hmm im not sure about it being the same quality. a lot of research has gone into gaspari products, this is a mixture of creatines with far less water retention. I have tried creatine before in many other brands, and I went ahead and decided to try this after posting this thread, and today is day 4 and I can already tell a huge difference from any other creatine I have tried. I give Gaspari size on a thumbs up so far... im also taking before and after pictures and measurements for this product alone, without stacking.
