Default Anyone use Creatine-D2T by Biogenetix?

Went to GNC this morning to pickup a few items for when I start my TNT program on the Monday, and the guy working there talked me into Creatine-D2T by Biogenetix instead of regular creatine mono.

He said it "packs more punch", will show gains faster, and is easier to take than loading with the regular stuff.

Just wondering if anyone else is using it, how they are using it, and what they think of it.

$50 for 168 caplets. Directions say 6 caplets a day - post workouts. GNC guys said you would see better results if taken everyday though.

Rip off. That's one month. I have creatine monohydrate powder, 3 month supply, from Vitamin Shoppe for $14.00.

Stop shopping at GNC.

What the heck is the DT2 part? I've not heard anyone ever recommend anything more than just creatine mono, besides putting it in a shake, of course.
What more "punch" do you need?

I've never liked places that make you pay to save... you know they make that up with *someone* (congrats on being that someone )

Sounds like you fell prey to slick marketing. It happens to most people at some point.

That said, the others are right: get back to plain old "creatine monohydrate" powder. The only other word that should go with those two is "micronized", which seems to digest better with some people.

The monohydrate is the only extensively researched form of creatine, and it's been proven to work very well for many different things.

Powder form is always more cost efficient.

I fell for sublingual elixirs and hell, even "fat burning gels" early on. Live and learn.
