Creatine Matrix - What do you guys think? - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

SA12 · 08-09-2005, 03:14 PM

I have attached the Nutritional Facts about a product I am thinking of getting. What do you guys think?

Bigdav · 08-09-2005, 03:18 PM

id say just get plain creatine, 7g in one go is likley to be too much for your gut to handle, plus it would likley be cheaper to buy all those products individually and put them together into a better product yourself, theyre actually charging you for sugar in this product?

why bother whn you can make it up yourself and it would likley be better for you and cheaper

This stuff actually costs £24.99 per KG plus £1 postage.

I am tempted to try it out because apart from the sugar all the other ingredients would cost more than the price to put togeather I think?? Can you reccomend anywhere to get the individual items cheaply?

Cheers

the creatine you should be able to get from most places for around £20-25 per kilo, most bulk buy online stores should ba able to give you the other ingredients for pretty cheap too, bump for someone who knows any good one.

personaly i wouldnt bother with some of the ingredients anyway, the hca, vanadyl and chromium with your creatine hasnt been shown to make any difference as far as ive seen, plus the glutamine is on the low side for my liking, 5-10 g per serving would be better

Ok thanks for the advice m8ty

Will wait and see if anyone else can shed some light on what is best in with the creatine and where to buy it from

i think you should get v12 turbo from san nutriton i gained 5 pounds of pure muscle in 1 month. it costs around £40 a tub which lasts a month from www.monstersupplements.co.uk

the best forms of Creatine out at the moment are the Ethyl Ester ones the top 2 in my opinion are
CNP E2
BSN Cellmass

SA12 · 08-09-2005, 04:58 PM

Is this combo any better?

This once costs £30 including delivery and contains the CEE instead of monohydrate.

IMO creatine is creatine, I just get simple mono hydrate and then drink it with a sugary drink 5g twice ED

£18.95 for 1kg of creatin mono 1kg = 400 days supply:lift:

yeah definatly wiht u on that great one..works fine for me

**Pscarb** · 08-09-2005, 08:26 PM

no you are incorrect creatine isn't creatine ..thats like saying protein is protein...

only approx 40% of Creatine Monohydrate gets absorbed into the muscle this is one of the reasons for the bloat when using plain creatine...creatine Ethyl Ester has a 96% absorbtion rate therefore no bloat or stomach cramps...

So do you think that second one with the CEE for £30 a KG is a good buy m8?

Powder that one m8...

I can get a tub of 120 capsules for £10.99 with 1200mg of Creatine Ethyl Ester HCL per capsule only. Which do you think would be the better option m8?

**Pscarb** · 09-09-2005, 03:26 PM

well being powder you have 2 problems..
1. it normally taste like crap..
2. you cannot garentee the amounts you get per scoop..

capsules i think are better in general between 2-3mg per serving twice a day is sufficient..
