Straight 10s across the board? It cant be! It is!!!

Creatine is a supplement used by almost everyone in the weightlifting world, but recently Kre Alkalyn, Con-Cret, and other types of creatines seem to have taken over the creatine market. With all these fancy new creatines out there, people tend to forget the most time tested, and most basic, and in my opinion the most effective form of creatine. Creatine Monohydrate.


Ingredients(10/10): Again, very simple. just 5 grams of Creapure per Teaspoon. Thats all. No fillers, no extra ingredients, just plain ol' Creapure in a container.

Taste/Mix.(8/10): The creatine has no taste at all, even if you mix it in a glass of water. The only problem is, that it doesnt dissolve, so you do get a little grittyness in whatever you put it in. And unless you put the supplement straight in your mouth dry, then drink water to wash it down, then you will get some of it stuck at the bottom of your cup or glass. which gets kind of annoying, but this happens with most supplements, specifically creatine anyways.

Effectiveness (10/10): This works just like any creatine out there. Good strength increases, and mass increases. I also got increases in endurance, espcially with things like sprinting. I noticed i recovered pretty well inbetween sets, and i could hit the weights hard with each set. Also the recovery inbetween workouts was increased too, its not a recovery supplement, but the creatine did seem to help. And i cant help but notice that the pumps I got when on the creatine were great as well.


Dosing: I have loaded and gone without loading with this supplement. Loading did seem to help get results faster in terms of strength and endurance, but i did seem to hold more water weight when i loaded as opposed to when i did not. This isnt really a bad thing, but i thought i would note that. Without loading, the results did come within the first 2 weeks once the creatine was properly in my system. Also post workout, i would take it with some source of fast digesting carb like maltodextrin or dextrose.

Price (10/10): In short, creatine monohydrate (specifically creapure) is the best bang for your buck, creatine wise. I bought a 120 serving container for a little over 15 dollars. Not bad huh? Also considering the effectiveness of the product and the cleanliness of it makes it a great deal.


Side Effects: None. Most people complain of bloating, or kidney discomfort, or extreme water retention. I didnt really experience any of these side effects while on this supplement (except for a little water retention). I assume this is due to the purity of the creatine, whereas most poorly processed creatines will cause these side effects.

Overall: This is one of the most basic and most effective supplements for the money. I prefer this creatine to Kre Alkalyn or Con-Cret any day.

Well aside from the fact this *** mixes like sand its a great product. I bought 2000 grams for around $35 and i have barely made a dent in it. Great product, typicaly bloating from creatine, but i have definitely made strength gains on it. would cycle again if i ever run out.

Great product!!!

If u wanna increase your work out and get results, thats the guy!

Huge muscles growth

No taste at all

not mixes very well but it doesnt matters, just put some h20 and be happy!

a totally recommend it

Best Product Optimum Makes! I love this stuff. Ill keep this review simple.

Taste: N/A- just toss a scoop in with your pre and your post workout and you cant tell its there.

Mixability: 5/10- Sometimes a little powder says in the bottom of the shaker, no big deal just add a little more h2o.

Quality: 10/10- Great product! Optimum uses a patented form of german creatine monohydrate called Creapure so it is the highest quality you can get (also know for being the purest)Cant get any better than Creapure.

Effectiveness: 10/10- It does exactly what it is supposed to. It is not a PH nor is it a magic powder but it will help you push it harder in the gym and it will help you get stronger and bigger (If you eat enough). Creatine Monohydrate is the only creatine proven to work in clinical trials. thats not to say other creatines (HCL,Ester,Kre-alkalyn) dont work they just have not been proven. Why risk it? Go with Mono!

