I actually like it. The only sides I get is if I take it right before a workout I tend to cramp easier. I take 15g./day. Later, Green IP: Logged |

To be honest I thought it made me slightly leaner looking. IP: Logged |

Zero water, nothing. I'm a total non-responder. Like Green, I am more prone to cramping if my water intake is not boosted. In general, I don't bother with it. Later, ------------------ IP: Logged |

even it the water retention was in the muscle, it disappears after the use, no muscle gains. So I will never use it again. ------------------ Don't look back, life is too short IP: Logged |

I use it when i am off cyc. I dont retain alot if any water from it. i have found people tend to not drink enough water no matter what they take. If you think you are drinking enough water a day, you probally aren't. Too much water can not hurt. I generally drink 3 to 4 gallons plus a day. I piss all the time, but, the fact remains, the more water you drink, the less water your body will retain, no matter what supplement or gear you use. ------------------ "Pain is weakness leaving the body>>>" IP: Logged |

I tried the effervesent creatine and I gained strength/size gains. Most of the size was minimal water weight. The effervesent tends to not bloat you as much as the monohydrate. Also, the only bad thing was that if I did not drink enough water, I would have kidney pains in my lower back--they hurt a lot! IP: Logged |
