EEC form? What is EEC?
It is much easier to take down if you use green tea to dissolve it. I
found that for whatever reason that it dissolves more effectively and
gives less stomach irritation. Some drinks do not seem to dissolve it at
all.
I am currently looking at arginine, glycine, and methionine
supplementation as a means of increasing creatine concentration beyond
what would normally be possible via dietary intake of creatine alone.
Glycine also seems to have other interesting nootropic effects, but I
have no tried it yet personally.
