I normally just use Creatine Monohydrate, but I am becoming increasingly tired with the stomach upset it causes/temporary nausea and the need to sit on the toilet as soon as I've consumed it!! I believe with HCL because its water soluble compared to monohydrate that there is no gastrointestinal issues and because its absorbed much better and quicker - they say there is no need for a loading phase (which I don't quite believe). I am pretty sure I tried this stuff back when it came out but for the life of me cannot remember how it went lol

So for those of you who use Creatine HCL - does it produce less stomach upset and bloating/Toilet blasting?

Also because it means you don't bloat with water so much, is it as effective for lifting because in theory the muscle is not as full of water?
