Around last christmas I did a course of creatine serum. It's really hand, just a few drops under the tounge before each workout. I mamanged to double my bench while taking this and got really intense workouts but my weight gains were minimal. I was taking additional protein but keeping my carbs low(cos of the 'love handles'). The guys on the maximuscle website seem to think that the creatine serum contains f***all creatine, but they don't sell it. Does anyone know anything about this. I've nothing else to compare it to. My strength definitely increased but maybe my diet was inadequate! I had never taken creatine before. Also, I wasn't too long doing weights before I took it so although I doubled my bench, I'm not entirely sure that I was pushing myself adequately hard before I started. Anyone got any knowledge on this? Any good links on diet??

I dont know that much about the serum, but i took the powder at the same time as two of my friends. It was supposed to be the best quality creatine powder, that is to say most expensive. Anyway it gave me constipation, so i stopped taking it as its not exactly something you want. My two friends went the whole course and noticed little difference even with the proper nutrients, thoroughly constipated too. Anyone else experience blockage?

I believe in order to gain full benefit from it, you must take all kinds of other supplements in conjunction with the creatine, and really push full throttle in your workouts for any form of noticeability. Other than that its just an utter waste of money

I took creatine capsules (probably same as the powder) for 3 months and didnt see much of an improvement in my size. In my opinion you cant go wrong by taking just protein... I could be wrong!

Serum is a bit gimmicky generally and has a lower content than powder.

As for not gaining etc. etc.

We had a big discussion on this here ...
