Are Twin Lab creatine pills any good? I've read that creatine powder is better than pills, with a few exceptions. I recently bought Twin Labs creatine pills because they are easy to take and I didn't know that most creatine pills were useless, so I'm hoping Twin Labs makes quality pills so I didn't blow my money.

By the way, I've read that creatine serum is also useless, but the proceeding article says otherwise. It also says that loading isn't necessary. Is this true?

I have never run across any creatine in pill form that was good. I have(well my wife did) buy some Twinlab creatine pills...she bought them for me not knowing. I thanked her of course but knew they were not worth anything.

Hope you have good luck with them. By the way, there are tons of creatines that do not have sugars.

And save your money on the creatine serum. Reading that thread, which first off is from bb.com, I would assume it is very old. And this is directly from the article you state...The major down side to liquid creatine is it is very hard to make. If creatine is just mixed in a liquid it starts to breakdown into a waste product (creatinine) after about 20 minutes.

Muscle Tech was sued over this, as their creatine was tested and found to contain something like 1% of what they said it had.
