Balance creatine

[Scanner]

Hi there. I'm currently using Balance effervescent creatine and it says to take 30 min before workout. There's no loading fase or anything.

Is the normal way of taking creatine better or is this the way to go now?

i've never taken any supps before so I don'y have anything to compare with.

I've got a kg of the stuff so it's gonna last me ages but should I change products when it runs out?

How do you train and how do you eat?

I am taking that type of Balance creatine as well.

Hey have a look at my other posts for my routines and nutrition.

creatine is usually used post workout and sometimes pre workout aswell to shuttle it into your body more effectively with the insulin spike from a dextrose/protein shake.

So shoul I have one before and one after with my protein shake? I'm using the Balance mass gainer protein. The creatine and protein are in the same product line. Both Balance Mass.

I use creatine before I train and after I train but I only use creatine once a day when I do cardio and the same for when I have a rest day.

Is it good to use creatine even while cutting? Or is it strictly limited to mass gain?

Ive never looked at the effervescent creatine but im assuming its comprised of mostly creatine monohydrate, the effervescent agent and not alot else? If you can afford it try get 5gm creatine in your pre and 5gm in your post workout nutrition.

Creatine is fine on a cut, it in no way hinders your fat loss goal.

One thigh I like about the Balance effervecent creatine which it is cheaper to buy compare to the other types of creatine that are out there.

Just make sure you take it out before your show if your going to do one. Creatine helps retain water, water you don't want because you will look flat on stage.

Otherwise get in to it before and after workouts :nod:

Dont know about the effervescent stuff, but I always used the good old fashioned monohydrate loaded with 20 - 25g for first week, 10g for first week, 5g for about 3 weeks 2 - 3 weeks and then go off it. Every time I would gain weight in the first week (mostly water retention ?), but all my lifts would go up as well so it was great to break out of ruts.

I use it for the same reason.

I take it first thing in the morning before breakfast, and have an extra scoop before my workout. I was already loaded from using an EAS creatine. I should have gone straight to the Balance one.

Cost me about $72 for 2.4 kg. 120 doses! cool. There are plenty of cheap products, but I like this one.

personally i prefer the pure creatine since is cheaper per dose

op - take your creatine before and after workout

take your protein before and after workout

its that simple

oh and talk to me when you want to re-order
