I would say whatever works better for you, V12 or creatine, would benefit you more while on S1+, just my opinion, not too sure on the subject matter.

It would be a bad idea. All that time taking serum in the morning could be better used for activities like...watching the grass grow. The stuffs useless. V12 is solid though.

There is about as much creatine in the creatine serum as there is in those o' so tasty soy burgers.

Yeah that creatine serum expired the day it went into the bottle.

Yes, let the record reflect that:

- Creatine is NOT stable in any sort of solution, which makes buying ANY suspension of creatine a patent waste of your $. Furthermore ANY company that is selling any form of liquified creatine does not deserve your business...

what would you guys suggest if creatine doesnt respond to you... v-12, swole, or swole v2? or anything else?

Posted by: Kow Feb 9 2004, 08:11 PM

V12, swole, and Satur8 seem to be three of the best creatine products out there, especially for non-responders. As you probably know, they tout these products for just that: non-responders.

Another thing you may want to keep an eye out for are the kre-alkalyn products. Black Star Labs puts out one (Kreataine), and I'm sure it'll catch on even more (I can just see it now: Kre-Tech).

My opinion on these products: They may be good, but it is not because they are creatine products. Same goes for buffered creatine. As I explain in the glycocyamine article, the limiting step in the effectiveness of creatine is creatine transport to muscle; there is no reason to try to increase bioavailability in the gut, and so on. That isn't even an issue. So there's no way to create a "better" creatine, unless you increase creatine transport to muscle, which these products don't do.
