Recommended freaking sick, i take it everyday and also post-workout. I gain about 10 lbs waterweight every time i use it, i get off, i lose all of it and then i gain about 2-3 lbs back while im off it whereas before i went through my first three years of high school not gaining 1 pound and the best part about it...YOU KEEP ALL THE STRENGTH!!! if you want to get stronger, this should be at the top of your list! dont get fruit punch mix though, its wayy too sweet...go flavorless its better

Maybe Recommended Taste: Blue Rasberry not bad very sweet especially mixed with grape juice.

Mixability: A little bit residue after shaking or stirring but most goes down.

Effect: A little Boost here and there. It got me a bit bigger and a bit more reps.

Gains: Then and there but not to where it was very noticeable.

Overall: GNC talked me to buying it so I felt abit scammed sice GNC's mainstream. But it heloed since I was low on money so if your new to Creatine or low on cash than I'd recomend it.

Comparisons: Ive tried CellMass (Huge Gains) and ON brand (decent and noticeable) and another GNC Creatine (Hardly anything) VoluGro( Nothing special). And this ranks somewhere between GNC brand and Volugro.

Overall I had better. This is more for those who dont wanna get huge but have a fit sculpted body if that helps in any way.

Recommended First Review!! I've been using This pruduct for about 3-4 years now and theres a reason for it. I love it!! For me it definently helps put on size, helps strength gains, and overall performance. It can Upset your stomach sometimes but not constantly, definently nothing you cant push through. I take it pre workout with Gold Standard 100% Whey, and essential Amino Energy. And also take it Post Workout with Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60, Fish Oils, GNC multivitamins, and a ofcourse 1 Bananna! Oh another great thing is its pretty cheap and Lasts Fooreevverr!!

Recommended This is nothing but creatine monohydrate, pure and simple. There are so many creatine products out there pyvurate, kre alkalyne, ethyl ester, hcl. Some of the blends are great some swear by them, some hate them throughout all these blends monohydrate stands alone as one of best, most reliable supplements on the market. This particular monohydrate worked well for me, of course with monohydrate you will have some water retention. I saw an increase in strength which was great. What's nice is that this product is very cheap, and its effective. A lot of the other different types of creatine have not been studied well and the experiments have been riddled with extraneous variables that compromise the internal validity of the experiment which just ends up with false results. In my research methods class we looked at several popular creatine blends (not going to name anyone) and found major defects concerning the parameters of their experiments. Creatine monohydrate (as far as I know) has been the only form of creatine proven to effective in published studies. This is not to say that the other versions are not good. I love kre alkalyn and I think it is a phenomenal product and I have also responded well to ethyl ester and pyvurate. Its just that you should be careful about the studies that you read. Besides from a bloated feeling every now and again there really isn't any bad side effects with this product.

Recommended I began taking Creatine Monohydrate when I was 15 years old. It made me what I was in football. Now, Im sure there's some sort of mental aspect to taking any supplement. I know that once I started taking Creatine I worked way harder in the gym.

That being said, here is a break down of my numbers before and after:

Sophomore year, around December...

Bench: 200
Squat: Unknown - didn't even do squats since I had a torn medial meniscus that needed scoped as squating as a freshman
Power Clean: Neglible - don't recall, but I was weak..hence the lack of squats

After Senior season... Just two years any many jugs of creatine later.

Bench: 335
Squat: 430
P-Clean: 255
40 time: UNKNOWN - I cramped up a ton during 2 a days. Tried to run my 40 yard dash and pulled up half way down. Never took creatine again until recentl The cramps aren't too bad, but it would be horrible to cramp up during an important game.

Actually, I stopped taking it after cramping up because I had also been having prostate cramps when I would urinate, if it was hot.

FYI: Creatine also works well for drug test passing. It tends to flush the water out of your system.
Pros:
Cons:
  • Increased Energy
  • Builds Muscle
  • Gives You That Needed Extra Push
  • Pros: Tasteless
  • Good Value
  • Cramps

While taking creatine you need to take in more water than usual so you won't cramp up or have any cons

Recommended After trying countless creatine products I realized that going with the regular monohydrate is your best bet. I got pretty good Muscle and Strength gains. I really like how it is flavorless so I can mix it with any drink or protein shake. Only bad thing is mild upset stomach. All the other creatine forms are not worth the price or the hype. Anyone looking to get a creatine product should ignore the hype of all the other creatine products and just go with the monohydrate in bulk.

Cons:
  • Builds Muscle
  • Good Value

  • A Little Belly Ache At First

Recommended Iam on board with this being the bet bang for your buck with creagtine! It is a simple incredient profile, I had some awesome gains in size when using this s they recommend, along with a good diet, sleep and workout regimen, of course.

I used with my first jug of Gold Standard a while back, maybe 8 mo or so ago, and used about ahalf a teaspoon, a little less than recommended. It says to take 5g of the product, but the ceiling on most people with creatine mono is like 2 or 3g, so in essnse you'd just be ***ing out the rest.

The only side effects or negatives from this i should say, is a little water retention, and some digestion problems when i first started. Nothin too terrible to put a damper on my opinion on the product.

For 7 bucks with the gold card, this *** is well worth it, every penny IF YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS! If not, you will be wasting money, and wondering wy you arent getting any of the promise gold from the most scientifically proven supp on the face of the earth!

Recommended Not all creatine is created equal. You do not want creatine made in Chine, and you would rather have german creatine if possible. I do not know where GNC has this made but it works. I did a 6 week cycle with a 5 day loading phase. I recieved quality power gains and nice endurance. Small size increases but i was not looking to bulk up too much considering I use a 30 min cardio session after every lift session. I had no bloating at any time, though Gas was an issue. No cramping either.
