To compare creatines, Creatine Ethyl Ester is best on my gut rather than monohydrates.
ALRi N Gorge, Dymatize Xpand are better than No Xplode.
Agree with DK. If you are digesting and absorbing the creatine, you could hold more water in the muscle cell rather than in your gut or subcontanious (sp?). Will not make you keep gains after cycle like DK said
