MuscleTech has just released a new supplement called IntraVol. IntraVol is designed to be taken while you workout to provide you with energy, bigger pumps, and faster recovery. IntralVol also contains creatine monohydrate! This raises the question, is it beneficial to take creatine monohydrate while you train? It also raises the question, if I start taking IntraVol do I need to stop taking my regular creatine monohydrate supplement?
Personally, I think it’s possibly to benefit from taking creatine while you train as long as it’s consumed with a fast digesting carbohydrate complex like Waxy Maize or Dextrose. IntraVol contains Waxy Maize. And to answer the other question, should I stop taking my creatine monohydrate supplement while taking IntraVol, the answer is no. On IntraVol’s nutritional label the amount of creatine contained per dose is not shown because it’s a “proprietary blend”. I am guessing it only contains trace amounts, not a significant amount, just so they can put it on the label! I would recommend still taking 5g of pure creatine monohydrate powder in your post workout shake.
I would not class IntraVol as a creatine supplement, it’s more of a energy/amino acid supplement. If you want to find out more about IntraVol check out this page or this IntraVol reviews page. If you have tried it before please leave your comments in the comments section.
