Choosing A Creatine

If you're looking to add strength and lean muscle mass, creatine monohydrate is for you. Of all the supplements to come down the pike in the past decade or so, creatine has the most clinically proven track record.  Supplementing with creatine increases ATP production measurably. This results in greater explosive strength and overall work load capacity during training sessions.

What will creatine do for you?

Put very simply, the average person can expect to gain 6-12lbs of muscle in the first two weeks of using creatine.  Creatine is one of the oldest, most tried and true supplements on the market.  The reason it hasn't gone away like so many other hyped up miracle supplements is because it simply works.  Everyone knows that outside of using steroids, the easiest way to put on some weight quickly is by using creatine.

What type of creatine should you use?

For beginners looking for a place to start, I suggest started with a pure creatine powder and mix it up with some juice. It's very economical and should work well for you.  I recommend  Prolab Creatine . Nothing fancy here. Just a high-quality creatine powder at an unbeatable price.

If you are more advanced looking to really blow out your muscles, and prefer an absolutely cutting edge creatine formula, check out the Cell Tech Hardcore from MuscleTech. It's my personal favorite. This formula adds mass like nothing else.

Quality counts big-time with creatine

One final thought on maximizing your results with creatine: be sure the creatine you’re using is of the highest quality. There are literally dozens of bargain basement creatine companies out there in the health shops and particularly on the web. Most of these companies are selling very low-grade creatine. Some of the creatine powder out there, for instance, is only 30% to 50% pure—I know, I’ve seen the clinicals. With creatine, as with most supplements in general, it’s better to pay a few dollars more for high-quality products than to go the bargain basement route where you also end up skimping on results.

We carry a lot of great creatine products, but f you aren't quite certain which one to go with I suggest giving the ones I mentioned a try.  You can't beat their quality and price.
