Ok I posted this in another thread where optimumhealth was explaning it but it was toward the end so no reply, so I hope I am getting this right with creatine you get the illusion of gaining muscle size and a temporary boost in strength. so as soon as you stop taking it all of that goes away even if you took advantage of the strength increase while taking it you will go back to doing the same amount of weight as you did before right?
Also what would be the best creatine I can buy at GNC that has a good price for what you get, or just the best in general?
oh yeah and anyone can answer lol
Thanks in advanced

ok.Creatine gives a boost in strength doing workouts and u took advantage of it.U gain bothwater and muscle weight.You stop it.You lose the water weight,retain muscle weight and strength.Hope this helps.

One more thing.GNC is way took ex.Look for a website near ur country or location.Aim for creatine monohydrate.Ive got an article about diff types of creatine .i can find it for u if u wan.
here it is:

lohking, excellent article...ive been hesitant to try creatine i think i may give it a shot

haha.no prob.I was wondering many pple would wan to undersatnd beeter the forms of creatine better to make up their minds.Why not share it? =D

People who don't take creatine for whatever purpose are missing out IMO.  If you look at almost anyone's supplement list creatine is in there.  If you ask some of the most involved guys in bodybuilding they would tell you creatine is definitely in the top 5 of supplements you must take.  Take it... its one of the few things proven to work...

OK thanks for the info what would be a good creatine brand to take I already take NO xplode so should I take the creatine that the same company makes or what is another good one to take?
Thanks again everyone 

take creatine monohydrate.Nox has stimulants if im not wrong tahts y they explain the pump here and there.All creatine mono are the same and theya re the cheapest.

Ok thank you so what would be better one a pure creatine like this one
http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2133642&cp=2167077.2108320.2102405&parentPage=family
Or a formula one like this
http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2138542&cp=2167077.2108320.2206673&parentPage=family
and what is the difference?
Thanks for all of the help everyone

all creatine mono are the same.Get it from some other websites.U can get othr creatine mono at an even cheaper price.

Thanks but what makes the formulas different form the pure creatine? 

Its in mixture w/ other things.

Buy plain creatine mono. Don't buy it from GNC. GNC=overpriced.

I Second to that.Ths only diff is thier so called special fomula.Some would use ethyl ester malate and some would claim better absorption rates.Who knows?I jus bought Universal CM 3 days ago and tried it yesterday.Boom,i could withstand fatigue level longer and it aches like **** today.Dont forget,CM is not magic powder.It allows u to work harder with better mind focus.

What is Universal CM ???
