Micronized Creatine Powder At a Glance: Made With Creapure Creatine Monohydrate No fillers or additives     Milligrams of creatine: 5,000

One serving of Optimum Nutrition Creatine provides a full 5 grams (5,000 milligrams) of 99.9 percent pure Creapure brand creatine monohydrate. The production method used to produce this creatine yields a tasteless, odorless powder that mixes easily into water or juice and does not readily settle to the bottom. As a result, the gritty taste or texture you may have experienced with other creatine powders is not associated with this product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Creatine, even better with Glutamine, January 7, 2012

By 

Eric Boswell - See all my reviews

This review is from: Optimum Nutrition Creatine Powder, Unflavored, 600g (Health and Beauty)

I've been lifting seriously for 15 years (minus 14 months when I was recovering from a severe shoulder injury) I've had more success using creatine, in terms of overall gains, than probably any other supplement in this time. Optimum has always been my number one choice for creatine, probably EAS a close second. Whether I'm taking creatine or I'm on a rest cycle, I've always had dramatically better results when stacking my glutamine separately, always in powder form. The best glutamine that I have personally found was on amazon; 250 grams L Glutamine Bulk Powder. Price is pretty good too. I've found that my muscle recovery as well as overall strength and endurance increases so much more when I'm taking glutamine, especially when I'm not on creatine. Hope this helps someone!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Creatine Product Out, September 9, 2009

By 

P. Romasco "Paul Romasco" (Providence, RI) - See all my reviews

I've tried numerous creatine products, including CellMass and No-Xplode by BSN, and have to say this is far superior. I had no changes in terms of size, recovery rate, or strength with the BSN products but only one and a half weeks after starting taking ON's creatine I've noticed a growth of my muscles.

I take 1 tablespoon (5 grams of creatine) 10 minutes before the end of my workout with 8 ounces of Powerade, providing simple carbs that aide in the delivery of the creatine to the necessary muscles. I use a Nalgene to shake it up in and find that it mixes very well. The powder doesn't dissolve but it's not difficult to get it down, just shake between sips. This method helps cover any taste it may or may not have and also makes it easy to mix before drinking. I've definitely noticed a change in the size of my triceps and biceps although I have not altered my workout significantly, suggesting the creatine is the cause.

I would suggest this product, and above drinking directions, to anyone interested in taking creatine.

Remember: work hard; eat healthy; rest up; and stay natural!

5.0 out of 5 stars Inexpensive, High-Quality CreaPure Creatine - Beware Commodity Creatine, April 24, 2010

By 

Michael Rae - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This product uses CreaPure creatine as its raw material, a branded raw material manufactured by Degussa AG Trostberg (formerly SKW) in Germany and licensed as a pharmaceutical would be there. Optimum Nutrition is one of only a few brands in North America that use only CreaPure raw material, and like Universal Micronized Creatine Monohydrate, 1000-Gram Tub is an exceptionally good value for this expensive raw material in a supplement market dominated by cheap Chinese and other amateur manufacturers. I began looking into the question of creatine purity after having bought some creatine from a company that I generally consider to be quite reputable and from whom I often buy commodity-item supplements, and was disturbed by its very bitter and (surprisingly) soapy taste. The company insisted that the lot number was fine, but my subsequent research suggests it was not. The important issues are nicely laid out in two very good articles by Will Brink and readily available on the internet: "What's in your Creatine?" and "What's Really in Your Supplements? - An Update on Creatine". I proceeded to order some CreaPure-sourced creatine and was surprised that, for the very first time, the stuff had absolutely no bitter taste to it: the suspicious supplement had been the only one with the weird soapy taste, but *every* other creatine I had purchased had a mild bitterness to it, which I'd just assumed to be intrinsic to creatine itself, rather than a sign of impurity. Subsequently, I've bought several of the few products that use exclusively CreaPure, and found them to be similarly free of these widespread off-flavors. There is still no proof that the common creatine contaminants responsible for these flavors (dicyandiamide or dihydrotriazine) are harmful -- but why anyone (let alone a life extensionist!) would knowingly put high (relative to likely dietary intakes) levels of organoleptically-detectable impurities of unknown toxicity into hir body is beyond me, especially with a CreaPure product as inexpensive as this one available.
