I am really starting to think I am at a disadvantage even though I know that Supplements does not overtake a good diet. It seems like the guys taking Creatine are having some really good gains.
What do you guys think? | Actually that seems to be a perception issue as you have acknowledged that supps can't take the place of a good diet. |

The guy above says that he can get it for 12 rather than 120 but that 12 or 120 is like digging a hole in the ground and filling it in. Would you rather fill a hole in the ground with 12 or 120? | I don't get it. |

You do know that supps are not meant to replace a healthy diet don't ya? |

Lets consider the diet good and clean (for sake of arguement), and add in the creatine supplement to an already good diet, "with what you have read on creatine" (mono AND Ester--yes there are two types), what does a research, in "general" say about any benefits (if any) to one training, Tribal?
Leave the cost out.

| | | Taking $120 of creatine a month is pretty ridiculous. Taking $12 over 2 months seems pretty good to me. Fitness USA didnt even have andenosine triophosphate (ATP) not APT correct.
Jman I say take it and see what happens. It doesnt make the athlete, but it can sure as hell help him/her. |

Supps are excellent in assisting in gains. |

The only way you can get the same amount of creatine from eating healthy is having like 7 pounds of salmon for one serving of creatine. Creatine is a supplement that you can't get the benefit from just a regular diet.... | | |
