Creatine Marketing....

[callthedoctor]

If micronized creatine is "Pure" as advertised...

Then why all the price fluctuations....are you simply buying a 'Brand Name'?

IOW, what is the difference between EAS, Labrada, NOW, Met-RX, other than a few bucks (or sometimes ten!)...

The Protein Factories creatine is 4-5x times much even though your supposed to be buying bulk....(although they say you use less of their product---I don't get it...)

Granted these should all be "Basic" creatine-monohydrate with no dextrose or added nutrition....

I'm ready to buy, but confused on what and how much...

The best deal I've seen is "Phosphagen" 500 grams for $10.99...seems hard to beat....

Your opinion?

different delivery mechanisms and different advertising budgets

The best creatine (pure) is the Creapure brand which is manufactured in Germany. They don`t sell retail. They are Creatine manufacturers and they sell their creatine in huge quantities for use in products we see in mags and on the store shelfs. As long as it says Creapure somewhere on the front label (usually in small print) its the good stuff. I know that Optimum Nutrition uses Creapure and I`m sure other name brands use Creapure but it doesn`t matter because Creapure is Creapure regardless of whose container it is in.

Now this doesn`t mean that other creatines are garbage just that Creapure is the dope.

Pump on .....

German creatine and American creatines are fine. Just make sure you don't buy any creatine from China.