Value: 10/10- I bought a 1200g tub for $20 granted I get a discount but you can find it online for around $27. thats 240 servings of 5g of creapure. I take 10g a day so it last me about 4 months. Great deal for Creapure.

this is for those who already know what they're doing. dosage.. loading and maintaining. its basic creatine powder. it works well as well as any and its fairly priced like most optimum products. Like creatine mono it bloats you but does a great job of shortening heal time and helps you build optimum amount of muscle. loading phase i did have some bad gas i was told that was common. it has subsided now that i'm off completely but you have to drink drink drink so you don"t damage your kidneys.

This review will be on Optimum Nutritions Micronized Creatine Powder. I have tried all types of creatines; good ol’ reliable monohydrate, CEE, pyvurate, Kre Alk, chetlate, so its no surprise that I tried the micronized creatine monohydrate. This particular creatine is made with CrePure creatine, it’s micronized so that it stays suspended in your mixing solvent longer, and obviously supposed to have all the benefits of taking a creatine product (strength, power, endurance etc.)


Mixibility – 8/10

We are all familiar with monohydrate and how you chug it immediately after you mix it. Reason you don’t want it to break down, but really it’s because if you don’t down that drink fast the majority of the creatine will settle at the bottom of the glass/shaker. The mixibility is something they stress with creapure. And in all honesty its pretty good. They market this as if it will dissolve seamlessly in water…..which is far from true. But it’s good enough where there isn’t too much creatine residue at the bottom of your shaker.


Taste/Smell/Dosing – 10/10

There is no taste, as ON only makes their micronized creatine unflavored. Sometimes when companies say unflavored, there is still this bitter taste, but with this product there was no after taste or bitterness when mixed in water. There is no smell. Dosing is easy; ON suggests just one tea spoon with a meal of immediately after train with your post workout protein shake or with a meal. I usually took it right after working out and that worked great for me.


Effectiveness - 9/10

I gotta say im a big fan of creatine, and I haven’t had any problems with any creatine (besides HCL which in my opinion is poo) and this creatine was no different. When I took this I was taking nothing else but whey protein and fish oil. I saw gains in most of my lifts. It was nothing spectacular, but enough to make me happy with the product. I was not as fatigued in the gym, and as a result I worked a little bit harder. I remember bent over barbell reps were getting easier, maybe it was because I was getting stronger idk but I would like to contribute some of those gains to this product.


Content – 10/10

This is just micronized creatine monohydrate. ON touts the fact that there are no fillers or additives in this product. “Each serving supplies a full 5 grams (5000 mg) of 99.9% pure Creapure™ brand Creatine Monohydrate.” When you get a cheaper version of monohydrate or even creapure sometimes the company throws fillers and other junk in there that’s not necessary. It’s just nice to know that you getting creapure, and nothing else.


Value – 10/10

This is a very economical product. You can get a 30 serving bottle for 6 bucks, 60 servings for $9, 120 servings for $16, 240 for $29. These are prices from BB.com, im sure you could find it a little bit cheaper if you looked around. Either way you really getting a bang for your buck with this product.


Overall - 9/10

Like I said about this is a very economical, and effective product. I will def be using this product in the future and would recommend this to anyone looking for a creatine product to add to their stack.

I just finished the 300 gram bottle of Optimum nutritionsmono and i would say this is the best creatine i have ever supplemented with, ive also used Dymatized mono as well as kre alkalyn 1500 which i will compare to in this review.

taste 10/10
i mixed maybe 4 or 5 grams of this creatine in my pwo drink and could never even taste it, granted i always shake my bottle before taking a drink, then after my workout i would mix one large table spoon in my post workout protein shake and could never taste it which doesnt happen to often with creatine mono.

value 10/10
this creatine is probably the cheapiest i have ever bought online, even comared to kre alkalyn which is cheap itself, i purchased it from BodyBuilding.com

effectiveness 10/10
this is where the creatine stood out the most, i stacked this with Optimum nutritions Pro Complex gainer, which im not done with but anyways this creatine has provided me with 5+ pounds of body weight and even 10+ pounds on all my lifts.

