Creatine Recommendations?

[Anonymous]

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a creatine supplement? I took Now Optimum Nutrition's Creatine Monohydrate which is supposedly the best because it is from the CreaPure company in Germany, but it gave me acne and a lot of intestinal irritation. Maybe creatine isn't for me. But I'm hoping it was just the supplement being low quality.

Thanks!

What benefits were you hoping to achieve from creatine?

Don't.
You will:
-1: Save your skin ( no more acne...).
-2: Save your intestine ( no more irritation...).
-3: Save your money.

I'm interested in creatine. It supposedly reduces Methylation which would be very peaty. But your acne reaction suggests that maybe it increases estrogen?

Take 20 grams a day or more. I heard of up to 60 grams.

It reduces your demands for methionine/SAMe. (universal methyl donor)

Taking creatine cuts your methylation needs almost in half, so you have more methyl group to methylate other things.
90% of methyl groups are used to synthesize creatine and phosphatidylcholine.

Does anyone know why it's suddenly so darn expensive? I recall fondly the years of paying 10 bucks per kg. Now one is lucky to find any for less than 40.
