I've been using my 5 lb tub of ASN creatine for 3 months now, I'm almost done with it. I have some older [maybe 4 months old] creatine monohydrate in pill form, sealed up in bottles. I don't recall the brand but I know it is monohydrate, the plain stuff. I'm just wondering if there's any difference between pills or powder... I assume it's the same stuff??

Also, if I take 1 teaspoon of creatine, that'd be like 5 or 6 pills. I'm wondering if I should crack the pills open and get the powder that way because I swallow a lot of pills already throughout my day and 5-6 more isn't all that appealing. I don't mind breaking em' all, I have plenty of time when all my classes and assignments are done with, weekend free time, etc.

only diff btw pills and powder is that powder would absorb easier and faster.

that's about it man

break them open bro....get the powder out so your stomach doesnt have to disolve the gel caps around the mono. i agree with zack that powder absorbs much faster.

correcto mr.zackattack powder is much more quicker then you have liquid even quicker.
