Creatine, it’s everywhere!
October 3rd, 2009
I was recently talking with some friends at the gym and we were discussing our own hesitencies to supplementing anything besides protein. One of my friends saw a bottle of NO Explode sitting on the counter where you check in. He referenced that “that stuff is awesome!!” Me and another friend both looked at him and said, “have you tried that?”
He let us know that hes been using it for a few weeks and LOVES IT! We then jokingly asked him “do you want some creatine before your work out?” he immediately responded “NO!”
We began laughing again. My friend is completely surprised why we are laughing at him.
We then explained that NO Explode has creatine in it. He almost fell over…. “WHAT?!?”
What a lot of people don’t get is that a TON of supplements that aren’t labeled as Creatine Monohydrate Xtreme and the likes still do have Creatine in them. Are they better or worse, more effective or more dangerous? Who knows. A lot of these new supplements look like the old ones in a new wrapper. If you are cautious about taking creatine for whatever reason then you should be sure to read the ingredients before taking other supplements. Basically anything that says ATP in it has creatine.
