flavorless creatine?

anyone ever given it a try?

i could probably look it up, but is it micro or mono?  and is it worth buying instead of something else?

i was thinking just mixing it in with water and then taking the beta alanine pills with it......does that sound ridiculous, or reasonable?

I hate flavored creatine because it tastes like shxt. Just get plain creatine monohydrate, it's worked

pretty well for me. Also there is micronized creatine monohydrate which is supposed to absorb faster. I'm

switching to micronized to see if it does better.

micronized is supposed to be head and shoulders better than mono.  i guess i'll pick that up in a few minutes when i head to gnc....

tastes like crap...

Boomer,mix it with grape juice or some fruit juice. You'll need the sugar to induce an insulin spike.

i ended up buying it.  i just mix it with my protein shake, and i can't taste it

I never believed in the sugar insulin spike.

Mono is pretty much tasteless. I mix it up in whatever.

the guy that worked at GNC was embarassed......you know you walk in and they ask you if they can help you with anything, and i just said "no, i'm just here looking for some creatine".....

he went on to tell me about this liquid caps, and i said "you know that just turns to creatinine, and is excreted by the body."  he tried to argue with me for 10 minutes telling me it was better because it was liquid and it's absorbed by the body faster. 

it's embarassing when you go in there and know more than the employee

but yea, i don't know if it's any good, we shall see

I don't buy anything in GNC unless it's on ridiculous sale. And yea most of the salespeople there don't know anything. And plain creatine mono you can just get at wally world anyway.

creatine mono absorbs better with warm beverages, so mix it with coffee, tea, or yerba mate, and get the benefits of increased absorbtion, good flavour, and the energy boost and antioxidants that the beverages give you.

hmm...I wonder if that would also make it less gritty...

      Micronized doesn't get gritty or sink to the bottom. That's why I get it.


   I work at GNC and don't buy anything there unless I ask the manager to let me buy it for the store's cost.

Does micronized cost more than mono?

It costs slightly more, I pay $25 for 500 grams

It is still pretty gritty.
$25 bucks isn't a little more, most mono's sell between 12.99 and 16.99.  It is almost double the price.  Imagine if the original price was like 60 bucks like some other supps....would you buy the one for 120 a month to get rid of the grit?

    No, but I would spend $8 more for something that doesn't cause my stomach to go nuts and then bloat up my abdomen, and also doesn't get gritty.

Yea $25 is steep. I'll just take the grit and buy my $13 mono.

I think I'm gonna start taking this one.

    It's cheaper than a lot of plain mono and its micronized
