Anything NSF certified

Powder, from any company that you find reputable. I like the micronized form. I would avoid any of the gummies, as a huge percentage of them have nowhere near the amount of creatine they claim (I believe the cooking process denatures it or something but this is just conjecture).
I don't know any reputable companies in this space.

How can you accurately detect what is and isn't a not? You seem very confident you can tell the difference so I thought I'd ask first.
In my view, you're the one claiming to be able to tell the difference! You said, "You tend to see that more..." ...which I took to mean that there were threads where you can look at the comments and categorize them into the two categories and then assert that the size of the paid comments category was larger on posts for high margin than it is for low margin. Like, it makes sense that the incentive is stronger in tha…
If I did show you such a thread you'd likely just say "yeah I don't think any of them are paid".
So what's the point? You've just confirmed very clearly that your criteria for what constitutes a paid comment is your idiosyncratic opinion. you refused to give criteria beyond "convince me".

#394I have bad central sleep apnea, and regardless of CPAP I still end up with poor quality sleep unfortunately. I was on stimulants like Modafinil and Ritalin for over a decade, which comes at a huge cost physically, mentally. Its the only supplement I take other than Vitamin D, I'm not some freak biohacker. I've completely replaced stimulant use with 15g of Creatine a day, and 25-30g on days when I feel especially slee…
I just tried that since I read your comment and it is really helping me. Thanks!

Sorry just seeing this. NSF provides their own index. The certification guarantees a label is what it says it is. I don't generally care about branding and let the certification + drug (creatine) do the talking. IIRC evidence points to monohydrate does the job well and no need to fuss with other things like micronized of proprietary creapure.
