I recently relocated to a country where it’s hard to get sports supplements and had to go off creatine while I waited for my shipment, which included 3 bags of this to arrive. Now a couple weeks in to resuming, I feel more energy in the gym and am finally again hitting PRs during my sessions. Creatine is an incremental gain, but it’s absolutely real. It’s well studied, safe, and helps maximize gym sessions. It also makes muscles appear bigger and has cognitive benefits. Aside from that, creatine is creatine. As long as it’s from a reputable source and clean, the only thing that matters is price. Bulk supplements delivers in this. 10/10 Read more

Yep, you get exactly what's on the outside of the package. This stuff has no flavor and can be swallowed with any liquid you prefer, from coffee to Coke to fruit juice (I down mine with lemonade). It almost completely dissolves and leaves very little grittiness behind, and practically none still in the bottom of the glass when you've emptied it. Having said that, mine is occasionally a bit gritty but that's because neither the (lack of) flavor nor the texture bother me at all, and I usually only give the mixture a quick stir and then guzzle it down. If I were to give it say another fifteen or twenty seconds of stirring, then yes, the stuff almost completely dissolves. And of all the supplements you can spend your money on, including bogus junk like amino-acid concoctions and energy drinks and super-duper high tech protein mixtures, there's only one supplement absolutely proven in multiple tests and clinical trials to both increase muscle size, and with it both strength and endurance. The ONLY one. If you haven't tried it, and you do any kind of intense exercise, you have a real surprise waiting for you. One warning though, don't over-do the creatine at first. Explanation: creatine is a completely safe food additive, and it's also one of the most important elements in energy metabolism and cellular respiration. Accordingly, when you ingest creatine monohydrate, the body reacts by storing it in the places where it's actually going to get used: the muscle tissue. For every gram of creatine the body stores, it also must store three grams of water. This has the effect of markedly increasing the girth (cross-sectional area) of the muscle. If that sounds like a purely cosmetic gimmick, well wrong. I will not go into the biomechanics of how this works, but when you increase the cross-sectional area of a muscle, even if you haven't actually increased the amount of muscle tissue, it gives the muscle a biomechanical strength advantage. Meaning, if you take two identical muscles, with the same number of muscle fibers and mass, and you then make one of them increase in girth by pumping creatine and water into it, the swollen muscle will be able to do more work and move more weight than the normal one. So yes, it increases muscle size, and if you use enough creatine it will do it quite fast and will surprise you. Makes muscles look great. But they also become quite literally stronger. They can do more work, generate more power than they could before the creatine. Which means you add actual muscle tissue faster while using creatine. And since creatine is heavily utilized in energy metabolism you also get a boost in anaerobic AND aerobic endurance. So what's the warning I spoke of above? The first time I used creatine, almost thirty years ago, I was already pretty muscular as I used to compete in bodybuilding. So I read the instructions on the creatine bottle, said "yeah, right" and took triple the recommended amount of creatine. In less than a week my muscles had swollen so much that it actually made the skin around my elbows hurt a little when I bent my arm. So yeah, it is possible to overdo it. And understand that this is not bloat or anything like if you were retaining water from too much sodium and the like. Because the water and creatine are actually going inside the muscle, not just accumulating in the skin, if anything it actually enhances definition and also vascularity (veiny-ness) because it's the muscle itself which has increased in size. In short, if I were a couple of weeks out from spring break, and I had been too lazy to hit the gym as hard as I needed to to get ready for the beach, those two weeks I'd be hitting the creatine hard and whatever muscle I did have would be greatly enhanced. Like I said it works fast, in the matter of a few days. If you try this and don't get the effects I'm describing, then you simply aren't using a large enough dosage. The only real risk is you have to remember to keep yourself heavily hydrated (e.g. drink water, lots) because if you don't, the creatine can pull enough water out of your bloodstream and interstitial tissues to actually cause dehydration. It won't kill you, but it could be dangerous if you were exercising outside on a hot day. So, all you have to do is make sure you drink a lot of water and you're home free. Aside from that the stuff is as safe as eating a chicken wing. And because it has such a wide variety of positive effects, it's the one supplement that's almost universally used by endurance athletes, like those insane ones who do marathons and triathlons; by gymnasts and powerlifters who will put to use any increase in power they get from any source; to those primarily exercising for cosmetic reasons, meaning the bodybuilding meatheads you see at the gym. All of them get benefits from it. You will too. Read more

The item is a 1-kg (2.2 pound) bag of mironized creatine monohydrate. As a health and fitness professional, and exercise enthusiast, I include creatine into my daily regimen. The health and fitness benefits of creatine is well documented as it is the most researched supplement on the market. I personally prefer creatine monohydrate over other types of creatine, more specifically the micronized monohydrate as it mixes better and absorbs faster than other varieties. I don't have any data comparing this brand versus that brand, but I chose this brand because it was not only a great value and appears to be a reputable manufacturer that has their product quality inspected and third party tested. The product I chose is also unflavored, as it is easier to mix in with a variety of different drinks, but I mainly just add it to my daily protein shake as a supplement to dietary intake. Read more

Alright, folks. If you’re looking for the kind of power that turns you into a gym legend, without the need for a cape or an actual superpower, this creatine might just be your secret sauce. And let me tell you, after adding this to my routine, I don’t know if I’m lifting weights or auditioning for the next superhero movie. This creatine monohydrate is unflavored, which, depending on your taste buds, might either be a blessing or a “hey, it’s basically a performance-enhancing mystery powder” situation. But honestly? It’s tasteless and gets the job done, which is pretty much all I care about when I’m pushing through that last set of my workouts. Pros: • Micronized for easy absorption: They’ve made sure this stuff goes straight to your muscles, not your stomach, so you’re not walking around like a bloated balloon. No one likes that feeling. • 5000mg per serving: That’s right. We’re not playing around. This is the real deal. You want to feel like you can bench press a small car? Well, maybe not literally, but it’s got your back in that department. • Gluten-free: So, you can skip the gluten guilt while getting swole. Go ahead, have that protein shake with no worries. • 1kg pack: You’re basically getting enough creatine to last you a whole gym lifetime… or at least a few months of intense leg day sessions. Cons: • It’s unflavored, which means it won’t taste like a fruit smoothie, If you’re the type who wants your supplements to taste like dessert, you might not love the “taste of results” that this offers. It’s like a blank canvas. Not bad, just… plain. • If you’re not into mixing powders, this could be a hassle...I get it, you’re busy. But hey, don’t worry, this stuff mixes easily, unless you’re trying to drink it with a fork. Pro tip: Use a shaker bottle, genius. If you’re in the market for a creatine that will actually help you power through your workouts and possibly gain some serious muscle (or at least make people wonder what you’re secretly on), this is your golden ticket. Just don’t expect it to come with a side of “flavor explosion”, we’re here for pure, unadulterated power. So, grab your shaker bottle, add this magic dust, and start lifting like you’ve been doing it for years. Read more

My husband and I work out consistently with weights and HIIT training and have been taking creatine for years. We decided to try this brand because of its reviews and affordable price point. We have been very pleased with it and will continue to purchase it. It helps us maintain muscle and is hopefully doing its job neurologically. We have never had any kidney issues from taking this. We mix it into our post workout drink or on non-workout days we add it to our morning smoothie. It does not have a smell or bad taste to it and seems to blend easily with a shaker bottle. Read more
