All the Whey - whey and CEE

I use to buy pure CEE (creatine ethyl ester) and 100% pure whey isolate at all the whey .com. Sounds like they are either OOB or temporarily down due to some type of product contamination. (That’s what I read somewhere, not sure if it’s true). Anyway, I bought a ton of this stuff a few years ago on bulk pricing and have really enjoyed it. Since then I have not really stayed on top of what products are good/bad/too expensive or good deals. Do any of you body builders out there have the scoop on what to get and where?

So, again, I’m just looking for high quality whey and, if I can find it, 100% CEE powder (no pills or combinations of CEE and amino’s). I’m currently taking a multi and P90X recovery after workouts. Any other recommendations would be helpful.

In case anyone wants to know, I’ve been out for a long ass time and am getting back into it with p90x. P90x has worked well for me in the past to get my ass back into shape. No brainer workouts and diet.which is what I need right now.

Anything from Nanox, in my opinion some of the best quality and taste you can get, but quite expensive though. But if you got the cash. Haven’t tried they’re whey protein but have tried their casein protein( night charging) and the l-glutamine peptide.
High quality all the way and the casein shakes tasted like chocolate milkshake, blended with water and even better with milk. Always looked forward to having one before bedtime. This is a link to their homepage but I think most online shops selling supplements distributes it.

They use some kind of belgian dark chocolate in it, it’s tha bomb.

where are you located?

I’m actually back in California now. Id like to find an online supplier though.

Thanks Viking, Ill check it out.

I’m bumping this to hopefully get some more replies. Just trying to find out where everyone is getting supplements.

Cee isn’t a good form of creatine

Monohydrate will give better results or a blend

well, Europe has a whole other set of online suppliers, that’s why I asked :)

Yep. A bit pricier by volume but you take a lot less for better results and no bloating or gas.

Have you checked out the big 2 as far as online suppliers go?

I’m by no means an expert, but I’ve taking a TON of creatine in my time. From what I’ve read CEE is much better quality then monohydrate. Plue, in my experience, monohydrate is a pain in the ass. If you don’t dissolve it properly, the stomach doesn’t absorb it. Then it goes into the intestines. It’s way too big for the intestines to absorb, so your body flushes it.diarrhea!! I have tested this time and time again. If I’m persistent in dissolving monohydrate in hot water, I’m great and have decent results. If I don’t dissolve it.I get the runs, every time. CEE disappears in cold water quickly and I feel like I get equal to better results with it. Anyway, that’s my unscientific creatine study.

As for the links. I have not looked at bulk, but I have looked at bodybuilding.com. Bodybuilding.com just seems like a marketing site for it’s own store. Not that thats a horrible thing, I was just trying to get the inside scoup on supplements. I use to really pay attention and know what to get and from whom. Not so much anymore.

Good catch on the creatine. I had it backwards and shouldn’t post when sleeepy. CEE, is a bit pricier but you use less and it’s easier on your tummy. I bloated badly on the monohydrate as was happy when they came out with the CEE. I started experimenting with creatine years ago for hydration purposes rather than body building.

You are right about bodybuilding.com, which is why I hot linked to their store. I have never bought from them as I despise the site layout. I know guys that do buy from them and they are comparable to bulknutrition in overall prices. Bulknutrition’s revamped website sucks monkey balls as well. It’s frontpage looks like the worst of the muscle magazines from the 70s and 80s but at least the site is easy to navigate.

If you invest the time and shop the various online discount houses you can save a few $ on products but get killed on multiple shipping charges. I haven’t purchased from bulknutrition in years, not since they relocated their brick and mortar facility. I check the closeout sales a few times a year at tf and stock up when they have 50% off or better on what I want. Two weeks ago they had 7 pages of closeouts, down to 2 pages today. They price the stuff to move.

Hopefully others that are up on the current best clearing houses will post some links.

Concentrate, $5/lbs in bulk.

Isolate, $7/lbs in bulk.

Blend, just under $6/lbs in bulk.
http://www.true protein.com/Pro … cid=22&pid=6839

I know guys that shop the above sites for both price AND quality. For instance you can even do custom blends. For price alone you should be able to get isolate for about $5/lbs at places like supplementwarehouse.

Thanks iamaru - Ill check it out

Hate to break the news but the bodybuilding community pulled cee from they’re products a few years ago
Your unscientific study is flawed but it’s ok because I have scientific studies for you to read

"After carefully reviewing every creatine ester available on the market place, the following results were found: All are regular creatine monohydrate mixed with an acid or without."

http://www.disc ussbodybuilding … ud-m105403.aspx

CEE is not a true covalently bonded ester
This means that it is infact a scam with the compound ionising in solution to free creatine, as does the monohydrate and all salts of creatine. In this case CEE would again represent no advantage over creatine monohydrate, except to the seller who can double the price.

Although CEE is probably not harmful in any way, it seems that it simply may not be as efficient as creatine monohydrate, and for sure it is no more efficient as creatine monohydrate. It therefore seems logical to save money and buy the type of creatine which is tried and tested: creatine monohydrate. My point is even if CEE formulas do work somewhat, they are certainly no better than monohydrate. And the outlandish claims that CEE gives ‘no water retention’ and such like are preposterous.

Test Results After 120 Minutes

72% of the initial CEE was available from CE2.(your pissing out most of it)
Only 11% available from San CM2 Alpha.
In contrast, more than 99% of the creatine remained available from CM.

I don’t even mix mono when I take it I just throw it on my tounge and rink grape juice, anyway cee has been debunked as a superior form and it is not as effective as mono
However the good news is this
You can now move on to creatine that works from beast nutrition,green mag, storm, or if you want to keep trying something new concrete however I stay away from that because it’s new like cee was after some studies I will drop money but I don’t have it to waste to get colorful urine.
