Alright as all of you know a lot of GNC's products are overpriced and the only reason people buy them is because of the marketing that they do when they really aren't that great of products such as MuscleTech for example. well I work at GNC so I really don't have much info on supplements outside of there and it sucks cuz I know there are other great products that GNC doesn't sell and I don't know anything about them. I guess I'm just tired of paying for over priced products that really aren't as good as some of the products you can buy online. I was just wanted you guys to let me know some good creatine products that I could get online instead of paying a ton of money for a product that isn't really that great.

^^Beats me to it all the time lol

Yeah you should get employee discount or something.. GNC do golds discount card or something too am i right? i m sure you being an employee could get one of those for free

If your new to supps and bodybuilding, i would stick with ordinary creatine mono. Best site, orbitnutrition.

super tuesday hasn't existed in well over a year, its the first week of the month now. most of the time its the first ten days. employee discount is 30% off. also check expirations on products. anything 9 months out starts getting marked down. i work at gnc too and i always get stuff for rediculously cheap. i just bought tru mass for $8 because it expires in two months. just know your products and you can always get a good deal.

Vitamin Shoppe is way less then GNC but GNC price matches. I bought some ON Casein from there and they wanted $45 for 2 lbs!. I had them call and match Vitamin Shoppe's price and I got it for $30.00.

Yeah I do get 30% off, but I just didn't know if there were other good creatine supps that GNC doesn't sell. I've always heard that creatine monohydrate isn't really that good for you.....maybe that's not true but just what I've heard. and where can I get this maltodextrin?
