So I decided to pee in a cup the next time to see what the deal was. Sure enough....it was kinda lemony. lol.

I think some of the posting's here might be misleading: Creatine does not actually make your muscles grow or make you stronger! A muscle's energy source is ATP. After a muscle has used this fuel, its turned to waste known as ADP. What creatine does is turn some of the ADP back into ATP; supplying your muscles with a LITTLE bit more fuel than they would have without it. The gains people see from creatine are from two things: 1. Water retention (the soft bloat, which is more common with creatine monohydrate) which doesnt happen to everybody by the way. or 2. They just pushed themselves a bit further than they normally would have with this added energy. Remember, those last few reps are the muscle builders... so having a slight boost in fueling your muscles can be the difference between making gains or not.


A noticeable smell in urine after taking CEE is very common. Just a side effect of that type of creatine. One thing I will say is that CEE has been proven to be less stable than creatine monohydrate when introduced to the acids in your stomach, so its very possible it will do absolutely nothing for you. Alot of studies have been done on CEE (and kre-alkalyn) to see if its results are just a placebo effect, but the answer is still debated. Most people work out harder when they've spent money on supplements regardless if the supplements actually work = they see results and think its the supplements doing. Monohydrate is considered to be the most successful of all the types, but because it has a reputation for causing excess water retention people look for alternatives.

Also, if you're trying to cut down to 8- 10% (model build) look into High Intensity Interval Training which has been proven to be the most effective calorie burning training.
