The creatine that comes in from China is almost always less expensive, but it's also much more likely to be impure. Typically, it'll be cut with the complex carb maltodextrin. No wonder some people don't see any results. Reputable creatine suppliers prefer the German version, which is a bit more expensive but tests out at a significantly higher level of quality. With creatine you really do get what you pay for.
Micronized creatine is very interesting.
There's no doubt that micronized creatine dissolves better in liquid-this just makes sense. It's also theorized that the smaller particle size leads to easier and faster digestion and uptake into the blood. Individuals who report stomach upset with regular creatine intake almost always find the problem alleviated by switching to the micronized version. This trend is likely to continue and accelerate in the near future. OKG Other Amino Acids Taurine Citrimax Formulas Atkins Bars Atkins Books and Tapes Atkins Food Products Atkins Misc.
