FAQ: What does creatine do?
A: The main function of creatine is providing
energy to your muscles for movements, especially quick and
explosive movements. Your body gets its creatine from food
and/or supplements. You can imagine then, that taking extra
creatine monohydrate will help you out during workouts.

FAQ: Should I take creatine and why?
A: It's your decision whether to take
creatine or not. Many (I'd say most) bodybuilders use creatine
some at point in their lives, and it does work. However,
before you jump on the bandwagon, find out all the facts
about creatine first, and we have all the info about creatine
you need. See these articles: Creatine

FAQ: I have heard conflicting information
about cycling creatine. Should I cycle creatine?
A: There is support for and against cycling
creatine, and you're going to hear different stories as
well. From personal experience, I'd say that most athletes
do cycle creatine. The beneficial effects of creatine tapers
off after a period of time, and cycling does seem to help
fight that off. Read more on Creatine

FAQ: What's the difference between
creatine serum and creatine powder, and which is better?
A: This is a hot debate ever since creatine
serum was introduced to the market. The only major difference
between the two is that creatine serum is a liquid. Which
one works better? Some people swear by liquid creatine,
while others prefer creatine powder, and still, others use
a creatine stack, which a combination of both. To find out
facts about each, and help make your decision, read this
article: Creatine
serum vs. creatine powder.
FAQ: Are there adverse side effects
of using creatine?
A: No studies have show creatine to have
any serious adverse side effects. However, some studies
have show atheletes to experience gas, bloating, and diarreah
problems with over using creatine. This problem went away
after lowering the amount of intake. No long term side effects
of creatine have been shown either. Positive effects include
more energy, strength, and weight gain. Read more about Creatine

FAQ: I heard about that creatine is
unstable in solution, is this true?
A: Yes, it's true that creatine is unstable
in solution. It eventually degrades to become creatinine,
a useless substance to your muscles. So it's recommended
that you shouldn't leave your creatine dissolved in water
or juice for too long (no longer than 6 to 8 hours).
FAQ: What is the best creatine to use?
This is hard to say with so many types
and brands. However, here are some popular creatine that
people have had good results with: American
Creatine, Prolab
Creatine, AST's
Creatine HSC, MuscleTech
Cell-Tech, EAS
Phosphagen HP.
FAQ: How much does creatine cost?
Again, this really depends on what you
plan on buying. Obviously, price is also a good indication
for quality (but not always). You can expect to pay around
$20 to $30 bucks for an average sized creatine - about 500g
to 1000g container. If you're price sensitive, shopping
online is a good idea - you'll usually find lower prices
than retail stores. In my experience, the best priced creatine
with superb quality is American Creatine and Prolab Creatine.
