What Creatine do you use?

[BeanBabe]

So I am looking for something to give me a pump before I work out and help me gain muscle. What do you ladies think I should use.

I really don't know that much about supplement at all. I heard that some creatines make you hold water. I tried a brand once in the past and all it did was make me gassy and hold water...no good.

What do you ladies use? Any suggestions?

I use Biotest.
It was really good...no water retention, no gas so

[Nic902]

Are you looking for something pre-workout? I use SP250 before I train and then I have creatine mono in my post-workout shake....no water retention or bloat.

I just started using Trac pre-workout. It came highly recommended. Now I am hearing mixed reviews. So far I like it.
Have any of you girls ever used it?
What do you think of the stuff?

I use the GNC brand, Creatine Monohydrate (sp?)...I get the blue raspberry flavor.

When I used creatine, I used Five Star creatine ethyl ester. Supposedly you are supposed to have less water retention with that one versus monohydrate.

BB - maybe give Kre-Alkalyn a try. I used Sci-Fit's Kre-Alkalyn and had good results with no bloat or gas.

I use Con-crete. It's advertised as the best and does not cause any bloating or gas. I was using another brand Phosogen which didn't cause bloating or gas either but didn't do much. I myself - and others!! - have noticed that I'm more pumped. I also like the fact that it's potent so you just need a little and you take it about an hour before working out. Most you have to take just before your workout - I hate mixing that stuff at the gym! I take the Con-crete just before leaving home or work and it works like a charm.

bodybuilding.com write up about Creatine Ethyl Ester Info and why its better than just plain creatine monohydrate.

If you still use Mono you are not getting your money's worth imo

I use both CEE and Mono, I read a very interesting article about the benfits of both also read some informaton that CEE is no better than mono, I don't rememeber where it was thought I didn't save that one. I guess same as anything you can find information to support both sides of the coin.
However, I use both my drink that I have during my training has CEE in it and post workout I have my 5 grams of mono together I get about 8 grams of creatine.

Also, about the water retention you mentioned that varies from person to person also some people get used to it after a couple weeks of taking it and no longer bloat.
