Who's creatine works best?

Bodybuilding.com's Message Boards: Supplements: All posts dealing with Creatine: Who's creatine works best?
By Anonymous on Sunday, January 02, 2000 - 08:06 pm: Edit

I was wondering what companies creatine works best. In powder form. I don't believe in wasting a shitload of money for sugar! I've tried met-rx micronized creatine and even gnc's pro performance with very poor results. I heard all creatine is manufactured from the same place so it really doesn't matter what brand you buy, your only paying excess money for their advertisements. Your thoughts, opinions, experiences??

Prolab or EAS, though I've only used EAS Creatine as of now. I am about to hop on the band wagon using Prolab.. so ill see how that goes.

MUSCLETECH'S CELL-TECH IS OVER 500% MORE EFFECTIVE THAN REGULAR CREATINE! YOU'LL EXPERIENCE STEROID-LIKE GAINS FROM IT! MOST OF THE TOP PROS SWEAR BY IT! GREG KOVACS, AARON MADDRON, HENDERSON THORNE EVEN A TOP QUALIFIER IN THIS YEAR'S OLYMPIA USES IT! (I CAN'T REVEAL HIS NAME BECAUSE HE IS UNDER CONTRACT FOR ANOTHER SUPPLEMENT COMPANY, HE SAYS CELL-TECH IS BETTER THAN THE STUFF HE PROMOTES!)

Hey Man! Try AST Creatine HSC! It tastes great and contains many ingredients that help the creatine get absorbed into your muscles better!

By Billy Bob on Saturday, January 22, 2000 - 06:15 am: Edit

Prolab, Biochem and Universal all use Crea-pure creatine from Germany. If you buy any of these brands, you will get the same creatine-just in a different bottle. Crea-pure is good, it works. I tried Met-Rx micro creatine too and it worked great, but I realize everyone will not respond the same to every supplement.

dont u think diff kinds of creatine works for diff kind of ppl... i dont know why u guys argue about who takes the better creatine..some of u guys need to get a life and let ppl take whatever kind of creatine they want! if they make gains with what they have then whor u to be tellin them that the brand that u take is better?

By KG729 on Thursday, February 03, 2000 - 12:04 am: Edit

Creatine is creatine as long as it's 99% pure. The
problem with most of the creatine supplements out on the market right now are that they are LOADED with sugar and carbs. Read the lable. If you are on a low-carb diet you may be blowing it all on creatine. I suggest Met-rx. They are reputable. They are giving away 40% more free on their plain protein right now.

Prosource has some ••••••• awsome creatine for a low price, they even send you the lab assay that came with your batch.

Lab analysis, is saying about how pure is the creatine you use, but they say NOTHING about impurities of creatine, that can be hazardous for your health. Simply buy any brand that has the label "creapure", in every bottle, such as Twinlab, Prolab, Universal, or Sci-Tek creatine (Guaranteed also for non existing impurities).

CREAPURE means every bottle has an independent
lab to tell whats in the bottle. In other words,
all the material is tested every time they
manufacture a batch.

EAS's phosphagen HP and AST's CREatine supplement are the best.not only do they taste GREAT but each batch is CERTIFIED Pure and accurate with it's content.
i've been on both for 4 weeks and my biceps went up from 15 inches to 16.5 inches.that is results.the kind you can get from TRUST WORTHY
SUPPLEMENT COMPANIES.
Muscle tech is SHIT.totaly BOGUS and a complete scam.Cell tech is shit.Greg kovak gets allot of money to claim he gains mass with cell tech,and if you look at his absolutely DISGUSTING body,anyone can tell that he is on steriods.
muscle tech sucks....and forever will...
EAS and AST are the BEST.
the power of REAL SCIENCE....

By PZA ( - 208.3.198.115) on Sunday, June 11, 2000 - 12:42 pm: Edit

any pre mixed formula(one that has carbs already mix with the creatine)you use will not give you an accurate amount time after time.the reason being is that creatine and carbs dont weigh the same so say your creatine is supposed to have 5 grams of creatine and 42 grams of carbs per serving,one time you'll get 2 grams of creatine and 70 grams of carbs the next time you could get 9 grams of creatine and 20 grams of carbs.buy pure creatine and mix it with carbs yourself not only will it be a hell of alot cheaper but you'll get precise doses every time.

By Bill from Pa ( - 205.188.197.187) on Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 06:39 am: Edit

I feel that there are many different Effective types of creatine on the market today. They are all basically the same. I used EAS's phosphogen and got great results. Then I started to use a local muscle stores creatine (a brand name creatine, much cheaper) and received the same results. Most creatine is the same but watch when u start getting into creatine mixed drinks, that is when all the carbs and extra sugars come in. Also most are stocked with antioxidants to increase the absorption of creatine. All of these are good features, but only to certain people. Experience for yourself.

