I tried a sample of this new flavoured creatine in a Peach flavour at FitX it tasted great.
I used the growling dog Creatine Ethyl Ester years ago, the only way I could use it was with a 50ml shot glass made me gag every time.
My understanding is that there is no loading and a lower dosage on this creatine also.
Price is amazing 900g for $46
Personally I get good results from Creapure, but this may be worth a look next cycle

well not to get into any price wars it comes down to more than just price with this, the fact that the real science, not the product science im talking real published medical and science studies show that creatine mono converts into the catabolic creatinine it more or less makes you wonder what you should and shouldn't be taking. Honestly i don't buy into all the science until i try something for myself. But after using it the science rang true.
Creatine mono is basically a double positive with a single negative ie your taking 2 steps forward and 1 step backwards in terms of muscle growth. If it is in fact converting into creatinine then it is stripping muscle tissue and what of the serve you take is actual still creatine then it is anabolic to muscle growth.
So to compare creatine mono to purple k isn't really comparable creatine mono has its good points and its bad points, purple k only has the fact that it is near 100% absorbed and not converted into creatinine so therefore it is not catabolic and 100% anabolic to muscle growth, this is proven with what little dose you need to take to get results.
And like i said before i wasn't a believer in the product until i tried it, i am not one to go with the trends and i have used my fair amount of creatines, by far this so far is the best i have come across, it works it works well and the dose taken is relative to what the science suggests.
As for the price we also have a buy in bulk and save going where you get 2 or more cheaper than just 1 and once the forum sponsor ship on here is taken care of we can offer a further discount on top of that bulk discount.
I am totally not saying throw your creatine mono in the bin it certainly does work you just need to load it up and take 3-5g for it to work but like i said 2 steps forward 1 step backwards so your only taking 1 step forward at the end of the day as it will be anabolic and also catabolic to growth both at the same time.
But i am sure there are plenty of other studies well funded by supplement companies out there to dispute anything i say so i thought i'd say that now before 100 people post creatine studies up. Fact are facts use it and see for yourself.

No way. CREATINE MONOHYDRATE - 250G.
$19 for 1kg of CM from BN. 5g per day = 200 serves or 200 days worth.
I'm not saying that people could not budget for $40. I'm saying why would you want to pay that much when there are cheaper products such as CM that have been proven to work. It's value for money.
a pretty simple google search of the following returns a boat load of results on the info you want about monohydrate converting into creatinine.
search the following: "creatine monohydrate converting into creatinine"
The scientific studies that show this please.
hi mate im not a med journal or a google expert.
All i have done is been around the bush a few times taken many different forms of creatine, have taken 3-5g of creatine since i can remember and now im only taking 1.5g and getting the same results......
like i said before in the first post there will be 100 different studies which dispute anything i say and then there will be more studies to dispute what those studies say.
Just that you said there were scientific studies that prove what you were saying.
Also anecdotes are not evidence.
That is why you have to look at the overall picture and quality of studies. Looking at the overall evidence the independent studies show that Creatine Mono is still "King" the studies that talk about the negatives of creatine mono, surprise surprise, come from supplement companies selling other forms of creatine.
The common negatives brought up about CM in favor of other creatines.
1. You have to load CM
well you don't.
2. You have to cycle CM
You don't
3. CM breaks down in stomach acid
It doesn't and actually breaks down less than other forms of creatine.
Bulk supplements.com.au is awesome... I am interested. I am a creatine monohydrate guy and really rate it a an effective supplement. I am wondering whether any of y'all have tried any of the derivatives. Ethyl ester, Tri maleate, Creatinol phosphate. All are more expensive than mono...
