I have been taking a different companies version of CEE for 1 week. I am taking 2g's a day. I have gained 20 lb on my bench. I am not bloated, have no cramps, and did not experience any upset stomachs. Its nice to get the effects of creatine monohydrate without retaining water. Unfortunately I am too poor to spend $30+ on AF brand. I actually found it for 25% of the price. And no its not regular creatine being sold as CEE because it has the horrible taste people have talked about. Maybe I would gain additional strength taking Af CEE however i doubt it since I am already getting a 10% increase in strength. The stuff would have to be like var to make me gain more.
