Apparently the problem with taking powder creatine is that your stomach digests most of it before it ever reaches your muscles.

You need to take 5 grams just to get 1 gram absorbed into the muscles. This is why alot of people get an upset stomach when taking creatine. The advantage of a liquid is that you get better absorption than with powder. This means if you take 1 gram of creatine in liquid form, you actually get 1 gram of creatine reaching your muscles. By taking less, it is much easier on your stomach, liver and kidneys.

The problem with liquid creatine has always been stability. There are very few companies that can produce a creatine in liquid form that is stable.

I personaly have had no problems with pure creatine monohydrate but have not tried or tested liquid based

There's almost no creatine it serum, if any. That's why it doesn't bother your stomach.

How are you going to fit more than one serving in that little dropper bottle?

Itz crap I say.

No messin Fudo!!

The typical ingredients of ATP's serum:

Typical values per 5 ml Serving:
Amount:
Pure Creatine Monohydrate 2,500 mg
Vitamin B12
Royal Jelly
Ginseng
Glycerine
Honey
Distilled Water
Natural Flavouring

It may be BS though?

Creatine is unstable in liquid. Serum is more market hype in my opinion.

lol, so in each serving of creatine serum, there's 2.5g of creatine, and basically a bunch of sugary BS that'll give you an insulin spike to help your muscles absorb it?

Just mix 5g of pure creatine monohydrate with some grape juice and be done with it. You'll get twice the creatine, and the same insulin spike from the grape juice.
