I bought creatine HCL this time around and -- for the money -- I don't really think there's a benefit beyond using good ol' monohydrate aside for less water retention allegedly.
But the protein powder I bought is friggin' delicious and that's why I'm posting. It's the Beyond Yourself Isolate, 'Peanut Butter Dream' flavour. The macros are really good (1.92g fat / 1.3g carb / 26g protein) and god damn is it tasty, can't recommend it enough.
I'm going to try the Perfect Sports Diesel brand next time as it was also pretty highly recommended, but it's 1 lb. powder less than the Beyond Yourself for the same money, so unless it tastes out of this world, it'll probably be more for curiosity than anything else. |
I don't know what your situation is up on top but I found that shortly after starting creatine, I started experiencing a pretty noticeable amount of hair loss. I had been wondering what was going on with losing hair and then started doing some digging into it and found some literature showing there is some correlation; not necessarily 100% causation but there is some evidence out there for it.
