MuscleTech Creacore, Concentrated Creatine HCL Powder, Lemon Lime, 80 servings, 9.81 oz (278g)

This stuff is really great. I cycled BSN Cellmass for 3 months to get my creatine fix, and loved it. The taste was great, and the results were equal.I wanted take my workouts to the next level, and instead of a recovery drink with creatine, I wanted to go pure creatine. I first chose Con-Cret in pineapple. It was micro dosing and the servings were very tiny. It tasted pretty bad, but nothing I couldn't stomach. I only used one container and wasn't that impressed.I read about Creacore and it got really great reviews as far as results are concerned. The one horror story I heard, was the taste. Honestly, how bad could it be? Oh...it's THAT bad. This stuff tastes like pure garbage! Imagine finding some old Smarties in your gramma's attic. Upon closer inspection, you realize these candies are from the 1960's....AND they are soaked in vinegar and ginger root. That's kind of what this tastes like. It's really bad. I end up just dumping a scoop of powder in my mouth, and then rinsing it down real quick with a swig of water.So, why is this stuff that bad yet still a top seller? Because it works! I am pushing lots of weight, very quickly. I've increased my weights each week, and continue to have no struggles. Eventually I'm sure I'll top out, but this stuff is legit! Forget the taste, and hit the weights! You won't be sorry! Unfortunately, because of the horrific taste, I couldn't live with myself if I ranked 5 stars.

I would be lying if i said this tasted good. It's BITTER! The funny part is the packaging says it' has a new and improved flavor.But with that said it has creatine HCL for cheap which is hard to find. Creatine HCL is the new "hot" thing in body building. apparently there was a study that claimed that 5 grams of monohydrate creatine was needed since your body does not absorb it all due to the solubility in water. SO HCL is a salt like creatine that has better solubilty and therefore has a lower recommended daily dose of 1.2 grams. A single scoop of creacore is 1750 and they state that if you are concerned your body isn't getting enough you can use two scoops. I personally take one scoop with my pre-workout before my workout, and one scoop with bcaa's and EFA pills after working out.I love the added benefit of including fenugreek as well. Fenugreek is purported to be a testosterone booster. Keep in mind that their is conflicting studies on if Fenugreek actually works to boost testosterone.Please note that too much creatine monohydrate will cause stomach bloating and cramps, however, i haven't felt that way while taking Creacore so that's always a good thing. Compared to other hot creatine supplements such as kre-alkalyn or micronized creatine, I feel that creatine hcl is the best option if you want to drink your creatine, especially at this price!

I take 2 scoops of this after every workout and 1 scoop on my off days. This tastes a lot better than it used to when I first started almost a year ago. I got used to the taste after a couple of weeks, and now I actually enjoy it. It's refreshing. It dissolves fast in cold water using a shaker with a metal ball inside. I normally weigh 180 pounds. When I'm consistently taking it, I weigh a few more pounds up to 185 and my muscles look bigger. It's very obvious in the mirror.I have been working out between 3 to 5 days per week almost a year now. I take whey protein in the morning and after working out, a pre workout drink before every workout, this creatine after working out and half dose on off days before bed, and casein protein in the morning and before bed. I have been doing this combo almost a year now. My arms doubled in size. My chest and back got a lot bigger, too. I can't really say Creacore did all that, but it must have helped.

I am not a hardcore body builder so I don't lift 5+ days out of the week. I get 3, maybe 4 sometimes and I don't keep a regular routine from week to week, I'm in my early 30's so I'm a little more relaxed with it. With that said I have always been pretty thin and it seems impossible to gain weight no matter what I eat or how much I work out, (I have done 5+ days a week of hard lifting before over a long period of time). I use this stuff only on days when I work out so my servings are less than is recommended and I know I am not getting the full benefit that I could be but I still put on 5-7 lbs. in the first 2 weeks of using it. In doing a lot of reading it seems as though a lot of that may be water retention, but still, with my frame, metabolism and weight history I give it credit as nothing else, in my limited trials, has ever done that for me. At this price its worth a try.

This is a great product, I don't understand all the one star reviews because of the taste, honestly it doesn't taste that good, but you get used to it and now I enjoy it in my protein shake. I don't see how you can give one star just on taste alone, that drives me nuts, this is a supplement to gain muscle, if you can't man up and drink it down then maybe supplements aren't for you. It works if you workout like your supposed to and eat like you should, if you expect it to taste great and do all the work for you, then your in your own fantasy world. I recommend this creatine, its price is great for what you get (hcl). Muscletech is starting to win me over.

It is a very effective form of creatine. I am doing strength training for last several years, I tried normal creatine mono hydrate form before but this form is readily dissolve in water and absorb in body quickly. I think Fenugreek may be playing a role here .The not so likable part is taste. I bought the Lemon-Lime. The flavor is like some artificial chemical base and color is green.HCL part along with Lemon lime enhances the sour taste- sensitive tooth - please pick different flavor OR add in planty of water OR mix with not acidic juice.Fenugreek gives bittery taste at the end so be prepare for that. I kind a like it but every one is different.

All of these Muscletech Creacore things are delicious. Creatine is sandy and gross but this stuff tastes like candy.
