Next time stick with tried and true creatine mono...these designer creatines have no scientific backup and the only creatine that has REALLY been studied is mono...these others are based on nothing but hot air and assumptions.

LOL, I had to steal this blog post from Mike Rousell, it's sorta kinda related...but I'll plug his site again to help make up for it: Naked Nutrition Network

The Blind Leading the Blind

February 8, 2007

I occasionally lurk around the bodybuilding.com forums since my post yesterday was about nitric oxide supplement I thought highlighting some of my findings would only be fitting.
“Out of all my experience, N.O. Shotgun is by far the best. It’s got arginine-ethyl-ester, creatine-ethyl-ester, glutamine-ethyl-ester….Pretty much everything in it is -ethyl-ester, so you know it has a very fast delivery system.”


My favorite part is “so you know it has a very fast delivery system”. Really? I wasn’t aware that -ethyl-esters automatically increase the speed of nutrient delivery (said with extreme sarcasm)

“The taste is horrible, but the product is well worth the money.”

Why would you want to pay lots of money and ingest something everyday if it tastes horrible? It isn’t like this guy is drinking androgens.

“I did, however, have many problems with taking this product. Instead of creatine-ethyl-ester or creatine-gluconate (like most other pre workout products have), this product just came with outdated creatine monohydrate, and lots of it. Along with that, the digestive problems were horrible. 2 hours after taking it I had massive diarrhea, and stomach cramps like no other. The taste doesn’t help much either….”

Honestly this post gets more entertaining the more this person writes. I love how he refers to creatine monohydrate as “outdated” as if it doesn’t work anymore.
Please, let this post serve as a warning about fitness and nutrition forums. They should mainly be treated as entertainment unless you know the person giving out information is a reputable source.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
