHP TRAC all have agreed with me that this is the best creatine that they have tried.
As soon as I find a better product I'll recommend that, but for now, this and ZMA are the best things I have taken.Last edited by tinman15; 11-06-2007 at 08:40 AM.
