Is it worth doing? From a cost standpoint, it depends on how much you value the time it takes to mix up a batch every month or so. If you have a supplement mix that you like, but wish were a little different, this might be worth trying. A squirt of MiO does a pretty good job at masking the most heinous of concoctions.
I buy my 90% pure isolate from them.
20kilo bag right from the manufacturer.
I think i'll stay with the micronized creatine i get from them as well.
Don't want to risk the gastric issues some people report with non micronized. It's not expensive. I get a kilo bag.
Those two, and a little MCT oil, raw cacao powder and maybe some other things is my midday meal on workout days.
Usually after bench and before squats.
I make my own pre-workout.. but it's only creatine, beta alanine (hey, i like the tingles), and a flavor mix (Like propel packets or those Mio flavoring). I take 200mg caffeine pill with that and I'm good to go. I LOVE being able to flavor it how I like and it's a pretty cheap overall mix.

I always thought of creatine and beta-alanine as everyday supps, since they need to saturate and keep saturated to work properly.

Yeah I take those every day, I just don't do the caffeine if I'm not lifting. I may try to quit the 200mg caffeine soon and see how I respond.
