What's Really in Your Supplements? -- An Update on Creatine

As some well informed readers might recall, I wrote an expose on the various impurities and contaminants found in certain creatines on the market a few years back. The article was called "What's really in your creatine?".

The article took a close look at the large variations in the quality of different creatines and killed the long standing myth that "creatine is creatine." I expected the article to have an effect on the creatine market both from a wholesale and a retail perspective, and it did. As I predicted in that article, It also got me into hot water with many companies and individuals who sell less than pure high quality creatine. My exact words were "What I am about to tell you is not going to make me a very popular person with many supplement manufacturers.

In fact, some of them are going to be down right pissed off at me." I recall the drunk owner of one well known supplement company coming up to me at an after hours party at a convention and slurring "Hey Brink, you cost me a lot of money with that article of yours" to which I responded "serves you right for selling low grade creatine!" I knew where he got his creatine and it was junk.

The article examined several key impurities often found in low grade creatines such as Dicyandiamide, Creatinine, Dihydrotriazine, and Sodium. Those who want to know more about those specific chemicals need to read the prior article. From the tests that were conducted on a dozen or so brands of creatine using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), it appeared the creatine made by a large pharmaceutical company out of Germany was far and away superior to creatine manufactured elsewhere, particularly China where the above chemicals could be found at very high levels.

You should try kre-alkalyn

[willbrink]

@OriginalOrigins

It does nothing monohydrate can't do, regardless of over hyped pseudo science marketing you have read.

@goodfella514

As long as it's CreaPure, it's all good.

[Multi1985Killa]

so should i still use a hotter liquid? or as long as it dissolves it should be ok to drink?

[unk786]

does creatine ethyl ester have alcohol init? or is it made by alcohol?

[Xelvielll]

@willbrink Actually, Micronized creatine can be absorbed in much higher quantities than its counter part. you also can get more for your buck.

[Aj007cool]

Cool

[madzyadzy07]

to be properly fair you should stir both at the same time and put the timer down. the micronized still wins though.

[PhillyPugilist]

Good info.

[idoneit100]

@willbrink I see Life Extension changed there creatine up and heard its no where as good as the bottle you have. What do you think about the new version?

[r3never]

brink, reckon its a good idea to have 1/3 of warm-hot water in a glass then dissolve the micronized creatine, and then add in some grape juice? because i hear its best taking it with simple carbs

@sullivanthechamp gains in terms of weight, yes, but all the weight you will lose is water, not muscle

Hi Will, love your videos, thanks for the great information! I just wanted to get your opinion on taking creatine with a high carbohydrate drink (non-citrus fruit juices seem to be the most highly recommended). Do you think this really helps absorption, and do you still recommend dissolving the creatine fully in the juice?
