whey vs creatine

[(JJ)]

i've recently started using a protein supplement to help with gaining muscle and strength, but i've always heard things about creatine supplements helping with this even more. can anyone (preferably with experience) offer some advice as far as this stuff's concerned?

You'll probably see more gains with a whey supplement than with creatine when taking either one by itself. So if its a question of money, it would be better spent on whey. If possible you should combine the two. Most people I know, including myself, that take supplements combine them.

It's like comparing apples and oranges. They do different things. Whey is pure food, protein for building muscle. Creatine helps with recovery and a whole bunch of other ****. Usually people get sufficient amounts of creatine from normal foods, like red meat.

Now, if it comes down to picking only one of them (because of money reasons or whatnot), go with whey.
