Is their an alternative to creatine?

goldengloves Posts: 690 Joined: 2003/09/19	2004/02/09, 10:43 AM Curiousity got the best of me once I broke out pretty bad after taking creatine for a few weeks w/ no change in diet and I usually have a pretty clear face. Question is their an alternative to it? I've done some research and on some of the sites it said the sugars in the creatine can cause the acne but I was taking just pure creatine no flavor/no sugar w/ water. Plus I asked a few friends of mine who took it at one time and they said they broke out a little but not to bad. Other then whey anything else to give me that extra boost?

I found both worked well in conjunction with creatine. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything....

I've been using V12 for 2 cycles and have noticed great gains but haven't been supplementing with anything other than the post workout shake you've recommended. -------------- Do it now while you still can!
