I know there have been quite a few threads about creatine, but I'd like to start a more update one. What do you guys think as of right now, is the best creatine supplement on the market? i've tried trac and gnc pro performance liquid (i know, but it was free). Let me know what you guys take/have taken, and what you think is the best.

In the end, the best product for the money, and one that will work as well on a dollar for dollar basis is a pure creatine monohydrate (as pure as you can get).

AtLarge's product fits the bill.

Give it a try at www.atlargenutrition.com . You won't be disappointed.

Most will say ixnay on the GNCay, but I worked there previously so I got a discount and I bought a 2000g bucket of creatine monohydrate, and it worked for me and I still have a few servings of it left before I try atlarge's creatine. I think if you get any creatine monohydrate from somebody thats not selling on the street corner you'll be ok. atlarge does have a decent price so why not try them out

I'm going to try out atlarge. but also, just somewhere to look for you guys. i looked up www.supplementdirect.com. 500g of creatine for $9.99. I'm not saying atlarge doesn't have great value, but $10...hard to beat.

you need to look at what kind of Creatine it is before comparing prices

Brand really doesn't matter. If it's creapure, you're good to go. The difference most companies have is the delivery mechanism. All you need is some dextrose for that.

i checked up on it, and it is creapure. so im gonna go w/ it. cuz i compared the supplement direct creatine monohydrate w/ creatine 500, and saw they both deliver 500g of creatine monohydrate. no difference really, not that i can see anyways.

There are a bunch of companies that use Creapure

CREAPURE (Creatine Monohydrate)
Degussa produces the purest creatine monohydrate worldwide under its trademarked name - CREAPURE. While many creatine products look exactly alike - a fine white, tasteless and odorless powder - their ingredients often differ in quality. Products of lesser purity are know to contain three basic impurities; creatinine, dicyandiamide and dihydrotriazine derivatives. The first two chemical substances contribute nothing to a healthy diet and are consequently excreted by the kidneys. The pharmaceutical and toxicological properties of dihydrotriazine derivatives (generated as byproducts during creatine synthesis) are unknown and should thus be avoided in the diet. Degussa's CREAPURE (R) is free of these impurities.
