I bought this UN Mono Creatine today at Egonutritions.
Thinking of trying, that's why bought the cheapest one.

I am confuse with certain instructions from the label.

1. It's suggested to be taken on empty stomach.
2. Loading and maintenance cycle.
(Week 1 - Loading, 20g/day)
(Week 2-5 - Maintenance, 10g/day)
(week 6-8 - Off)
I read about cycle and some source said it's not really compulsory.

Kelv,

U may skip the loading period and save some money. It's not necessary.

Drink loads of water when consuming creatine ~!

Read the article from the link provided at previous page ~!

Cheers ~!

Ya, got read that. That's why confuse why sometimes those product label mislead newbies.
First round testing using this brand. Might change to cheaper ego in house brand next time.

yea... i skipped the loading thing.
just 5grams per day mixed with whey. (post workout)

just curious... how much do u guys take it per day?

skip loading. I just take mine post workout.

Don't really need to waste it on rest days, but thats just me not wanting to overload by body and let it get used with too many ingested supplements.

So, typically creatine only to be taken on workout day?
Normally how much? 10g/day? Before and after workout?

hi what does creatine give you? is it a requirement after take whey protein

but how good is MuscleTech CELL-Tech Hardcore?
How come is so overated?
anyone tried their fruit punch or grape flavor?

based on the reviews i gather...
"Bought the Grape flavour few days back and it has already worked wonders for me! Other than that, I find that the tast is a bit too sweet. You will have a weird 'spicy' feeling down your throat which may be attributed to the sweetness. The feeling will go away soon though. In addition it leaves weird white particles on the wall of my bottle too, which took some scrubbing to remove them. Other than that, it is a great product for all who wish to become buff!"

Muscletech products are commonly overhyped for the secret ingredients mixed into the product. Muscletech is also generally more expensive than other brands.

gosh so many threads bout creatine...mod, could you just combine it into 1 ??
another creatine thread
and another

guys, is it sugar source (eg glucolin) or sodium (isotonic) pump better ?? just for my knowledge here...

Hey man..hows the creatine working for you? Im planning on getting some myself today. I take ON protein aswell. Its either im getting the Ultimate Nutrition or the Universal Nutrition creatines.

Those of you who take creatine, I strongly suggest you read this article, it will clear up alot of issues for you:

http://www.tmuscle.com/free_online_article..._up_on_creatine

does creatine makes our skin dry?
because during loading phrase (i always do loading,so im going to follow my body)i feel like my skin is very dry,i need to put cream on it.i usually take 22gram during 7days of loading. is it too much?

creatine sucks water...22g is too much imo...try 4g pre and another 4g post workout...maintainance phase should be max 5g...

I plan to get the Ego creatine. Since its cheaper. Do u guys know how to trigger insulin spike? Which fruit juice to be added in order to create insulin spike? Since Acidic fruit juice is not suitable. On the muscleandstrength site, it suggests to mix Grape juice.

glucose or starch(complex cabs) would do the trick.

For a perfect mix of both, use a banana.

dextrose @ glucolin...for less money, just add grape juice...

Heya,

im not using creatine, but i saw some1 here using the Ego Nutritions Creatine and iv been very indecisive bout buying the ego whey... how is the Ego Brand Fairing.. hope u all don't mind me asking something out of the creatine topic..

thanks guys
Curious over Ego Brand Quality

In the long run, dextrose will prove to be a cheaper choice.
Those 300GM packs, sold in kedai ubat cina, for kids one, is the same. RM11 maybe. Pretty cheap.

buy ego or other brand all same la
why go and get cell tech la cell mass la
bazir
what u want is monohydrate minus all the crap
and ego is the best cuz of value
im using it right now
its 99.9% pure and i think it saves a lot of money
rm91 je for 1000g
i do loading but only take it upon rising (30mins after glutamine + whey) and post workout

u mean rm11 per 300gm pack or?
