The creatine I have says 1 scoop which equals 48g and to take it before and after. Can this be right? It seems like way to much!!! It made me sick to my stomach. Thanks in advance

Is it plain creatine monohydrate, or something like cell tech that has other junk mixed in with it?

I am taking the Super Advanced Creatine HP by bodyfortress.
This is the link to the web page http://www.bodyfortress.com/pages/productDetail.aspx?PPID=11

I know the spike insulin does not do much for you but I am in afghanistan and I do not have much selection.

The serving size is 48g you're correct. But if you read on, there are only a little over 6 g of creatine (6,119 mg creatine monohydrate, creatine ester phosphate, creatine ethyl ester).

The rest is made up of fillers. ie there are 33 g of sugar in one scoop.

A simple creatine monohydrate or CEE would be better, but having limited options I see your point. It isn't too much creatine, just make sure to watch the rest of your sugar/carb intake.

well I guess I will order a monohydrate when I get a chance but I will use this one up first. I will work my way up to the full amount
