1) I’ve been taking 5g daily for about two months. I drink liquids throughout the day but not much water. Is the creatine still able to do its job or am I wasting it?

2) what’s the difference in the creatine pictured below and the creatine mono I’ve been taking from GNC? Is it a lot better?

Thanks!

Creatine mono is all the same imo. I’d recommend just buying in bulk. Transparent Labs has a 2lb bag for like $20 that I usually get.

I could be wrong, but it still works without water. If you’re not drinking water, it can cause some liver issues so I’d try to fix that if I were you. It’s the best non-illegal supplement out there and all you gotta do is keep your fluids up.

Kre-alkalyn is the way to go

I'm taking Creatine Mono in powder form like I've done that past few winters. I've continued to drink a lot of water like always and put on the usual 5 lbs or water weight.

I've wondered if I'm 'more hydrated' when taking creatine, sort of like the camel effect of retaining water.

Any evidence that it’s more effective?
