Hello, What are your thoughts on Bulk Supplements Creatine? Also creatine pills vs creatine powder? I am personally not creatine loading right now. ---

I am not willing to publish any opinions on a particular manufacturer, but I do regularly say, write, and otherwise publish that I think all supplements should be GMP certified and 3rd party tested. With respect to creatine pills vs powder, they are equivalent. I do not recommend creatine loading.
