I just want to know what creatine products do you use? Please don't tell me that you use regular creatine and a scoop of sugar.
|
Optimum Nutrition (which is CreaPure, which
most name brands use as their creatine base) and Wine Brewer's Corn Sugar (pure dextrose). Not table sugar...dextrose. Maltodextrin would also suffice.

Do you have a degree in anything to speak with such confidence. Lets just say you do have knowledge in this field but you can't tell me that the products mentioned are not quality.
|
Ne'er did I mention the products to be of low quality. I will say with 100% authority that they are
not worth the price. You are paying for a name brand, not the product. You don't have to trust me, I won't lose a wink of sleep if you pay too much for your supplements. For your reassurance I have two Bachelor's degrees of Science.

Do it yourself kind of guy but if I buy regular creatine, taurine, argenine- where does the insulin spike come from
|
Do I really need to produce a study to show that dextrose spikes your insulin levels? It happens. Just as well as ALA will increase the receptors around your myocites which will cause more uptake to your muscles. In all honesty, the products that contain ALA don't contain enough to make a difference.

It can come from:
Insulin products (Pinnacle, EAS)
Vitargo (Nutrex claimes this is 75% better then Sugar)
OR
Sugar (safeway)
|
Insulin Products are :
Humulin or other Human Grade Insulin injecttions
Sugar is not quite the same as maltodextrin or dextrose. It will spike your insulin slightly less. Combine dextrose with a little frutose and your liver will overflow quicker which will induce a quick insulin spike. Dextrose/MaltoD can be found at most wine/beer DIY stores.

Why use sugar if there is a better system out there? Can you tell me?
|
Just because a company says it's a better system, why does it automatically make it better? Most of the crap they put in there can be purchased far cheaper, even
not in bulk! With all authority I can say you don't need a better delivery system than a high GI carb along with pure
micronized creatine. ALA will make it a bit better, but I'm going to doubt that the 4-hydroxyisoleucine makes that much of a difference.
I can start a company tomorrow, post studies that have no relation to my product, and claim it's 72.5% better than productX, and I bet a lot of people would buy it up. It's a good bit and I bet the stock holders are loving it. Just educate yourself, the supplement industry exists for one reason. People have big hopes of getting huge but are too afraid to take steroids. Couple that with huge bodybuilders with $10k/year drug schedules and you have yourself a teenager's wet dream.
The cost/efficacy ratio really needs to be investigated with anything you purchase. Who has $120/month to spend on creatine? Not to mention the recommended "loading phase"...