By John ( - 212.120.195.54) on Thursday, September 28, 2000 - 07:14 am: Edit

Since you mentioned EAS'S Phosphagen, l have heard that Bill Phillips will withdraw it soon from the market, because he has introduced a new Creatine with the name "SyntheVol HP"
and it contains in every 44gr serving,
Selenium (as sodium selenate) 50mcg, Alpha Lipoic Acid 200mg, Creatine Monohydrate 10 g, Taurine 1g, Hydrolyzed Wheat Gluten (as a source of Glutamine Peptide) 5g, L-Arginine 3.25g and
Inzitol (D-Pinitol) 50mg.

I heard a buddy of mine talkin about cell tech creatine. He swears by it and has made noticeable gains. I never took any kind of creatine and am curious about good products to start with.

By fitforlife ( - 64.123.119.125) on Thursday, February 22, 2001 - 03:07 am: Edit

Cell-Tech is a ripp off. Just buy some creapure, or ultrapure creatine. You can't go wrong here, and it will last you a lot longer than Cell-Tech.

By Anonymous ( - 129.10.174.118) on Thursday, February 22, 2001 - 03:46 am: Edit

why? Don't you guys see how great and swear the pros by this product. If Aaron Madron and Dexter Jackson look good using this stuff, it must be works. It's just a common sense.

By NightGoat ( - 24.185.54.162) on Tuesday, March 27, 2001 - 06:57 am: Edit

Celltech is perhaps the best creatine product available, and I say this having used and received gains from EAS's phosphagen.

By fitforlife HH on Wednesday, March 28, 2001 - 01:14 am: Edit

Cell Tech is perhaps the most over priced supplement on the earth. I can tell you I carry a product that is identicle, or better then Cell-Tech, and it is like $15 less then Cell-Tech, plus it also has creapure in it....

You got took........ It is nothing but dextrose, and creatine. And some other goodies tossed in to make it look like it transports creatine better. Compare a product from another company; I won't list who, but I sell it for $29.99. And the Cell sales for $47.99. Do the math....

They ripp people off.

By Jason ( - 203.76.17.27) on Wednesday, March 28, 2001 - 10:29 am: Edit

Cell Tech does work, but it wont give you any more results than another good creatine. The only difference as fitt mentioned is you pay extra for absolutely nothing.

Regarding the transdermal methoxy mass, thats the one I tested out when 18 of us tested out various methoxy products. It doesnt work. We also proved that none of the other methoxy products work. Read my thread, the subject line is " everyone PLEASE read " but obiously very few people have.

Anon. Creatine does not act nothing like a steroid. Creatine is something found in protein, and you are just boosting supply of something you take in everyday. Creatine is 100% natural. There is no way you can ever have acne or mood swings from creatine. It is not hormonol, or chemical like steriods are. If you you punch holes in walls, pick fights, and are taking creatine it just means you are an asshole.

By NH77 (24.50.180.106) on Thursday, July 19, 2001 - 03:19 am: Edit

if you are looking for the best creatine go with the best known brands (GNC, prolab, EAS, etc.). if you buy from a little shity brand you can bet that its going to be 100% kool-aid or some shit. CELL-TECH IS COMPLETE SHIT PERIOD. sure Greg Kovacs is huge and he supposedly uses CELL-TECH, and it may be only 49.99 or whatever but what they dont say is that he goes through tens of thousands of dollars worth of steroids as well. all the supplement companies want from you is your money if you dont like their product they could give a horses ass because they already have your money. that is the incentive behind every supplement company. some are just better at it than the others like MUSCLE-TECH. so if you really think you can look like greg kovacs in 30 days by using CELL-TECH, forget about it. you might have a little more energy because its just sugar.

By BigJ HH (66.68.101.113) on Thursday, July 19, 2001 - 07:21 am: Edit

yes for the 5000th time cell tech is crap, buy a good micronized creatine with the creapure label like prolabs or met-rxs

When do we start, I've been dying to sell my armpithair as a potent musclebuilding precursor. We can sell it for 75 bucks for 60 grams. Think about how many testosterone metabolites their are in unwashed armpit hair from a competitive bodybuilder. This is a goldmine we are sitting on.

We can call it Pitabol, Nitro-Pit. Better yet, DecaPit or underarm factor HP.

Wait until we run out of armpit hair and move on to my bikiniline. How do names like this sound ?

Pubic Power, Horny Cat Weed, Urinabol, Testrapinol (with the test standing for testicular), Pubic-tech or BO-7 ?

You should pitch High Power for that name with your new stack. Or maybe Bobodinol. Thats sounds damn good.

MuscleTech is a scam Brother. Creatine is Creatine is Creatine. Pick a decent brand at a decent price and go with it. Human Developement makes very good affordable Creatine.

By Mohammed (130.111.49.40) on Friday, September 28, 2001 - 09:05 pm: Edit

Try ANSI Micronized Creatine Monohydrate. It has 30mg Alpha Lipoic Acid and it's way cheaper than Cell-Tech.. Cell-Tech has about 70g of carbs per serving, so add you Micronized Creatine to a 16oz Grape juice.. Believe me, you will get Steriod Like results... Take 10g in the morning and 10g after workout or 12 hours later on nonworkout days.. That would be for the first five days. After that take 5g in the morning and 5g right after workout or 12 hours later in nonworkout days.. Also, you could just take 10g at once after your workout..
