BEYOND RAW Creatine HCl Powder, Science Backed, Lab Grade, Creatine for Women & Men, Muscle Strength, Energy Production, Athletic Performance, Cognitive Support, Cellular Hydration, 60 Servings

EDIT: Price literally doubled in last month and is no longer available directly through them. Looks like i'm moving on to another product. Sigh.I've used this for 2 months so far, and have seen definite muscle/strength gains without the intestinal discomfort I get whenever I take Creatine Monohydrate (which ultimately leads to diaherrea).I no longer use nor buy "cheap" workout supplements, or any cheap supplements, way too many included bits of unhealthy garbage in so many of them, you really have to watch it. This brand and its quality seem to be top notch, provide a very good value as well.This powder is dry, clean and like all Creatine, extremely bitter-tasting. I either mix it in a protein shake or just blend it with a little water and chug it down quick - a quick bitter beer face ensues and that's it. If you are willing to forego the least expensive, easiest, safest way to gain muscle from a natural supplement, because of a few seconds of bitterness, I don't know what to tell you. It leads me to believe such people aren't willing to put in the effort in the gym either possibly, as that's usually a heck of a lot more pain and work than whoofing-down a tiny amount of watered-down powder where the taste lasts for maybe 3-5 seconds.I take this after each workout, not before, as studies have shown Creatine is best absorbed and most needed and beneficial when your muscles "need" it - i.e. post-workout. If I'm still feeling sore the day after, I will also take a serving then as well.Literally no other supplement has increased my strength and lean muscle mass like Creatine HCI. I am 50 years old now and am still building muscle and strengthening parts of my body that I've neglected in the past, I could not make nearly as much progress without this supplement, taken regularly/as you should.

I haven’t seen any results yet but it’s day 2, my review is just for TASTE. Yes! It does not taste good, quite bitter, but most things that are GOOD for you, don’t taste good. One good way to mask it, add it in with somePineapple in water, it’ll blend flavor wise with it and make it better.

Superior creatine hcl. Gives the muscles high quality fuel without the bloat of creatine monohydrate. Sure, it costs more than mono hydrate, but it's worth it!

This is my staple creatine. I like the consistency and I feel it does what I need it to do!

Disappointing – Not Worth the MoneyTried this with my partner and we both found it unpleasant. It has a harsh, chemical citrus taste that’s hard to get past. On top of that, each scoop is only 2 grams, so the number of servings per container is really underwhelming for the price. Would not recommend.

Terrible taste, I would prefer it with not flavor at all

Works as described

I used to hate taking creatine. It’s mainly cause I took creatine monohydrate. It would give me headaches and bloating. When I started taking this one, HCL. My head stopped hurting, I wouldn’t get bloated. And one other thing, it mixes way better, no more of that chalky taste. And I personally like the sour taste as well. It is quite expensive but it’s way worth the money, it’s a small scooper so u get so many servings. I bought it like a year ago and still have it. It also works, I got stronger and I noticed more muscle definition.
