Stay away from Creatine!  The best thing you could use is amino fuel and lots of protein.  Creatine will eat away at your stomach and give you a gastric intestinal disorder.  Creatine does not give you muscle it just pumps up the fluids.  Unless Creatine has changed in the last few years; I am telling you this from witnessing it first hand.  My husband was in the hospital three times from abdominal pain and runny stools.  Just eat healthy and use more weights with less reps.

you will gain water weight when you first start using creatine.i took it for a while i was what you call a non-responder. it didnt do much for me but you should know that gaining weight is easy to do .....but gaining muscle weight and mass is a lot harder.....in one moth you will probobly gain about 4 maybe 5 pounds and about 85% of that weight you gained is going to be water.

they are all pretty competative. i used to use now sports micronized creatine. its 100% pure creatine powder and works pretty good. the time you take it also depends. take it just before your work out. dont take it unless your working out and definatley under no circumstances forget to drink plenty of water with this stuff. i mean at least a gallon a day 2 is more sufficient. and start off small.

Creatine monohydrate is legal and probably safe.

Depends on how long the expiry date. If you have already consumed it, then just drink more water (I believe creatine is water-soluble), and dump the creatine bottle/barrel in the bin.

It destroys the liver.  I dont suggest you take it if you have a bad liver.  I wouldnt even take it even if I had good liver.  Because a good liver can become a bad liver.  It has resulted in many deaths, so you should steer clear of creatine.

Various creatine products contain different forms (creatine monohydrate, creatine monophosphate) in varying concentrations, as well as creatine in combination with other supplements. There are no standard doses of creatine, and many different doses are used.

do you mean creatine? if so yes it is great for muscle building.\nCreatine is a naturally occuring substance in the foods the we eat and even in our bodies. We can synthesize creatine in the liver, pancreas, and kidneys from the amino acids Arginine, Glycine and Methionine. It can also be found in meat type foods such steak, fish, pork, tuna, etc.\n\nHowever, the amount of creatine we get from foods is minimal compared to the amount needed to get the maximum beneficial effect. To get roughly 20 grams of creatine (the general dosage amount for the loading phase), one would have to consume roughly 16-18 steaks. Because of this, it is much more convenient to simply consume creatine as a supplement, otherwise one would have to eat alot of meat products. \nThe energy released from the reduction reaction of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) to ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) fuels everything your muscles, as well as almost anything else in your body, do. Creatine is stored in the form of Creatine Phosphate in the body. When ATP looses one of it's phosphates in the reaction to create energy, creatine donates its phosphate to regenerate ATP so that it can break apart again to provide the muscles with energy.\nThe creatine phosphate system is anarobic, meaning that it does not require oxygen to run and is the first system called upon when ATP needs to be regenerated. Therefore, supplementing extra creatine into the diet will allow the muscles to use this system longer.

There is both a creatine and a creatinine and yes the levels of both may be affected by certain prescription or over the counter medications.  Their levels may also be influenced by diet, dietary supplements, and physical activity.  If you provide the information I shall provide the answer.

nitric oxide is somewhat helpfull for vasodilation and increasing blood flow...also chromium is helpfull for fat loss and increased metabolism...esterfied creatine is huge for performance enhancing such as aggresiveness and explosion and focus...

No creatine is the best creatine. You risk kidney stones for a negligible boost (if any.) I tried creatine for probably five or six months and found no real difference. Maybe it works for some people, but I would say save your money. \nThe kidney stones thing is something a friend told me who seems to know everything about everything physical. I'd check into it before using creatine - passing a stone is like passing glass shards.

There are no good diet supplements to lose wieght, it just takes eating healthfully and monitoring your caloric intake combined with a moderate amount of physical activity (running, biking, cardio gym equipment, even lifting weights burns fat).  Many dietary supplements either don't work, or affect your heart rate and are unsafe and unhealthy for your body.  \n\nIn the past I have taken Creatine to build muscle, and other similar dietary supplements, but have found that the only way to become truly fit and healthy, and stay that way is to adjust your lifestyle and exercise.\n\nGood luck!

Creatine causes muscle cells to absorb more water, causing them to stretch and look larger.  But the larger cell can also absorb protein better so that the increased size is retained.

Take it as instructed, and you should have no problems. You will retain more water, so drink lots of water. But it does more than that. It gets converted in your body to adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is stored in your muscles for short bursts of energy (such as weight lifting). This allows you to lift a little heavy and lift an extra rep or two, which will overload the muscle more, causing to grow faster.\n\nThere are some possible side effects, but nothing serious. You may experience some muscle cramps, or have some digestive discomfort. Some people have had loose bowel movements from it. If you do a search for it on the Internet, you'll find all kinds of articles. I use it off and on, and get some mild side effects, but they usually go away after a week or so.

Ther shouldnt be any interaction between the two products. I take creatine and use thermogenic fat burners (which im guessing is what riped fuel is) somtimes together and have never had any problems. Once though i had gotten bad cramps in the abdomin but attribute this to the fact that i was not drinking enough water. Once i drank more water the cramps went away. So drink lots of water and you should be fine.
