I'm currently looking into taking creatine. I've done much research, but still not quite positive on what I want to take. I am interested in taking CEE or Kre-Alkalyn. I hear that creatine monohydrate cause some bloating, water retention, and other sides. I want to apply the creatine into a post workout shake. My shake currently consists of 1 cup of mixed berries, half a banana, 1 1/2 scoop of whey protein, 5 grams of l-glutimine, and 1 cup of non-fat milk. I would like to add creatine into that. I've read that creatine also replenishes and supplies more energy towards your workouts. Would the creatine be effective in my post shake or would I have to supplement x's daily? Also, if someone could point me to a good manufactuer of what I am looking for, that would be great. Any ideas, suggestions, or corrections would be greatly appreciated.
