Can anyone tell me what is so special about German Creatine? I was looking at a couple of bodybuilding sites and most of the pros choose German Creatine over American Creatine. Why is this?

Not just any German creatine, but Creapure brand German creatine. It is the most independently analyzed and cleanest (lowest levels of impurities) creatine on the market. That's why I like it.

I just went to Yahoo and typed in Creapure Creatine and a lot of different "creapure" came up. Can you give me a link where I can get the exact product you are talking about cheap.

thanks

Creapure does not sell direct. It is a brand which is used by only a few companies in their products - Universal Nutrition and Prolab I know are two of them.

Ok, That is cool! Do you know much about 1-AD? I started taking it and am getting fu@#$%g crazy in the gym. This stuff is way out of control. I am not sure if I can hang with it. If I am not mistaking it is made by ErgoPharm. Are there any serious side effects that are common with this?
