what's wrong with it coming from China, I'm sure they have just as good of a quality that the rest of the world would have... | |

Gender: | A lot of bad product came from China in the past. That's what he's speaking of I presume. I don't know what the deal with it is now. As far as I know there is still no oversight and the bad manufacturing, poor materials, etc, are still the case there. US creatine companies are not required to state where the product came from, unfortunately. |

Gender: | Here, read this: http://www.mesomorphosis.com/article...impurities.htm This is about creatine mono but I suspect the problems with CEE are the same. |

Gender: | Hate to burst anyones bubble but the purity test doesn't tell you much. Round it up to 99% pure and there is still a potential for 1% of a certain amount to be toxic material. Add that all up over days building up in your system and that may be a bad thing. The "heavy metals" just says "passed". Bulknutrtion CEE comes from China. That is why it is so cheap. So unless you want to demand an independant HPLC test from them you are taking your chances. The "test results" come from the manufacturer. They are not carried out by bulknutrition or by an independant lab. If you want good info you have to ask for an independant assay...i.e. not by the seller or the manufacturer. Lots of companies will provide these upon request. |
