Hey there fellow fitness enthusiasts! I just had to share my amazing experience with Optimum Nutrition Creatine because, wow, it's been a total game-changer for me! Okay, so let's get real here. When it comes to fitness supplements, I'm a bit of a skeptic. I mean, who hasn't been let down by flashy promises and fancy marketing? But let me tell you, this stuff is the real deal! I've always been passionate about staying fit and hitting the gym regularly, but there was a point when I felt like I hit a plateau. I wasn't making the progress I wanted, and it was so frustrating! Then, like fate, I stumbled upon Optimum Nutrition Creatine, and boy, am I glad I did! First off, the results have been incredible! I've noticed a significant improvement in my strength and endurance during workouts. It's like I can push myself harder and longer without feeling completely wiped out afterward. My buddies at the gym even started asking what the secret to my sudden energy boost was! And guess what? There's no funky taste or weird texture to deal with. It's unflavored, which makes it super easy to mix into my protein shake or any drink, really. Plus, it dissolves like a charm, so no more choking down clumps of powder. Yuck! Now, I don't know about you, but I'm all about quality. I mean, if I'm putting something in my body, I want to know it's legit. Optimum Nutrition has always been a brand I trust, and this creatine lives up to their reputation. No harmful additives or sketchy ingredients here, just pure goodness to fuel my workouts! What really blew my mind was the recovery aspect. I used to dread the post-workout soreness. But with this creatine, it's like a magical elixir that helps me bounce back quicker. It's like I can hit the gym more frequently without feeling like I got run over by a truck. Definitely a major plus in my book! Speaking of trust, I did some research before taking the plunge. And you know what? This stuff is backed by science! It's not some random concoction someone cooked up in their basement. Knowing that it's been studied and proven safe made me feel confident in my choice. Oh, and did I mention the value? Listen, I work hard for my money, and I want it to stretch as far as possible. Optimum Nutrition Creatine totally delivers on that front. It's affordable and comes in a generous size, so it lasts me ages. Alright, I'm starting to sound like a spokesperson, but I'm just so darn excited about this stuff! I can't recommend Optimum Nutrition Creatine enough.

It's tasteless, not expensive, mixes well and I think gives a slight boost during workouts however make sure that you're monitoring your blood creatinine levels and not going overboard with consuming this. It's is not about this product specifically but in general need to be a little careful while supplementing with creatine.

imagine bliss. Pure joy and power refined into a powder more valuable than gold and more like the blood of Christ in a bottle. It makes hair grow back, it makes muscles expand, makes people more attractive and boosts iq 10 fold. I once took more than the average recommended dose and i healed on first contact and i no longer need glasses. It works as a gasoline substitute and a currency in most foreign gyms. I also like to dribble some onto all my food, ive been doing this for years and now i can speak to animals and levitate if i hold a 10 grams of creatine powder in each hand. The only side effect is women and men now find me irresistible. I cant make it more than 10 feet out the door without recieving marrige proposals. Please be careful when using this overpowering product. its not for the weak of heart.

It mixes well compared to normal creatine but I do not think it's a significant upgrade. I just wanted to try this one to know if it mixes well with protein powders as I had some problems with consistency with the normal creatine. If you really want some good mixability and can shill the extra bucks then go for it.

