Creatine

[Scaggs]

I think any effervescent creatine will work as long as they are not lying about the mgs contained in each packet. Twinlabs fizz fuel has been tested by Ironman's Research team. It proves out and did exactly what they claimed it to do for me anyway. I love it. Can't say one bad thing about it except its price which isn't so bad once you get passed the loading phase.

One option to get around that is do what i do. take only two packets a day of fizz fuel and make up the difference during the loading phase of cheap powder creatine. That should help out on cost.

Precision Engineered

A couple of weeks ago I bought Precision Engineered Hardcore formula at Vitamin World. 1300 g. It was on sale for around 26 bucks. Hope its good stuff.

What is the best way to take it? Grape juice,Gatorade, or what. Still not sure.

By itself I like to use grapejuice, otherwise I just put it in a protein shake after I work out. I usually throw some frozen fruit in the shake too.

I've been reading up on it and some people say it may stunt growth, is this true or false? Is it safe for someone my age (15) to be taking? Or should I wait till 16 even though thats only a few months off I don't see how it would make much difference.

Wow your only 15? I can't say for sure yes or no if its wise to cycle creatine. In my opinion, i would not think creatine would be harmfull to you as long as you are cycling it and also involved in some sort of physical activity. Creatine is also naturally found in the body and also in certain foods. At 15 you should only have 5 exercises per workout and keep it under an hour. 6 weeks of creatine and then take a few off. Like anything its good to let your body go back to its normal ways.

Loading phase is 20-25 grams a day for 5 days. Then just 10 grams a day for maintanance. Fizz Fuel is a 5gram packet. Split them up throughout the day.

Good for you. Its good to see a young lad like yourself investigate supplements before taking them. Learn about what you put in your body and always watch for signs of your body rejecting it. Good Luck to you.
