For me creatine is creatine...I usually stick with monohydrate. Years ago I was into the whole BSN "stack", NO Xplode, Nitrix and Cell Mass and it was alright but as far as supplements now I rarely take anything other than extra protien.
 
I think it's a form of placebo. You think you are on a superior creatine so you may train harder and be more on point in other ways just from the notion you have. And that other stuff is what's actually giving you the edge. Similar effect as when people think test boosters work.

I have never seen anything to dissuade me from just using mono.
 
IMO *ALL* supplements are pretty much just for fun (I'm a drug addict) and placebo. So why not try some other creatine salts, as long as you have fun and it keeps you engaged with your diet and workout regimen there's no downside. Just don't think any of that is mandatory for GAINZ especially if your budget is tight.
 
^ So for some supplements that the science does show a slight advantage (most of the exotic OTC stuff is bullshit, yes, but several of the tried and true ones do objectively work) with it, do you not believe the science? If creatine monohydrate is "just for fun" and "placebo," then do you, say, disagree with its relationship with ATP? I just don't quite get what you are trying to say and would like to hear you try and argue that such benefits for certain things are all placebo.
 
No question creatine is a proven supplement with benefits. I just believe that for non-elite/competitive athletes, diet is 85% of this, working out is the other 14%, and supps are maybe 1% of the equation.
