Those who are looking for a more straightforward creatine supplement should opt for a basic creatine powder or capsule. Golini, J. (2015). Improved creatine stability and ph profile for Krealkalyn.

Supporting menstrual health and hormonal balance

It’s not the most egregious issue, but when compared to other powders that practically disappear in your shaker bottle, it’s worth noting.

That said, though, this pre-workout formula is extensive and offers not only creatine but an array of helpful pre-workout ingredients, as well — including high doses of caffeine and citrulline, which is linked to improved blood flow during training.

Anything else?

Research suggests that in an omnivorous diet that provides 1–2 g of daily creatine, creatine stores in a person’s muscles are around 60–80% saturated.

Read a more in-depth analysis of each below. Improved Power and EnergyCreatine orate is another type of creatine bonded to a molecule. This time, the molecule is orotic acid. Orotic acid is a precursor of nucleic acids which help optimal cell functioning and energy use from ATP. So this is actually creatine, which has its own energy enhancing properties, and orotic acid, which increases ATP levels in 3 ways. Pros: Creatine monohydrate is the most basic form of creatine and is generally going to be the least expensive. At the top of the charts is creatine that’s enhanced with other supplements (like HMB).

Also, it only works for 80% of users, so 1/5 of people are non-responders to monohydrate! And we still get amazing results from it!
