Many forms of creatine - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Chris4Pez · 13-09-2007, 02:55 PM

As you all know there are far too many choices in creatine and other supplements available that we all get confused which ones to buy (well i know i am lol) so if any1 knows of any giid creatine thats going to work well then please let me know!

It was suggested to me by a friend to try cee-pro or cell tech what do you guys think about these ones??

Plain and simple Creatine Mono - you cant re-invent the wheel.

Chris4Pez · 13-09-2007, 03:01 PM

Yeh but which one though e.g which make and what product for instance muscle tech do about 2 maybe 3 or more creatine products so do other companies this is where it gets a little confusing!

Do you use creatine if so which one do you use? If not which 1 would you/any1 suggest?

ah24 · 13-09-2007, 03:13 PM

Any pure creatine monohydrate for me.
At the moment im using myproteins version.

Chris4Pez · 13-09-2007, 04:10 PM

But as long as its pure creatine Monohydrate you aint really bothered is that correct??

Chris4Pez · 13-09-2007, 04:11 PM

do you prefer the tablets or the powder? which ones do you think work better?

ah24 · 13-09-2007, 05:31 PM

Yes aslong as its creatine mono with no sh1t added to it im good.
I prefer powdered form.

try CEE tabs from myprotein bro. i couldnt take creatine before as i would throw up taking the powder monohydrate but on the caps it is all good

I use scitec CEE Extreme, find it works great.

CEE is CEE. There are only a couple of factories who make it worldwide so if you want to pay for the middleman (i.e. a shop) then buy a retail version otherwise buy exactly the same stuff direct.

Creatine Mono is different as their are quite a few factories who make it worldwide. Some isn't as good, but these days its very nearly as good as Creapure.

We test our CM and it comes in at 99.9% pure. We also stock Creapure (which is identical to Creapure sold by Reflex for example) which we buy direct from Degussa in Germany and it purity is 99.99% so only 0.01% difference.

We have got samples of some CM a few years ago and it was poor, but now we use only selected high quality factories which we have actually visited ourselves before becoming one of our preferred suppliers.

Thanks

I switched from CEE to Kre alkalyn just over a week ago and i must say i've had really good weeks training. There is a noticiable increase in the weights i've been using, it might just be coincidental so i will carry on with my log.

Creatine monohydrate is ok but there are better compounds out there. I'd recommend tri malate creatine or esterfied creatine. Their all the same "creatine" but are basically made more water soluble by adding either malic acid or an ester. Regular creatine mono doesnt absorb as well in the body and you need to take large amounts. Adding malic acid or an ester will help make it far more water soluble thus decreasing the dosage required
eliminating bloating, cramping and other unwanted effects.

Is this based on marketing BS or fact?

How does being more water solubale make it more bioavailable?

Sounds like you are reading to many adverts!

i use cee caps use mono and kre alkalyn aswell like em all rotate between em all till u find a type u like

first4muscle · 17-11-2007, 03:54 PM

IMO i personally stick with Creatine Mono 'powder' instead of the caps as a) its much much cheaper and B) so handy to just throw into a shake.

There is a lot of variations of creatine these days but have only ever used mono so i cant really comment on that mate.
