Does it matter What brand of Creatine I buy?

Creatine "Ethyl Ester" will promote a more leaner muscle where as Creatine" Monohydrate" promotes a bigger albeit more bloated type of muscle. There are some good articles at the website below, also they have great prices on all the best stuff. Personally i like the creatine made by Cellmass and also that made by AST.

Creatine monohydrate is legal and probably safe.

most brand vitamins are o.k. just check to make sure that you are taking them at the right time of day\nmake sure your not getting to much of a vitamin such as vitamins a or k which have serious side effects in excess\nalso check the solublity of vitamins,absorption(fast,slow) etc.\nhigh endurance or marathon runners need to be more careful as the very sports they are involved in can cause problems with thier bodies other than just vitamin defiecencies such as with women high stress exercise can put enough stress on you to make you temporarily amenoric,loss of calcium stress fractures \nthis inculdes men as well you should look into consulting a sports medicine professional and/or a nutritionist

Most store brands are of the same quality as the best selling brands. Don't know exactly what you want to know but on-line dealers are happy to help you understand what you need and any info you might want to ask about the chemicals.  In The Swim and Doheny's Water Warehouse are 2 I have dealt with for years and they ave both helped me many times.  You can also google for pool chemichals and get meny more on-line dealers to choose from.  I just know these sellers have always been glad to help and right on the money with there answers

Always buy the second-cheapest whatever-it-is.\n\nThere is no difference between brands of gasoline.

Creatine supplements are bad for you. Eat a steak.

No creatine is the best creatine. You risk kidney stones for a negligible boost (if any.) I tried creatine for probably five or six months and found no real difference. Maybe it works for some people, but I would say save your money. \nThe kidney stones thing is something a friend told me who seems to know everything about everything physical. I'd check into it before using creatine - passing a stone is like passing glass shards.

Hi Brad.  This is not a simple question because there are many issues involved.\n\n1) Many studies have shown that the amount of vitamin/mineral listed on the label of a supplement is NOT what is actually in the bottle.  At the present time, you have no way of knowing the 'actual' content of a purchased supplement.  You can only 'hope' the label reflects the actual level of ingredients.\n\n2) Storage, processing, age, etc. of supplements can affect their potency.  Again you have no way of knowing about these issues for a given brand.  For example, is the cheap brand of vitamin C cheap because the company purchases a huge lot of it from the manufacturer (to get a 'good price') and has been storing it in a hot warehouse in Texas for the last two years?  Age and heat damage many vitamins.\n\n3)  Many cheaper supplements contain sugars, preservatives, colorings, etc. that just are not 'appropriate' chemicals in a quality supplement.\n\n4) Medical studies have shown that the cheaper forms of minerals found in most supplements (such as: zinc oxide, magnesium oxide, etc.) may not even be absorbed.  The more expensive, quality supplements will contain amino acid 'chelates' of minerals that have been proven to be better absorbed (such as: magnesium citrate, or glycinate, or gluconate or malate, etc.)\n\n5) You can purchase a new car for less than $10K or you can purchase a new car for $30k or more.  Quality always costs more, and it is often worth paying for it, especially where your health is concerned.\n\n6) Vitamin E in most cheap supplements is the synthetic form called dl-alpha-tocopherol (also called all-racemic alpha-tocopherol).  Real vitamin E is d-alpha-tocopherol - plus 7 additional forms (called vitamers).  The real stuff has benefits the synthetic form lacks and some studies even suggest the synthetic form interferes with the body's processing of the other, good forms, of vitamin E.  Any supplement with the 'dl' form of vitamin E is 'the cheap stuff', should be avoided and is a sign that the manufacturer doesn't care about the true quality of their product.\n\n7)  Avoid any product that does not list the exact form of each vitamin or mineral.  Products that just say "Vitamin E" or "Calcium" are hiding the fact that they are using the cheapest ingredients, which again may not be the best.  It makes me wonder 'what else are they hiding?'.\n\nHope this was helpful.  Talk to the people at your health food store.  They are there to help you.  Expect to pay about $1 per day for a quality multi-vitamin/mineral supplement ($30 for a one month supply).  In April 2002 the Journal of the American Medical Association recommended the use of vitamin supplements for all adults because it may help reduce the risks for many common diseases (heart disease, cancer, brain degeneration, cataracts, etc.).  Invest in your health by purchasing a supplement that works!\n\nHope this wasn't too long, and therefore was helpful for you.  Best wishes.

Creatine actually does work, if you cycle it correctly. It helps your endurance when working out & helps you bulk up faster. Check out the links.

glutamine PEPTIDES are ok to be taken with creatine.  L-glutamine (notice the L) such as gluFM should be taken by itself.  the glutamine and creatine do compete with each other and so one will win and the other will lose.  the peptides are more stable and more soluble (L-glutaminei s not soluble).\n\nso unless you have a product that has glutamine + creatine in it, you can take L-glutamine and creatine roughly 1-2 hours apart.

It depends on which brand you buy.
