Creatine Supplement Guide - Complete Creatine Guide!

You want to buy some creatine that’s going to last you a year!? Optimum Nutrition has just released their pure creatine monohydrate powder in a massive 2,000g! This tub will give you around 400 servings of creatine! And it’s less than $37, which is clearly a bargain.

Here’s what ON has to say about it:

“Each serving of Optimum Nutrition Micronized Creatine Powder supplies a full 5 grams (5000 mg) of 99.9% pure CreaPure brand Creatine Monohydrate. The patented 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.”

So if you’re looking to pick up some cheap creatine that will last you ages, check out this one.

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.

The creatine supplement of the week this week is MHP’s Trac Creatine. Trac was chosen because it’s a unique creatine supplement, combining creatine monohydrate with nitric oxide (NO2) in a sugar-free delivery system. This supplement is only new, but I think once the word gets out it’s going to become very popular. MHP Trac is also one of the few creatine supplements that was designed to be taken pre-workout. There is still much debate about when is the best time to take creatine, pre or post workout. Both arguements have their pros and cons. Here’s a snipped from what MHP says about it’s new Trac creatine supplement:

“TRAC was scientifically engineered to give you unforeseen muscle mass and strength to turn heads at your next training session. hands down! Arguably, the single biggest development in sports nutrition since protein powder, TRAC combines all the benefits of creatine, NO (nitric oxide) and Time Release Technology not in three expensive supplements but in one scientifically superior product that won’t break the bank!
