Enige nadeel vind ik dat je er dan geen vast ritme in hebt (in de inname), waardoor je het vrij gemakkelijk kan vergeten. Poeder gebruik je elke dag en wordt op die manier routine... Verder werkt het perfect!
bro, het werkt niet, het is niet stabiel, er is nog nooit een wetenschappelijke studie geweest die bevestigd dat het werkt.

Liquid creatine would it be a better delivery system? Is a stable liquid creatine possible? According many of the industries leaders a liquid creatine, that is stable, is IMPOSSIBLE! What does this mean to "us" retailers that have been selling a liquid creatine? We have been selling a lemon! The customer says they can "feel" it working…isn't the customer always right? I would normally say yes, but in this instant they are wrong! I feel like marketing and sales have been put before truth. We must police ourselves if we don't want the FDA telling us what we can and cannot do!
Many companies have put out a liquid creatine and attached marketing hype like 600% more absorption-my question is what study-which university? When SKW, the worlds leading manufacture of creatine, cannot make a stable liquid creatine, how can these small companies? It is not from lack of trying on SKW'S part, they have dumped millions upon millions into the project. According to Craig Fish ,Sales Manager for SKW, " the company that brings a stable liquid creatine to the market first will cash in on the biggest jack pot the nutrition industry has ever seen. Think about it if creatine was stable in liquid form why wouldn't COKE, PEPSI, or GATORADE have a creatine product? It can't be done!"
Muscle Marketing USA is the biggest of the marketers of liquid creatine. They call themselves the inventors of the only stabilized liquid creatine. In issue#80 of Muscle Media 2000 they made available an independent lab analysis of the Muscle Marketing product and its contents. HPLC testing revealed that the product that claimed 2,500mg of creatine monohydrate per serving on contained 1% of the label. Muscle Marketing's comeback to that Was that the creatine in their creatine serum cannot be tested via normal lab procedures. That interested me so I called the company and they told me to go back to the web page. I asked to speak to one of their in house experts and again I was told to look at the web site. I have even Even e-mailed the President of the company, guess what …no response! What did I do then, I dug dipper into the subject? A friend of mine that works for the "grand daddy" of all sports nutrition companies let me know of a lab test that they conducted, again independently, its results were that the "serum" contained 29.16mg of creatine and 50.9mg of creatinine and not the 2,500mg of creatine monohydrate. Muscle Marketing says the EQUIVALENT of 2,500mg…what exactly does equivalent mean? According to Webster's it means equal in value, power, or effect. I guess we will have to use anecdotal evidence then. Since the serum is equal to creatine and we know that 80% of people respond to regular old creatine, then shouldn't 80% of "serum" users have the same response? No only 50% of people polled said they got anything from the "serum". Other points of contention are that the label itself doesn't comply with the standards set out for nutritional supplements by the DSHEA act, I think that that might be a violation of a federal law? They also have information on their web site that has to do with powdered creatine not being safe, and that they refer to the FDA's web page. I have read everything I can on the subject of creatine, I have talked to some of the biggest names in creatine research and not once have I heard about a safety issue with creatine! Their site also says that "serum" is 100% safe! I guess the key to this company is MARKETING! They state on their page: "Too often in this business profits and sales figures weigh more heavily than the safety and health of the customers." I guess they would know! THIS IS THE BAD AND UGLY!
Creatine has withstood the test of time. We know it works! New advances in technology like effervescent creatine have enhanced the effects of creatine, while others have not. As an athlete I try everything that hits the market…hey I want the edge! I have tried the "serum" and it did nothing, and I have tried the effervescent creatine and it worked. I personally use the strait powder because it is the least expensive. I do this because I am not swayed by claims of 600%, 880% better, if they were truly 600% or more better wouldn't I have proportionately bigger gains? It doesn't work that way! MARKETING, MARKETING, MARKETING! Honestly I use the effervescent the week before a competition because with regular creatine I get too pumped, the effervescent allows me to retain the strength, but discard some of the excess fluid in the muscle tissue.
