Easy to get off iHerb and pretty cheap.

I use ALLMAX monohydrate, costs about $15 and lasts me approximately 2-3 months.

Creatine is naturally found in a variety of foods such as fish, other meats and dairy so it seems kind of silly to suggest that it could be dangerous. I suppose if you take it in incredibly high amounts, yes, but what moron would do that?
I'm not super clued up on the science, but I do know that creatine works for me. Here's what I effects I've experienced:

- Faster muscle recovery, particularly after an intense lifting or sprinting session.
- Bit of a performance boost
- Putting on between 1-2kg of extra water weight at the peak of my cycle, I'll lose it after going off.

Generally, I'll take it throughout my off season, when I'm in the gym and gradually cycle off it when I start hitting the track and want to be as light as possible and prioritise speed. 

Some take it year round and others, like myself, choose to cycle it and use it at intervals. Some say that it accelerates hair loss, but there's no definitive evidence to prove it, I haven't noticed any hair loss.

Thanks.  Sounds like it could be a benefit when lifting weights, although I'll have to research this hair loss angle more.  I've already got a nice thinning spot on my crown.  I don't need to speed that up. 

so now i'm curious if it'll be much different...

It's Friday night soon, only one way to find out................ ............

It doesn't really blend well with my smoothies and that's basically the only way I'd take it, so I don't partake, and I honestly don't need it anyway.

But I'm coming in to drop a warning about taking too much of it, it will definitely give you the shits if you overdo it. Seen many a people have to drop their workout to rush off to the bathroom.

There are a lot of people who take creatine without actually reading about how to maximize both its intake and the results that you can get with it. Instead, they follow the creed that more is best. This can and does lead to bouts of diarrhea.
