Good stuff
I can't comment much on the effectiveness of the product since it will not do wonders on its own. You have to go to the gym, and you have to lift heavy. Furthermore, I am a vegetarian so Creatine makes a huge difference for me where it may not do much for heavy meat eaters who don't lift heavy.
I did want to leave this review solely to comment on two things.
1) don't waste your money on any of the new hot market movers. Creatine Mono is the most effective thing there is. Period. Micronized makes it easier, and Creapure is the best on the market. ON uses creapure and is micronized. Boom.
2) Stomach upset. This is very important. If you just mix this with cold water like it suggests, you may see that it doesn't really dissolve well. Throw it into your protein shake? Nope, not gonna dissolve.
HOWEVER
If you mix this with WARM water, you will see it 100% dissolved in a matter of 2-3 minutes. No, it will not degrade in water since that takes about 2-3 HOURS. No, the heat wont hurt it since creatine degrades at about 300 degrees CELSIUS.
When you have undisolved crystals in your water, and subsequently in your intestine, it will draw water into your gut and you will explode from your torso hole. Do yourself a favor and mix it with warm water, mix it well for a couple minutes, and enjoy. This will alleviate like 90% of stomach issues.
