No experience of the myprotein one. I've used ON 's and Creapure. Didn't bother with loading, just 5g a day.
I found it best with my morning shake. Taking it before gym didn't sit well, apparently it initially draws water from the gut and combined with getting hot it causes discomfort.
Avoid citric acids before / after taking creatine, and apparently a little sugar can help it get transported around the body.
I find, without preloaded, it's fully in my system in about a week.
Yep monohydrate.
Got myprotein one in for now. I had another good brand before. All it did was make me nauseous and I didn't feel pump or lift more.
But some people don't respond to it, I will do a loading phase and try again.
I can definitely recommend BCAA...I cut some calories and felt piss weak and the BCAA got me through. I drink them during training, just 5 grams a day but some people load on BCAA and get great results. They seem to work well when you cut.
