Same creatine maybe...Same dosage of Creatine though?

Yeah!

both would equal same dosage - 5G Creatine Monohydrate per single serving so
10G a day; the only difference is im taking it "neat" i guess as oppose to a mix

I actually went into anaphylactic shock Sunday night; hospital job the lot with a shot of adrenaline; doctors put it down some cream i was using; but im not convinced as i had problems late last night again!

only thing i can think that has changed is im using PhD Creatine (not something i use, but i won in facebook comp on PhD page), but seems a little odd as i use Synegy "all in one" for a long period of time and i believe that would use the same creatine - surely?

I think you clearly have some hypersensitivity issue going on; some of these seemingly innocuous substances are triggering unusually severe reactions. I'd see your doc for some allergen tests. You need see if you can find out what can trigger anaphylaxis in you so you can take precautions if needed.

Creatine made me wheezey too, I also get the same affect from drinking barley type drinks, like Robinsons Lemon Barley etc.

Not had any issues with Creatine mono from IS, although im battling man flu. So, I dont exactly feel at my best anyway.

Again, can I remind you all not to offer medical advice. Again, I say, that supplements are not without their issues, so can I suggest that you get seek medical advice before taking any supplements that you are not aware of.

Thanks.

SMed · 9 Feb 2012 at 12:56

The only medical advice anyone offered was to see a doctor. :confused:

Freefaller · 9 Feb 2012 at 13:01

Don't question me - it was reminder not to go any further with advice.

I think I'm going to switch out Purple Wraath and White Flood when they are done.

I'll be going back to Xtend and possibly Jack3d for pre-workout.

This actually looks good for a pre-workout - http://www.powerbody.co.uk/product-aps_mesomorph_new_formula_grape_388g,1441.html

4000mg of Beta alanine. No way could i take that. I only have 2000mg because any more feels extremely uncomfortable in my face

And it has 1,3 Dimeth in it, don't you need to be careful of that if you're thinking of competing?

LiE · 9 Feb 2012 at 13:45

Not sure about powerlifting with regards to that ingredient, I know it's band for bodybuilding.

Skillmister · 9 Feb 2012 at 13:49

But anyway, good luck with the uncontrollable urge to scratch your face if you take 4000mg of BA

LiE · 9 Feb 2012 at 13:49

You big girl

Yep, it's banned by the BNBF

Just tried Almond Butter.. way too runny to put on toast. Would be good in shakes I guess. Going to order some PB from BP.

icecold · 9 Feb 2012 at 15:16

It's on the WADA banned list, so a no go for most competitive sports (including "tested" powerlifting). However, as far as I'm aware you're only banned from using it in actual comps. It's not as if it makes a huge difference in training, and it leaves your system after a week anyway.

Dj_Jestar · 9 Feb 2012 at 15:27

Can't you just eat more protein foods instead of jacking up on that crap?

LiE · 9 Feb 2012 at 15:29

I already eat 235-260g protein a day

Delvis · 9 Feb 2012 at 15:30

Meh, I'm on 222g apparently, plus some more

icecold · 9 Feb 2012 at 15:30

As high as I get on eating Nandos, it's not quite the same as taking a stim... unless...

Pre-work out Nandos? Post work out Nandos? Nandos right now?

Yeah, I'm hungry.

Skillmister · 9 Feb 2012 at 15:31

Nandos is definitely a post not pre workout.
