there are 3 different kinds of creatine
Creatine monohydrate
Creatine monohydrate is the most scientifically recognized, widely available, and commonly used form of creatine supplementation. It's popular with the scientific community because it's the form used in the majority of research studies. However, there are alternative forms of creatine available that offer similar (although sometimes limited) benefits to the monohydrate form.
Creatine Phospahte
Research has shown both creatine phosphate and creatine monohydrate are equally effective. Many so-called experts have tried to suggest that since our bodies use creatine phosphate naturally, by all means, the form of creatine phosphate as a supplement would be better than the monohydrate form... But maybe not. Here's why...
Upside There is none. You see, the way it works is that once creatine phosphate enters your gut, the phosphate is immediately snatched away, and you're left with free creatine (what your muscles want). But the same applies to the monohydrate form — once dissolved in water, the monohydrate molecule (water) is released, and the substance left in your gut is free creatine (again, what your muscles want).
Downside
Creatine phosphate is extremely expensive to manufacture, and there is no mass production of it nor popular demand for it; thus, it remains over-priced. It has also been reported by many users to be quite grainy in texture, unlike the monohydrate form, which is a slightly gritty, tasteless, and odorless powder.
Creatine Citrate
Creatine citrate has been shown to reach its peak concentration in the blood within one hour, as opposed to creatine monohydrate, which takes up to three hours. Nonetheless, this may not be an overly beneficial effect because muscle cells must be fully "saturated" with creatine before creatine can produce any real effects.
Upside It has been noted that creatine citrate tends to dissolve more easily in water than the monohydrate form, which may indicate that creatine citrate is absorbed more quickly into the bloodstream. This means it may be more readily available for use, more quickly. However, no studies have yet supported this contention.
Downside You would need to consume nearly twice as much (in grams) of creatine citrate to get the same amount of creatine as you would with the monohydrate form. This is because creatine citrate is only 40% creatine and 60% citrate, whereas creatine monohydrate is 90% creatine and 10% monohydrate. As well, many consumers of creatine citrate have sited an acidic taste and sometimes stomach discomfort.

Tri-creatine malate is a compound made from creatine monohydrate and malic acid. The substance is so named because the compound is made from three creatine molecules attached to one molecule of malic acid.

| NO-Xplode has eliminated this problem by increasing your body's creatine saturation point. It completely opens up the blood vessels which feed the muscle, allowing the Muscle Volumizing Creatine Matrix to stretch the muscle cell and force it to hold more creatine and other volumizing nutrients. And, what's even more amazing, is that this starts happening within minutes of ingestion.

Ok, this stuff is really good product, i have continue to use it. it tasts like hell but just toss it back its over in no time. you will get a great pump and it helps with mental focus. read the info for all the details. but i like it inspite of the taste, in fact im just ran out and have to go get some more..so far the orange seems to go down the easiest..lemon lime is a little harsh.
