Best Creatine?

[liftathomeguy]

I'm a fan of creatine, and the latest brand I bought is MuscleTech Cell-Tech. Seemed kinda on the pricey side! It works I guess, but no different to any other creatine I've tried, really. Can the good wise folks here at nzbb please give an opinion on what is the best all round effectiveness+value for money creatine availiable?

Creatine monohydrate scientifically proven to be better than any other form of creatine..

Creapure is the purest type of creatine out there, made in germany, and not in china. I know PVL use it, and i know there are others.

For the record, creapure is a brand of creatine monoydrate.

I'm pretty new to the creatine world but thus far my experience has been

First one I used was Balance Creatine Micro Mono, did two teaspoons a day, morning and night, felt the effects of being able to do extra reps on my working sets after about 2 - 3 weeks.

Balance Creatine Effervescent, only ever took this 30mins before resistance training which was 4 - 5 times a week, IMO not much different to the above in terms of pushing out extra reps but do know its full of other stuff you don't really need.

Now on NFS Kry-Alkalyn PH correct capsules, only been on it for 5 days after taking a week off from training, apparently its effects are suppose to be a bit more efficient with its delivery/regeneration of ATP, will soon know in a week or 2 I guess.

Creapure as already mentioned.

Reactiv uses it...

above post-agreed. Germans make high quality stuff. no doubt. one of the most inteligent efficient groups of people in the world.

EAS phospagen worked great for me. body science creatine monohydrate worked great too.

Cell tech is 10, 000 times more powerful then regular creatine.

I have used EAS phospagen creatine I thought it worked good for me.

Definitely Creapure creatine monohydrate.

I've found German manufacturing to be the best with pretty much every product I've bought that comes out of that country. They make quality cars, boots, cosmetics... Their manufacturing standards are very high, and I'd trust something manufactured there over other parts of the world every time.

As mentioned by someone else on the thread, Reactiv sell Creapure creatine monohydrate. I've found Reactiv to be good to deal with and delivery is prompt.

Creapure aside, HPLC testing is a good benchmark when purchasing a supplement. It should state whether it's been HPLC tested on the label.

HPLC = High Performance Liquid Chromatography http://www.pharm.uky.edu/ASRG/HPLC/HPLCMYTRY.html

Is this the stuff your talking about

If not could you send me a link of where i can buy cheers

Yes it is, but the reactiv stuffis (in theory) exactly the same, but $5 cheaper (which is quite a lot when it comes to spending around 30 dolars). It is also exactly the same as the PVL]CreaMAXX, which is $3 more expensive.

Just for the record, I'm talking about CreaPure (the German brand) and not HPLC.

Oh, and if you can find a friend who wants to also get some, then you can get bulk discounts at Reactiv. buying 4 works out at just over $21 a tub...
