Best Overall Creatine Product?

[Tripp Doogan]

I'm always up to try new products. I've heard about SizeON too, and I cant wait to see how it works for me.

Thank you!

Alright, well I came home for lunch and on my front step was a package containing a big 'ol tub of N.O.-Xplode and Higher Power Micronized Creatine! I ordered the stuff monday from bodybuilding and it got here today....pretty fast in my opinion.

Anyway, I don't have access to a gym again till next monday. But I plan on loading for three days with 20g's of the HP. My question is...since I'm not gonna lift till monday, is it alright for me to load tonight, saturday, and sunday and then just bump down to a maintanence level monday?

I would say yes because you can take creatine on offdays anyway. I don't see why you couldn't load on offdays. Also, your muscles can take in so much creatine, so as long as you aren't eating creatine like it's candy, I think you'll be fine loading 20 grams a day.

I am currently cutting

I take whey protein, and cytosports evopro before bed time. I eat a well balanced diet, 6-7 times a day.

What do you guys think about taking cellmass? Or what is the real difference between taking cellmass and nitrix...both BSN products? It seems like both increase hardness, and size of muscles. What do you guys think?

I like CellMass a lot, but I'm not too sure about using any creatine products while cutting. Maybe in pill form or a kre-alkalyn creatine that doesn't make you bloat at all. Maybe others might have more thoughts on this.

that was a concern of mine, however I was under the impression that cellmass did not cause as much water retention

[BIG-MATT]

what do yall think of xceed? creatine ethyl ester...

im thinking of trying it out but want to see who used it and if they like it

[pittjoe33]

Are you cutting for a competition or just cutting for normal training? If for a competition, I would talk to someone before hand to see if there is bloating. If not for competition, try CellMass or SizeOn and see how it works for you.

Anyone know anything about MAX creatine monohydrate?
Here it is:

http://www.maxmuscle.com/shopmax/sto...29&criteria=28


says its by MM sports nutrition. I have the sample thing, and im now doing the loading phase, it has no flavor, it doesn't disolve in the water AT ALL, it all sinks to the bottom so you have keep shaking it around to get it all. actually I think it doesnt dissolve in the water because of this:

"Creatine degrades very rapidly after mixing or exposure to even minute amounts of water. To retain its strength and chemical structure perfectly, MM Sports Nutrition's Creatine Monohydrate is micro-crystalline, rather than the usual powder. Even in the highest humidity areas, our pure creatine resisits moisture."

Is this a good product and has anyone had good results from it? I dunno if I should get another one or use this. Anyone?

[david100proof]

creatine sucks did nothing but bloat me i used hy-power i droped it strictly bsn nos animal stack,test,on protein,and have more strength now that im off it

[aggiepower]

i am getting good results with gaspari size on, but it is a bit expensive

I keep hearing good things about this SizeON, I hope this sample will be a good sized one. I'd like to see how it works. I really dont care what it tastes like. Cell Tech was pretty nasty too, but I aint buying it for the taste. I want to SEE improvement.

[-Ironside-]

I've only tried a few creatines. The old stuff from the mid 90's worked pretty well for me. I tried CEE when it first came out and it made me feel kinda ****ty and bloated.
I'll try this size on stuff, see if that works.. so deserusan, send me a sample, chop chop. Email sent

Storm (Value, Quality, servings)

Green Magnitude (Value, Taste, servings)

SizeOn (Carbs, low Sugar, good quality, overpriced)

Beverly creatine select (Quality and effects, simple and great)

Cellmass (Taste, few extras in it, expensive)

Celltech (high Sugar, Carbs, monohydrate, overpriced and goes quick)

Xceed ( On Storm and Green Mag level almost, but half the servings for same price)

Swole (On Storm and Green mag level, but half the servings for around same price)

Bodyfortress Creatine ( A cheap version of Celltech, just as effective, loaded with carbs and sugar can be had cheap too) * Great beginner creatine on a budget*

Six Star creatine esther. Love it because it doesn't make you hold water. Goes straight into your muscles, no bloating or "puffy" look whatsoever.

Try Creatine Esther - no bloating

[RonShipman]

I agree. I used the Six Star Ethyl Ester about 2 years ago great stuff. High quality and works. No Bloat and strength increases I could feel within the first workout. Seriously. Six Star changed the product though it's like 3 different kinds of creatine, the formula looks more imressive than before but is it? I only used the original formula.

I've been on multiple brands and forms from regular creatine monohydrate to CEE, Creatine gluconate, and creatine chelate.

My winner is Gaspari's Size-On (creatine gluconate)

Runner-up = Controlled Labs Green Magnitude (creatine chelate)

Monohydrate gets third

...and unfortunately even though Cell Mass tastes absolutely amazing, it has done nothing significant for me.

[spin1200]

I agree, with the size on. Also stacking with sci-fit kre-aklyn was a great lean mass builder for me.

[jdjprimer19]

Anyone tried beta-alanine in conjunction w/ creatine?

[betotey]

Fizogen's Mass Cycle worked great for me. Very good post workout supplement.

[richc]

i have used the bsn stack , cellmass, nitirix and no explode in the past with good results, i didnt feel bloated and my muscles were looking pretty solid, unfortunately i didnt manage to keep most of my gains due to the fact that i decided to cut and did it wrong, what i got was severly overtrained, i lost a lot of weight but i think a lot of it was muscle along with the fat

i am using creakic and nanovapor right now, i feel strong and my workouts are great but i think my muscles look a little puffy and i feel bloated as hell after taking the nanovapor. i am about to try another cutting cycle, well see how much of my gains stay with me this time.

[eg8b18c]

SIZE ON by Gaspari Nutrition gets my vote. It tastes great, and I immediately gained plenty of mass and strength from it.

[trueathlete]

I would seriously give Hard Nutritions new Sizeagen a try. We are running testers on company promotions. Not trying to be a troll, just give it a shot.

The Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutriton has published a head-to-head comparison of Creatine Pyruvate, Citrate and Monohydrate. Its a peer-reviewed scientific journal...

Has anyone experience with those forms of Creatine?

Nice find, These forms of Creatine are pretty old . They were the first to come out after Mono. I tried Creatine Citrate back in 1996 and it did squat for me. Funny how they study those now but they are hardly used now.

Email sent, I've been trying to decide what creatine product to try next, you win!

SizeOn is gross but the energy is wow. and for creatine for me Superpump is my favorite so far

[thedrivenone]

I'm trying to get lean and chiseled, should I take creatine?

From some I workout with they say I should because it will increase my endurance and give me some more energy, while some other said that it's very high maintainence and it may actually bloat your stomach rather than let it be cut. So, if I want to be able to develop a lean body with a 6-pack, should I take creatine monohydrate or will it cause bloating in my stomach area?