As an example when i bench my body weight(145lbs) for several reps which is the only way to build muscle fast i usually bust out 15 reps for 4 sets, however i could easily go another set and a half while supplementing this creatine. also i noticed a massive gain in the reps i could do with pullups, normally 3 sets of 8 reps wide grip would give me an insane lat and bicep workout, however i was doing 2+ sets of pullups with this creatine.

Overall i give this supplement a 9/10 only because i did have some slight kidney cramping if i did not drink a full 8 glasses of water a day which i usually drink a gallon but uk everyone has thoes slack days hahahh

i would deffinitely recommend this creatine for anyone looking to add some MASS to their physique or even bust through a platuea with

This is what made me a Monster in the gym. Amazing product. Muscles are showing up. Excellent product. 10/10.
Only problem is the mixing. Sometimes got to keep stirring the water for the powder to dissolve. Take it post workout and helps recovery.

This is my first ever review and will get my other reviews out soon.
First off ive tryed so many creatines as regular mono creatine and also a few different brands of kre alkyan and also cell mass. The kre alkyn sucked bad i gained nothing and increased all my lifts like 5 lb each bottle and that nothing for me. When i work hard i gain weight fast and also i become very strong very fast. This is the best creatine so far. Then it would go Cell mass, then it would go to Regular mono. dont take kre alykyn, it sucks.
Ok i did a tiny loading phase where i took around 10-15 grams for around 5 days and then went to a scoop which is 5 grams with my post work out shake. I did a trail run with this also to see what worked best, post or pre workout. I found out after the two weeks of taking this it doesnt really matter but i found out that after will let you recover alot faster. This is amazing creatine. I also play football and play Offensive line.

AAAAAAA_EffectivenessAAAAAAAA
Ok this helped me out so much it increase all my lifts so much. My sqaut went from 355 to 405 from only 300 grams, also my bench went up from 195 to 215. But like i said above that when i work hard i gain MASS fast. I also play football so im around 215 when i started and now im around 221. This is in two months, I take this everyday even on non workout days. This has caused no bloating, and i drink 1-2 gallons everyday. This has no taste at all. This creatine is Creapure which is made only in germany and the USA so its a very high qaulity and its very good. I really recommened this if you need a creatine pick this up its very effective and cheap its awesome.
AAAAAAAA_ValueAAAAAAAAAA
This is so freaking cheap if your looking to get a creatine this is very good and super cheap for 2 months i got it for 15.99 it was so cheap i love it and i think you will to.
AAAAAAAA_tatseAAAAAAAAAA_
this has no taste i can add it to anything and not be able to taste it. Its not very good on mixing tho. you can mix it to your protien but right after mixxing it drink it fast otherwise it will float to the bottom.




this is amazing creatine if you want to buy one get this one, it so amazing, im going to get dynamize this time becuase i bought it from a friend a full bottle and never used so i was like what the heck why not so im going to buy that and will review it also.


Get this, this is the best so far even better than Cell mass.

Thannks for reading


If you have any improvements for me please tell me.

Optimum Creatine is one of the best creatine’s I have taken thus far. I never took creatine monohydrate for fear of bloating (I’ m sure I wasn’t the only one). But after buying countless “super creatine ” I decided to try it, and I couldn’t be more pleased. I’ am between 200-210 I haven’t weighed myself in awhile and I take 10 grams which is 4 teaspoons if I’ m not mistaken. It took some playing around but this was my “magic number.” Ever since taking it my lifts have increased steadily, faster than they did prior to taking this supplement. I have become more vascular as well I attribute it to the monohydrate because it’s the only addition I have made (my diet has been the same).

So bottom line, don’t worry about the bloating I really have seen little to none. I only bloated twice and that was because I took too much and the bloating only lasted a day so it wasn’t bad. I would 100% recommend this and if I had to give it a rating it would be a 8/10. Reason being this might be a stupid reason but they don’t give you a scooper and they are vague on what a “rounded scoop” is, other than that this is a great product definitely try.