------------------------------------------------------ Price:839 Seller: Cloudtail India Private Limited ------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------- Dear friends, you all know the conundrum prevailing when it comes to ordering health supplements here in India, thanks to the myriads of fake supplements out there. I never had any bad experience buying from Amazon. So I took the chance and ordered ON Creatine from Amazon. I got it delivered the next day. The outer cap seal and the inner seal was intact. When it arrived I scanned the barcode with a QR scanner app which took me directly to the product page. The official importer seal of Bright Commodities was also present. There is no reason for suspicion. But when I mixed it in water(350ml) the mixability was very poor and I could see small black particles in the residue settled in the bottom of the glass. And the creatine is giving me a very slight headache after 15-20 mins of consuming. ------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------- Texture: -------------------------- Finely powdered: Unlike Indian brand creatines which resemble talcum powder, this product was finely powdered. -------------------------- Taste: --------------------------- You all know that unflavoured creatine is pretty much tasteless. --------------------------- Efficacy: --------------------------- Too early to comment on this. I've been off creatine and workouts for more than 8-9 months. I've been taking 5 grams daily( pre workout and postworkout) for about a week. After 5 days I felt a slight change I'm more energetic, good pump and is able to lift few more reps. I'm not sure it's a placebo effect or the creatine working wonders. I'll update the efficacy of the product after a month. --------------------------- Mixability: ---------------------------- This is the real issue with this creatine. Mixability is pretty bad in normal water. Most of the creatines are a little bit difficult to mix completely in normal water. But I've never seen anything this bad(Pics attached for your reference). When you mix it in your protein shake, you won't even notice it. There is a workaround for this issue which I'll write below. --------------------------- Verdict: --------------------------- I'd give this product 3/5. I'm 75% sure this product is genuine but the black residue and mixability worries me. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Workaround to get the creatine mixed with water: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Use 350 ml of warm water( not hot boiling water which will disintegrate your creatine, warm enough to drink, it should not burn your mouth.) and mix vigorously. This way I was able to get it mixed almost 99%. (Pics attached for your reference) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: It doesn't come with a scoop if your previous creatine or pre-workout had a 5mg scoop keep it handy please don't throw it away. The official importers of ON in India 1. NEUVERA Wellness Ventures Pvt. Ltd.(neulife) 2. Bright Commodities Check for the importer stickers and a hologram of any of these two importers on your product. Check the outer and inner seal( attached pics) ----------------------------------------------------- Request to other reviewers and users: ----------------------------------------------------- 1. Please comment below your thoughts about the genuineness of the product. 2. Please mention the seller 3. Please mention other issues you faced using this product. 4. Mention the efficacy and anything else which you feel is relevant. That will be a great help for all of us. I hope this can help you reach a decision. Thanks for your time... Happy Lifting...

Creatine is not a steroid. It is a natural compound produced by our human body in small quantities, also obtainable in small quantities from Red meat like Beef and even lesser quantities from other meat like chicken and fish. Creatine supplementation will help increase your Energy levels (as good as Caffeine sometimes), Increase your brain performance, help with focus, Increase strength in the gym for quick response energy which will help you achieve a more healthier muscle development. Only buy "Creapure" Creatine Monohydrate invented in Germany. Creapure is the most purest Creatine available in market for many many years. ON Creatine is a Creapure certified product. ON is reputable firm for a long time in the body building and health supplement arena. Look for a Creapure certification on the side of the product box or bottle. If it is not there, chances are you bought a fake creapure product. To learn how Creatine works, search for a YouTube video titled " How does Creatine work? by Axis Labs". Basically our body has ATP 3 phosphate molecule, converted to ADP 2 phosphate molecule which releases energy. Creatine offers the newly formed ADP 2 phosphate molecule, a phosphate ion, which again makes it a ATP 3 phosphate molecule. So now you have an unlimited amount of ATP molecules waiting to break into ADP and with each break energy is released. So more creatine = more ATP = More energy during the whole day. I use this Creatine everyday with a warm cup of any liquid such as water, coffee, tea, milk etc . 1 Teaspoon = 3-5 g daily is all that is needed . Try to drink it with a fasting belly for maximum bio-availability and absorption. I use a warm liquid because it helps to dissolve the Creatine and keep it dissolved from re-precipitating back to powder. Re-precipitation can happen if the temperature is low enough and then Creatine will have a hard time absorbing into your gut. This may cause some stomach discomfort. But still this is not normal Creatine , ON Creatine is Micron sized Creatine which should cause the least problems in your stomach even if you take it directly in powder form. Creatine is for everyone young and old. It is a natural compound and does not hurt if taken with knowledge. But it can definitely improve your health and over all well being. There is no over dose of creatine, excess creatine is just filtered out and wasted through the urine. And no, it does not affect your kidneys negatively. So Good luck with your creatine enriched diet. .

