Hello,

Strange effect after taking

ErgoGenix:

ErgoBlast
Explosive, Jitter Free Energy Powder*

Mon
So I woke up 9:30 am ate scrambled eggs and took fish oil pill with water.

At 11:30 took a scoop and half of the aforementioned supplement , at 12:20 pm during workout severe heart burn causing discomfort. I still finished my work out but damn!!!

Wed

Exact same schedule but took only one scoop this time and again heart burn.

Fri

Exact same schedule but took only half scoop and still the same thing.

What the hell ??

I used to take C.O.N.C.E.R.E.T - the yellow bottle which had micro dosage - came with a very small scoop and it was by the same company and I had no problems with that.

I've never had any problems with supplements before and I am not allergic to anything at all.

Any suggestions ?

I will be trying out Creatine Monohydrate - Optimum (fingers crossed) that it doesn't do the same thing.

Happens and stays until the time creatine effects has been faded.

So 2-3 hours later there isn't a burn. It isn't a persistent problem and doesn't happen on Tues-thurs-sat and sun. Those days I don't take any creatine.

Dude...Brother B is right. Any time you have a reaction to anything like this stop taking it immediately....

looking thru the ingredient list i doubt its creatine thats causing that its probably something else. try plain old creatine monohydrate i doubt you will get the same issue

Undissolved creatine will cause this. It's common. Mix your creatine in something warm like tea or warm juice. If it doesn't fully dissolve add more liquid and keep stirring until it does.

Micronized creatine mono costs a bit more but dissolves much easier.

Mine was properly dissolved. No clumps or anything of that sort.

Never had any problems like this before with anything. I wonder if I'm getting old and body is telling me to be careful now lol

Ergoblast has more stuff in it then just plain creatine. It's a pre-workout. If you want creatine, just get pure 100% creatine monohydrate. Dozens of companies sell it and it's cheap.

Yeah I kinda doubt it's the creatine itself. Plus I've never felt creatines effects wear off like you claim. It's not the type of supplement that hits you and fades away. At least not in my experience
