Was looking for a new supplement to try, seems EAS Betagen is off the market for whatever reason and I tried Green Magnitude last which I didn’t particularly care for. I usually take a creatine supplement or the like, for 2-3 months during the softball season. Any recommendations for the latest & greatest? Thanks in advance.

just out of curiosity, what's the benefit of scooping it in your mouth and drinking the grape juice? why not mix it in with the grape juice?

The powder you usually get more on a cost/per use avg, monohydrate ftw and just go to your local Vitamin Shoppe. Take with 8oz of juice.
My only question is should you cycle creatine, for how long? I've heard yes and no.

Because you don't waste any that way, if you mix it a good portion stays in the glass. Also, grape juice = the sugar cataylst.
The powder is what I'm interested in, just need some brand names that are good. Looks like the monohydrate is preferred?

Yea go with mono and you dont need to scoop it into your mouth lol. I have taken creatine for years and never done this. You can mix it in with anything you want it all gets the job done. When im done drinking it though i rinse it with water and drink the rest that sticks to the glass. No you dont have to cycle creatine can stay on it at all time. Just go to local vittamin shoppe get there brand, there all the same.

wow that sounds ****ing awful lol
My boss used to take it that way. Get it all out of the way instead of drinking a horrible tasting beverage.
One of the things I've read on the negative effects of Creatine is that it can cause you to over heat. Is this a rare thing or a serious concern for those of us down here where it's hot as Hades?

rare. for me at least. when taking creatine you should always want to keep really hydrated anyways

As previously stated, I scoop it in my mouth so I know exactly what I'm intaking. When taking creatine, I generally use one gram for every 7 pounds of body weight because your body doesn't absorb too much of the creatine. So for me, that is 35 grams a day spread out.
That isn't for everyone though.

I've never heard this --- and never seen a single study that shows more than 5 grams is more effective. I'd think 35g would/could be dangerous for your kidneys??

as effective as any creatine mono.

I should have added that I don't run this for long periods of time and I pyramid this. A lot of the creatine you take doesn't get absorbed into the body and that is why I've taken so much in the past.
I would generally take it along with my protein shakes and post workout.
It is definitely a high level and I'm not suggesting that anyone do it this way, just saying what I've done in the past.
With that said, I couldn't tell you the last time I've used creatine. It has been quite a few years.

I use Creatine 500 from atlargenutrition.com. 1 small teaspoon scoop a day and I have noticed a difference.
