Im asking this here as i know quite a few people here have experience with various supplements. I want to start experimenting with creatin to see if it boosts my muscle growth. Is there any particulair brand that you guys would recommend? Or does it really not matter in what form you take it. I have very little knowledge on the topic aside from a few things I read online.

I like creatine HCL. It’s more water soluble than mono hydrate so it’s easier on the intestines and you don’t need a loading phase

Beautiful thing about creatine is that it doesn’t really matter where you source it from, it’s very straight-forward.

Agreed, I much prefer the HCL version. However, creatine monohydrate is just as good. Just ensure you mix is thoroughly, drink lots of water and you’ll be fine. (It’s also cheaper)
One thing about Creatine HCL, it tastes horrible. It’s very acidic and can will wreak havoc on your tooth enamel. If you decide to get HCL, mix it with protein shakes, or get a flavoured brand.

Yeah I have been thinking about goin back to monohydrate but I am happy with HCL. I do agree it does taste better with a protein shake lol I rarely drink it with water

Thanks everyone! Since it apparently doesnt make to much difference i went ahead and ordered something called creatine micronized since that was the cheapest one available lol.
