USN Micronized Creatine Monohydrate Powder 500 g: Improve Your Performance With Unflavoured Creatine, Energy Boosting Pre train and Post Workout Recovery Powder

I yes this has creatine in it all right you can tell when you got really good stuff because you get that sickly after affect from the creatine taste, this is a good make.

Fantastic value for money.

Excellent product easy to swallow as I use a spoon and swallow either water rather than putting it in a drink

Having been into natural (non competetive) "bodybuilding" for the best part of 30 years, I've used many different supplements ranging from protein/weight gainers to zinc/chromium capsules (and even more obscure..) and creatine is one of only two natural supplements that I'd recommend as having noticeable effects (the other being protein/weight gainers). I first used creatine in the early 90's and saw good strength gains (in my 20s) and used it on and off for around 10 years, then stopped using supplements for around 15 years (still training). Now in my mid 40s, I'm no longer as strong as I used to be, but after some deliberation decided to try a course of creatine (more as an experiment to see what effect it would have than anything). First the bad stuff... 1) It can be hard on the stomach (use your imagination...), particularly during the 25g/day loading phase 2) It will make you retain water, which means you'll get heavier (good/bad depending on how you see it, but I've gained 5 lbs in 3 weeks) and you'll get thirsty more often and drink more water (you should). 3) It's a little gritty, even when mixed with fruit juice (I'd say a little like the griittiness of toothpaste), but mixed into a protein shake it won't be noticed. Now the good...(YMMV) 1) I'm marginally stronger at 3 weeks, nothing earth shattering but a small improvement. 2) I've seen a HUGE increase in workout stamina. Whereas I'd normally take 3/4 minutes rest between sets I'm now taking breaks of around a minute and not feeling worse for it. 3) Mentally, I feel sharper 4) The tub I received had 50% extra (750g instead of 500g) In summary, this is a good supplement for folks that are serious about their training and accept the side effects (worth doing your own research too), but I wouldn't recommend this to occasional trainers or as a supplement to be taken continuously over an extended period.

Used it during strength cycles and recovery phases—this creatine’s clean, mixes easy, and does the job. No flavour, no clumps, and no bloating. Scoop’s accurate, and the powder dissolves well in water or shakes. Noticeable boost in endurance and recovery after a week or so of consistent use. No added junk—just straight monohydrate. If you want a reliable creatine that backs up your training without gimmicks, USN’s 500g tub is a solid pick.

Good

Still the best creatine you can buy

After using this product for about 10 months I have seen great results. I take it a month on (strength training), month off (cardio & recovery). On my strength training month I only take 10g per day for a week to load and maintain then for a further 3-4 weeks with just 5g a day in a cup of tea each morning. That seems to be enough to work for me. I notice the affects by about the fourth day of loading. [Note: I weigh about 66kg / 10st 8lb] The only problem I can report is a bit of cramping in some muscles when I push myself but a few stretches soon release the cramps. Personally though, for me, the benefits far exceed the occasional bit of cramp...and that might even be my fault for not drinking enough as I probably don't actually drink that much extra fluid to what I normally do. From what i remember dispatch was quick and the tub it comes in is good quality (perfect size to fit in the cupboard too). Amazing stuff, just drink plenty of fluids throughout the day if taking a high dose.
