Review from ACSM Personal Trainer/Exercise Physiology B.S.
As micronized creatine goes, it's a great price for a product that doesn't seem to vary from one product to the next. Helps in muscle recovery. I do not feel as gassy or bloated as creatine monohydrate. It does not taste bad like CEE (creatine ethyl ester), but CEE absorbs faster. It is more expensive than monohydrate but less expensive than CEE. I will probably go with CEE next time because of the absorption and the price difference isn't terrible - probably $3 per month difference - but if I were to stick with micronized I would buy this product instead of other brands. Pros: -Great price. -No bloating. -Neutral taste (instead of bad taste of CEE). -Dissolves well in water. -Less expensive than CEE (400 servings for $19 instead of 100 servings for $20). -Sturdy bag with reliable resealable component. -Aids in muscle recovery. -Small boost during anaerobic workout. Con: -I wish it came with it's own scooper. Tips: -I would take twice the recommended serving (5g instead of 2.5g). -This supplement is most helpful for heavy lifting and if you are not planning to do heavy lifting, it might not help you noticeably. Creatine is for highly anaerobic exercises (very intense). If you are doing sprints or lifting weights that are heavy enough where you cannot possibly do more than 8 reps, this is most helpful. If you lift things 10 or 12 times and can keep going if you wanted, you won't notice a huge difference. -Drink lots and lots of water because creatine pulls water into your muscles with it (which helps in recovery), and because of that it is very easy to get dehydrated to the point of being susceptible to muscle spasms or strains because there is not enough water in your system.
