Is Creatine Mono Still the Gold Standard or Are New Forms Worth It?

Mono is still king. If it ain’t broke, no need to fix it.

At the end of the day, food and training matter way more than which creatine you pick.

Only upgrade I made was buying micronized mono. Mixes better, still cheap.

Facts. Every label says “better absorption” but nobody shows real-world results.

Companies gotta sell something new every year. Creatine just happens to be easy to repackage.

I went back to mono after wasting money on blends. Pumps and numbers stayed identical.

If mono messes with your stomach, then yeah, other forms make sense. Otherwise I wouldn’t bother.

Most of the new forms feel like marketing to me. Mono has decades of proof behind it.

That’s kinda what I’m wondering. Hard to justify paying more if results don’t change.

I tried HCL for a few months. Less bloating maybe, but strength gains were the same as mono.
