Creatine is one of the most researched dietary supplements in history. This is largely down to the beneficial claims for it's impact on muscular growth and overall health benefits for the body.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Similarly to Whey Protein, Creatine can come in a few different forms, these being Creatine Monohydrate and Creatine Hydrochloride.

Creatine Monohydrate

❌ May requiring a 'loading phase'

❌ Requires more water to absorb and may not be easily as absorbed 

✅ Quicker and more readily absorbed 

✅ Requires a lower dose than creatine monohydrate for the same results

❌ Very Expensive compared to Creatine Monohydrate

❌ May not work well if consumed with caffeinated drinks 

Creatine HCL

➡️ Have a look Creatine Pros v Cons  for more reading around these types of creatine.

➡️ I currently use Creatine Monohydrate due to the fact I get creatine in my diet naturally and I am not looking to spend loads on a HCL Creatine supplement, when as I have mentioned previous it is only an added supplement and not a replacement.

➡️ I recommend mixing 5-10g daily of creatine in water daily and consume as a normal drink, 10g being if your a bit bigger.

➡️ I try to take my creatine both pre workout due to it increasing my ATP-PC stores and post workout for the muscle recovery benefits

➡️ I try to take my creatine the same time each day as there has been research to suggest this could be benefical.
