Creatine Supplement Guide - Complete Creatine Guide!

Editor note: this review is from guest poster Valerie Campbell.

With all the hype that surrounded creatine, it is a small wonder that there are a lot of companies out there that sell their own version of the naturally occurring component.

Products have come forward claiming that they are the most efficient of the lot. While some of them exactly do as they claim to do, some however, do not. One of the best selling products out there is Cell Tech Creatine.

If you have been seriously thinking about buying a creatine supplement, this product is one of those that you should consider. Why? Here are the reasons that you should think about.

It is efficient

When it comes to efficiency, Cell Tech Creatine is one of those that have been said to do its job. How does it do the job? This product contains some ingredients that enhance the production of insulin. Insulin production can affect the creatine supplement’s performance greatly. As you know, insulin has the primary function of managing the cellular energy levels. It allows the energy cellular unit to go inside the cell and be used. This is why when you have increased insulin levels the sugar levels in the blood will go down since this (sugar) is one of the major sources of energy.

Check this out, you can pick up 5lb whey protein powders for under 30 bucks with free shipping! I know this is not creatine, but it’s definitely worth the post! Check it out:

Some people believe that liquid creatine is better than powder creatine, such as Universal Nutrition creatine, or perhaps the other way around and that powder creatine is better than liquid.  Actually, neither party is correct — whether you take creatine by liquid or powder, you will receive the same results.

With that being said, however, there are differences in the way you supplement with liquid creatine as opposed to its creatine powder counterpart.  The most obvious difference with liquid creatine is the method of supplementation, in addition to its dosage size being different from a powder.  We’ll go over the differences between these two delivery vehicles for creatine in this post.

Q: I’ve been using creatine for years and have tried many types (creatine monohydrate, citrate, malate, etc.)—some with better results than others. I’ve now been hearing about a new type of creatine and am wondering if it’s worth trying. What is this “creatine ethyl ester”? Is it a better form of creatine? What do you know about it?

A: The first question we need to clarify is what do you mean by better? Yes, there is reason to believe creatine ethyl ester (or CEE) is probably more soluble than creatine monohydrate (Cr.H20) or other forms of creatine. And, as solubility affects transport over biological membranes (such as muscle cells), it probably is taken up into your muscles more effectively. Meaning, you can load it faster. However, whether this leads to a greater accumulation of creatine in your muscle, at the end of a five-day loading phase, compared to creatine monohydrate, is relatively unknown. At least, there’s no human data as of yet that can support or dispute this claim.

Today I thought I’d post the video of one of my favorite creatine supplements, Gaspari’s SizeOn. SizeOn is pretty much the only post workout creatine product that I have heard nothing but good comments about. If it was a bit cheaper, I think it would be the best selling creatine supplement by a long shot! Anyway, check out this video, there’s some good info on there.

Edit: if you want to try SizeOn you can now get it in a smaller size for $17.99.

For more on SizeOn read this page or check out Gaspari’s Website.
