My last post of the year, is something I’ve been thinking about for some time. Earlier this year I used a creatine blend, which made me feel bloated and tired, even a bit exhausted while working out. I have not experienced this on the cheapest form of creatine monohydrate (or creapure). My guess is this is becuse of the additional binding of water. Reversible symtoms after discontinuing use, also reproduced again when starting over with the same blend.
Anyone experienced something similar? Which “version” of creatine is most likely causing this?
Whichever kind you were taking here lol. Monohydrate is the most common and studied form, micronized is the most Bioavailable. (not including IV). There is little data (much of which is conflicting) of other creatine forms working as well as micronized monohydrate, and I too found the cheapest version to be Creapure.
I see no reason to stay from this; it is the most studied and most effective.
