Just finished my first container of this product and decided that it’s definitely worth reviewing. I believe this is one of the most underrated (in terms of popularity) products on the market, especially, given the fact that it’s made by ON.

Why is it called CGT-10? Very simple, it has 3 main ingredients – Creatine, Glutamine and Taurine. Combined, they weigh 10 grams.


The profile is very simple – 35 calories, Carbohydrate 9g, Sugars 9g, Creatine Monohydrate 5g, L-Glutamine 3g, Taurine 2g. Some may complain about carbs but it helps you to absorb creatine. Speaking of which, all ON’s Creatine is Creapure.


I am going quickly go over the main categories: Taste/Mixability, Value and Effectiveness

-----------------TASTE/MIXABILITY---------------------------------

This product comes in 3 flavors: Unflavored, Lemon Lime and Wild Berry. There is no difference in Sugar/Calories, so I picked the Wild Berry one and that’s the one I will rate for Taste. Well, it’s pretty simple, the taste was exceptionally good. By the end of my workout, I couldn’t wait to have my cold drink. No “chemical” flavor that you get sometimes with Glutamine or Creatine. Mixability was also above my expectations. Usually, with pure creatine, you always have just a little bit on the bottom of the bottle, which is fine, but makes you add some more water. This was not the case with this product. It always dissolved 100% in my water with just few shakes.

----------------------VALUE-----------------------------------------

$14-15 for 30 servings = $0.50 per serving.

Ok, this is the trickiest part. This is not your normal Creatine or Glutamine products; this is kind of a hybrid mix of both + Taurine. If you look at it from the perspective of Creatine only, its slightly over-priced, same goes for Glutamine, but if you add all three ingredients together, you get a hell of a deal of quality product from very good company. Now, I used CGT-10 strictly as my post-workout drink for recovery and gains. However, it has no protein, so you can’t use this product alone; I also had to have protein shake to go with. Do you get a good Value out of it? I think you do, but again, you can’t use this product alone as your pre-workout (no stimulants, no electrolytes, and no vitamin B) or post-workout (no protein).

9/10

-------------------EFFECTIVENESS---------------------------------------

The label recommends using CGT-10 to add to your pre-workout or as a recovery formula. Like I said earlier, I only used it after-workout for a recovery and gains (creatine). It is very simple but effective product. High quality creatine (creapure) and couple extra amino acids did the job very well.

10/10


Overall:

I will certainly buy CGT-10 again. I am just starting my large tube of GreenMag, since I heard many great things about it, but I have a feeling I will be using CGT-10 again in very near future. One last remark, if you plan to use this product as a standalone, get the flavored version, if you plan adding it to to your pre or post-workout drink, get the unflavored one.

I have the Wild Berry flavor and it's pretty damn good actually! Especially if you mix it with a little Gatorade! Just make sure you shake it and slam it all down right away or you'll get a mouth full of grit like all creatines!

I haven't had a single noticable side-effect, just positive results.

I got it mainly for recovery, the creatine is just a bonus for me. And I'm usually pretty tolerant to energy drinks and such, but this Taurine gets me kickin. I use 3 TBSP in 4-5oz of water before and after-workouts. It works like a charm. Recovery is much quicker than with protein blends alone. And I don't get as sore either.

I haven't noticed really any exceptional gains or strength from it, but the little energy boost and recovery benefits are really what I'm looking for! Also does give your muscles a little boost which I'm certainly looking for!

Overall, if you're looking for help in the recovery/energy department, give it a try!

Exceptionally cost-effective.

Mixibility- the majority of what goes in your cup dissolves well, but once finished you do have grit in the bottom.
Taste-Not the worst,not the best. but if you expect a great tasting creatine from every company, you're nuts. However, if you use unflavored, you don't have any worries. If you use the mixed berry with vanilla protein(post workout), it's not a bad combo.
Effectiveness-I feel this is the best creatine I've used... ever. You definitely notice Muscle Gain. The added glutamine only helps. How can you go wrong?

Searching for a supplements to take when i was cycling off of Stimulants(Cellucor C4 Extreme) i came across CGT-10.

Ingredient Profile: Calories 35, Total Carbohydrate 9g, Sugars 9g(Dextrose), Creatine Monohydrate 5g, L-Glutamine 3g, Taurine 2g. nothing really special, very basic.

Taste/Mixability: i had the "Lemon Lime" flavor, it actually tastes like a very bland Lemon Lime Gatorade. that's not necessarily a bad thing, i'd rather have my supplements taste bland rather than too strong. when mixing this, some of the powder would settle to the bottom of the glass with a slight gritty texture, which is a normal thing due to the Creatine Monohydrate. i would just stir it once or twice before taking a drink of it.

Effectiveness: didn't notice anything too major here. it seemed to help keep my endurance at a steady level, slightly improving strength and recovery. although i would like to note that it did cause some minor bloating, wasn't really that bad compared to other Creatine Monohydrates i've tried in the past. still with any Creatine, make sure you consume enough water throughout the day, roughly around a gallon a day.

Value: i ordered 30 servings from AllStarHealth.com for $14.39. i would recommend taking atleast 1 serving daily(2 tea spoons) but if you chose to take it pre & post workout, it could effect the value some. but either way i still think it's a good deal.

Overall: i would recommend this if you're looking for something basic to add to your supplement stack, whether you're new getting into supplements or someone looking to take a product when coming off of stimulants. it's affordable, but don't expect mind-blowing results.

This was a great product from Optimum. I picked this up from Vitamin Shoppe for about 18$ which was not too expensive. Used this right after my lifts. It mixed extremely well in just 4 ounces of water and taste was not bad. Didn't really have any noticeable gains, (muscle mass) while taking this product but it did help me rep out a few extra sets. I drank over a gallon of water a day and didn't notice any water retention at all. Only thing I would add to this product would be some BCAA's and maybe some Beta Alanine. Overall a great post workout drink definaty something everyone should atleast try.

Ive been using this for about 6 months and i love it :) i get the unflavored mix and mix it with my whey shakes and it helps alot with recovery. its hella cheap and i just really love this product. i would recomend it to anyone :)

First creatine product i used. Fantastic results! Felt a surge of energy / power for each workout. Healed relatively fast. No bloating. Easy to mix, tastes great. Take it 30 mins before a workout and straight after. Took one serving on off days. Never had to take a dump after 30 mins of consuming it. Great for the price! Never had to cycle off, great to use when cycling off CellMass or other high in creatine products.

I was very impressed with my first container of CGT-10. It did not cause all of the bloating and gas that I usually get from this kind of supplement. I did notice better pumps and the ability to get a few more reps in after about a 1 1/2 weeks on the supplement. I really did not put on any extra weight with CGT-10 like I do with other supplements similar to CGT-10. Another excellent thing with CGT - 10 is the price. Very cheap for a month's supply. Also has a serving of glutamine and taurine with your full serving of creatine. Taste is good and the drink is relatively low carb. Overall I highly recommend this product for price, effectiveness, taste and little to no side effects!!
