Just finished off a bottle of Optimal Creatine Monohydrate. In your opinion, is monohydrate not the way to go? I've heard differing opinions about monohydrate, HCl, alkalyn. Thanks

Creatine Monohydrate is the most studied and most effective. And it's cheaper than others listed

Just plain monohydrate. No need for anything else with fillers and sugars added. Get micronized if you want, but I haven't found that it dissolves any easier than regular monohydrate.

This. I think the other creatines are just a meme to get more money.

2grams pre
2 grams post

Stoppani has a good video on YouTube comparing mono and HCL.

Pretty much the only negative to HCL is that it can change the flavor of what you add it to more than mono. I add it to my BCAAs so it doesn't cause any issue since my BCAAs are a tangy flavor anyways.

Does Creatine make anyone else's heart race and feel like they are going to throw up?

Bulk Supplements

I get it on Amazon. 1KG for $28.

$0.06 per serving is hard to beat.

Are you taking just regular creatine? Or is it creatine mixed with something else, like a pre workout?