by Nick Tumminello Last updated:21/01/1018 Despite extensive scientific evidence, people still have numerous questions about creatine. Coach Nick Tumminello, author of the Creatine Report, clears up the confusion. There have been questions about creatine since 1832, the year a crazy French chemist named Michel Cheveul discovered the acid in skeletal muscle. Fast-forward 160 years … Creatine monohydrate hit the supplement shelves in 1992. Since then, people have clamored for creatine and the questions have proliferated: Parents wonder if it's safe; curious consumers wonder how it works; and lifters wonder how much to take at what times and with what liquids. As the author of the Creatine Report - a free, unbiased, detailed review of creatine literature - I've taken the time to analyze the scientific studies on creatine and speak with many of the world's leading supplement experts to answer every creatine question you've ever had. I did the same with my Protein Report, which is also a 100% free resource. If you're ready to have your creatine questions answered in a simple, straightforward, no BS manner, you're in the right place. I'm about to tell you everything you need to know (and nothing you don't) about creatine: what it is, how to use it, safety, loading, side effects and more. Just listen, learn and apply! 1 WHAT IS CREATINE? Creatine is a nitrogenous organic acid derived from the amino acids glycine, arginine, and methionine. Skeletal muscle contains 95% of all creatine. The heart, brain and testes hold the remaining 5%. 2 HOW DOES CREATINE WORK? According to David Sandler, the Senior Director of Education for the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), "Creatine allows you to have a longer and larger work volume. It helps you get one more rep. Supplementation can increase phosphocreatine and creatine stores by 10-to-40%." 3 WHY DOES CREATINE WORK? According to Jose Antonio, Ph.D., a professor at Nova Southeastern University and CEO of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, "Creatine serves as a fuel source for rapid exercise through increased phosocreatine (PCr) stores." 4 WHO SHOULD USE CREATINE? Quite simply, anyone looking to increase lean body mass, boost strength, and increase anaerobic performance should supplement with creatine. Dr. Antonio explains, "To date, creatine is clearly the single most effective dietary supplement for enhancing gains in anaerobic performance as well as increasing lean body mass and muscle fiber size." 5 DOES CREATINE HELP YOU BUILD MUSCLE? Yes! Specifically, research suggests that creatine offers these benefits: Increases fat-free mass Improves maximal strength (as measured by 1RM bench press) Improve muscular endurance Increases anaerobic power and performance (shown in many activities, including continuous jumping, jump squats, knee extensions, and repeated sprints by soccer players) 6 DOES CREATINE HELP YOU LOSE FAT? Yes! Creatine helps you gain and retain metabolically-active lean muscle tissue, which makes it an indirect fat burner. Put simply, the more muscle you have on your body, the harder you can work in the weight room, and the more calories you can burn both during and after your training sessions. Plus, creatine also helps elevate your metabolism more directly, through its hydration properties. "A well-hydrated cell tends to be more metabolic," said Dr. Antonio. 7 HOW MUCH CREATINE SHOULD I TAKE? Take 3-6 grams of creatine monohydrate daily for maintenance. 8 WHAT IS CREATINE LOADING? For the fastest possible benefits, take 10-to-20 grams of creatine monohydrate daily for 7-to-14 days. This is known as the "loading" phase and will shorten the time necessary to see results from creatine. After the loading phase, move onto the maintenance phase discussed above. 9 WHEN AND WHY SHOULD I LOAD CREATINE? You don't necessarily need to load creatine. It will work just as well after taking a maintenance dose consistently for about 4 weeks. However, when you want a shortcut, creatine loading can produce benefits within 2 weeks. 10 HOW TO CYCLE CREATINE? Most people don't have to worry about this issue. Continual use offers continual performance benefits. 11 DOES CREATINE MAKE YOU RETAIN WATER? Creatine does help your cells retain water, which is good for performance. This can, however, give you a higher body weight. So fighters and other weight-class athletes may need to cycle off creatine from time to time - especially 6 weeks before a weigh-in. 12 HOW MUCH WATER SHOULD YOU DRINK WITH CREATINE? According to Dr. Antonio, "The literature shows 4 ounces of water for every 3 g of creatine." 13 WHAT IS THE BEST TYPE OF CREATINE? Alan Aragon, MS, and nutritional contributor to Men's Health and consultant to the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Kings, and Anaheim Ducks, notes: "Creatine monohydrate is definitely the way to go. Not only is it less expensive than other forms, but it's actually been shown to have better bioavailability." 14 IS CREATINE SAFE? According to Dr. Antonio: "Creatine is perhaps THE most studied ergogenic aid in history. And the science clearly suggests that there are no harmful side effects of creatine supplementation. There is no evidence that it causes muscle tears, harms the kidneys, causes dehydration or myriad other silly myths. If these side effects occur, show me the science!" 15 DOES CREATINE CAUSE CRAMPS? No! Jose Antonio describes another study performed during one season of NCAA Division I-A (FBS) football training and competition: "It was discovered that creatine users had significantly less cramping; heat illness or dehydration; muscle tightness; muscle strains; and total injuries than non-users. Thus, even for athletes who are well-trained, it is clear that regular creatine consumption does not cause harm, and in fact may have a protective effect against certain exercise-related issues." 16 IS CREATINE SAFE FOR TEENAGERS? Yes, and it's also effective. Research suggests that creatine improves strength and performance in teenagers who were already in shape and highly-trained for their sport. Of course, users should always look at label directions and follow manufacturer's suggestions when considering creatine. 17 IS CREATINE SAFE FOR WOMEN? Yes, women looking to get stronger and build a leaner, more athletic body can safely take creatine.
