Monohydrate is considered old school, I prefer it myself, seen best results with it. But you know how easily people get sucked into flash and fancy labels....

Thanks very much for the response. If I do try creatine it will be monohydrate.

Monohydrate is the very basic, no frills form. It's the most common only becuase it was first distributed. Since that time, there have been serveral other, more advanced methods.

Start off with some basic monohydrate. It's cheap and easy to mix.

After that, if you like it, it works, then you can investigate the 12 million other transports and advancements.

I tried creatine ester in some product a while back. Did nothing for me. But regular creatine works and so does V12.

The report as well as the articles were just there to inform you about it's usage, it's history and any concerns you might have. As far as which brand... well that is covered in the Supplement Review forum quite well. Everybody likes different things and responds in a variety of ways.

i did read the creatine report that's what got me confused. It said to use monohydrate creatine, but then after reading the forums it seemed like the was discouraged and that ester (I forgot the exact name) creatine should be used. Which one should I use?

I just found this forum and found it to be very useful. I have always said I would never take creatine, but I have still thought about taking it. I read the complete guide that is stickied and it said it was completely healthy so I thought maybe I might try it. However the the forums said that the monohydrate creatine that the complete guide talked about are a waste of money and instead I should use somethign like BSN CellMass. I am really considering that, but then I went to the teen forum (I am 17) and I saw that most people there discouraged taking any creatine. So now I am completely confused again.

Should I take it? Right now I am just using whey protein before bed, and N-Large after my workout. I also take a multi-vitamin an a multi-ammino acid pill however I am planning on stopping the amino acids when I run out. I also am planning on starting the max-ot plan this weekend. If I do use creatine should i use the monohydrate like the complete guide reccommended or should i use BSN CellMass. And if I use CellMass, can I only take one serving a day since two feels like too much.

Thank you very much
