ONE LAST CREATINE QUESTION!

cl909 Posts: 25 Joined: 2003/08/06	2003/08/06, 06:24 AM I know this question may have come up. I'm new to the site and I have tried Cell-Tech Creatine. I found that Cell-Tech has given me the real gains. But its too expensive and I'm spending an arm and a leg on that stuff. Some people have said Pro Lab Creapure and Optimum Creapure is good. I just want to see results. I am taking Biotest MRP, Hydroxycut (8 capsules a day), Creatine and glutamine. 1.) Is their any products that combine creatine and glutamine? 2.)Whats a good, effective creatine product that will work and not as expensive as Cell-Tech. 3.)How is EAS's creatine. 4.) Some people swear that some creatine is better than others..others say all creatine monohyrdate is the same. Whats true?

Animal Max 2) I prefer just the old fashioned powder, but if you're looking for a combo product, then Cell Pro by Universal (which also uses exclusively the Creapure brand). You can get 1 kg for less than $25. 3) Garbage 4) Creapure Creatine is the cleanest and most analyzed on the market. It was the only one that helped me with substantial strength gains without the negative side effects, such as stomach problems. Hope this helps. Good luck... -------------- Michael "Trample the weak; hurdle the dead!"

Im sure Ill get flamed for saying this- but Cell-Tech SUCKS. So damn expensive and gave me stomach cramps from hell. Optimum before my workout and 5g of Glut are my fave off cycle. ============ Quoting from bhardy: rev8ball, Can you tell me the brands you use for protein and glutamine? Also, I have heard that the flavoured creatine and glutamine is counter productive. i.e a pure kind should simply be mixed with water. Is this true? thanks =============

joe5572 Posts: 14 Joined: 2003/08/02	2003/08/06, 06:13 PM I would ALWAYS take Glut. But with Creatine- I only go on 40 days at a time with 40 off. Sorry- that was my bad in describing it earlier. ============ Quoting from cl909: thanks rev8ball.....yeah i will look into creapure.

You find out about manufacturing procedures, raw materials, lab essays, quality control, marketing, etc., as well as personal experience. -------------- Michael "Trample the weak; hurdle the dead!"
azredhead57 Posts: 1,651 Joined: 2003/04/11	2003/08/08, 03:10 PM Can you only find creapure creatine on the internet. I looked at 6 different kinds last night at the drug store and none of them said that on the label. So my next question is if 'garbage' brands are all you can find, or for some, afford, is it better than nothing or just a waste of money? -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills
rev8ball Posts: 3,081 Joined: 2001/12/27	2003/08/08, 08:54 PM Universal, Prolab, and, I believe, Optimum, all use Creapure currently. All 3 are big companies, so you should be able to get them at any supplement store. -------------- Michael "Trample the weak; hurdle the dead!"
