Creatine
Serum & Powder
The Debate: Creatine Serum vs.
Creatine Powder
Confused about the difference between
creatine serum and creatine powder? You're not alone. Ever
since creatine serum was introduced, the hot debate is over
which one works better? So is creatine serum better, or
is creatine powder the better choice? Really, there is no
clear answer to this. You're gonna hear different user experiences
with each, so in the end, it's really up to you to decide.
I'll do my best to provide you with the necessary info on
each type of creatine to help you make a better, more informed
decision.
You will find competing literature arguing
for both types of creatine. Beware though, some are just
straightout lies. For example, in one article I read, it
stated that it takes 4 to 6 weeks of loading creatine powder
to notice any effect, and that creatine serum works right
away- that's just an outright lie!
Note: despite the dispute of whether creatine
serum or poweder is the better choice, my personal opinion
is that I prefer creatine powder, and I say this from articles
and research which I've read, and also from personal experiences.

Creatine Serum (Liquid Creatine)
So what is creatine serum? In short, creatine
serum or liquid creatine is just the liquid form of creatine
monohydrate. So instead of ingesting a creatine powder,
you're taking in a liquid solution of creatine. Liquid creatine
claims to have the same benefits as powder creatine:
- Provides extra energy to your muscles
during workout
- Gives you a energy boost through ATP
regeneration
- You can gain weight, size, and strength
Here are some important facts about
creatine serum you should know:
- Although it's a liquid creatine, your
muscles does NOT instantaneously absorb it; however, your
body is 'supposed' to be able to absorb it easier than
creatine powder - true or not, I'm not sure.
- Ignore any claims of instant absorption
- that's just not possible. Both creatine serum and powder
take time to absorb.
- Ignore any claim that you don't have
to load with liquid creatine or take it on off days -
there's no apparent extra benefit of creatine serum over
powder other than it's a liquid.
- Ignore any claims that the creatine
serum is completely stable - you should know that creatine
in its liquid form is unstable, and can degrade to another
substance called creatinine, which is useless for your
muscles.
- In short, ignore any claims that says
creatine serum possess extra capabilities than creatine
powder - they're both creatine, and they both do the same
stuff.
One recent article I read on creatine
serum stated that in their lab tests with creatine serum,
they found higher levels of creatinine than creatine, confirming
the scientifc fact that creatine degrades to creatinine
in liquid. They also found that the actual amount of creatine
in the serum is much less than what the label claimed.
As I've stated, you're going to hear different
stories and experiences with creatine serum. Give it a try,
see if it works for you, and if it does, hey, then stay
with it, and if it doesn't, stick with creatine powder.

Creatine Powder
When it comes to creatine powder, you
can get all different brands and types. Creatine powder
is just that - white powder. An average sized bottle (~1000g)
will typically cost you around $20 to $30 bucks, depends
on the type and brand you buy. Some years back, creatine
was much more expensive and almost costed twice as much
for the same amount. You can get just pure creatine powder,
or you can get creatine powder mixed in with a bunch of
other supplements. Personally, I prefer to just use pure
creatine, seems to work better for me, but you should try
both out to see which works for you best. >> Click here for Micronized Creatine
