5.0 out of 5 stars If you don't know this is the book that you need, May 10, 2000

By	Phil Huggins (USA) - See all my reviews

Finally a book that explains how supplements work. Very easy to read, this book explains in detail how creatine works and how it should be used. There is more truthful supplementation information in this book than I have found in muscle magizines in the past three years. Anyone who wants to try supplements needs to read this book first to get an edge on companies who sell low grade products.

5.0 out of 5 stars Creatine: Explained, April 23, 2000

By A Customer

This book was very informative about the good and bad effects of creatine and other muscle enhancers. I think that this is a good book for the serious or not too serious weight lifter. Very clear and straight to the point.
