I don't know any other forms of creatine out now that need a loading phase, cause bloating, or need to be cycled... Creatine Ethyl Ester the highest form, Creatine Alpha Ketoglutarate... I've tried them all at least once, and from my experience, I noticed the best results from the Alpha Keto Glut form. But, we all respond differently, so you'll have to find out what works best for you bro, GL!
