Is the end result the same as taking the powder form?

if you get a good and reliable company, then yes. the only problem is generally the number of capsules you must take in order to equal the same amount of regular powder... just an economics thing.

I assume you're talking about the creatine serum stuff. Everything I've read sounds a resounding, "NO!" I've never tried them myself, but everyone I've talked to had no effectt at all.

I think we all know about the creatine serum, but I think carivan was asking about creatine in pill form. Unfortunatley, most research I have read on them is not very positive, all refer back to creatine powder as the only real effective form. Now I must add, through personal experience, and many others, there is one that is heads above all others. It contains more than justs creatine though, it is called Muscle Synergy by Beverly. These are awesome, and the testimonials and real world results are nothing short of astounding. I don't push a product much, but these guys are the real deal. My advertisement....LOL....seriously, they do work.

A little reading on Muscle Synergy for anyone interested...
First, let’s take a look at the individual components:
Arginine has shown positive effects on growth hormone release (that have not always panned out in the real world), but its positive effect on nitric oxide levels is well documented. Nitric Oxide can boost muscle development, reverse muscle breakdown and enhance the body’s release of insulin.
The muscle building power of beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate has been confirmed by several studies. But, until Muscle Synergy, its promise did not translate into the real world of advanced drug free bodybuilding. · Glutamine has been used in hospitals for years to maintain lean muscle tissue and speed recovery in times of medical distress. More recently it has been embraced by the athletic community for increased protein metabolism and growth and decreased risk of overtraining.
Creatine’s ability to boost gains in strength and lean muscle mass is well recognized. You can train heavier, get more reps and recover quicker with creatine monohydrate.
Strategic mixtures of these muscle mass-promoting agents have been involved in studies at the Nassau County Medical Center in New York and the Institute of Sport and Physical Education in Warsaw Poland. These “anabolic cocktails” combined the individual ingredients above synergistically to increase muscle growth at a rate far exceeding that expected from any of the ingredients alone.
In the New York study there was a dramatic reversal of tissue wasting in AIDS patients with an Arginine / beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate / Glutamine compound. During an 8 week controlled study with 68 human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected patients, the supplement compound group gained an average of 6.6 pounds while the placebo group continued to lose lean body mass!
In Poland the effect of combining Creatine Monohydrate with beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate produced significantly greater gains in strength and lean body mass than either could alone.
Beverly’s Muscle Synergy is the first product to create a bridge from the medical research labs into the real world of non-steroid bodybuilding. Now, the same ingredients involved in the research are combined intrinsically and synergistically to build the most potent ‘super compound’ on the bodybuilding scene, Muscle Synergy.
