Here's the thing. You've already bought and even at 50% off you probably spent a lot on it. And then you ask for opininions on it. If you have not bought it and Ross said what he said you may have decided not to buy it and life as we know it would go on just fine and so would your training.

Now, you have a need to feel good about how you spend your money. It doesn't really matter what we say. You know how many times people come on a forum and say they bought a fancy and expensive supplement and it sucks?

I'd say about .5 percent of the time. As far as research is concerned, can you imagine a supplement company selling stuff like that and not claiming a lot of "research" went into it?

Hey, here's a really expensive blend of creatines that we pretty much put no thought into. Good luck!

The ONLY type of creatine that has any real backup in terms of scientific research is creatine monohydrate. Everything else is anecdotal and heresay and what little is researched does not stand up to it's claims.

And of course out of 11.9 grams of some proprietary matrix bs it has creatine monohydrate as the second ingredient after glucose. That means there could be quite a bit of creatine monohydrate in there per serving.

ANYBODY can order a bunch of powders and throw it in a mix together with creatine monohydrate. And make up any meaningless scientific sounding terms to name the formulations. Like "bio-engineered". Look, everyone needs to realize that a person can make supplement in his garage. And people do.

I could make a soup mix that would compete with Lipton, lol. If I marketed it better I might end up in hamburgers.

But there is so much stuff packed into that supplement there is no use comparing it to just creatine.
