Review on 💪 Optimum Nutrition Micronized Creatine Monohydrate Powder - Unflavored, Keto-Friendly, 120 Servings (Packaging May Vary) by Matt Addison

Good day to all sports lovers. I want to share with you a review of Optimum Nutrition Creatine Powder creatine monohydrate. Surely everyone who has even begun to be interested in taking additional sports nutrition at least a little knows that creatine is a supplement with an impeccable evidence base. Its correct use leads to a significant increase in strength indicators and overall endurance in training. That is why creatine is usually the base for all pre-workout complexes. Moreover, a significant plus of creatine is that it is always a quality product, because it is extremely cheap to manufacture and it makes no sense to fake it. So you can safely buy creatine from almost any well-known brand. But, the subject of today's review is Optimum Nutrition Creatine Powder, which is the best creatine I've tried. Optimum Nutrition Creatine Powder costs about 300-350 hryvnia (about 800 rubles) for a 300-gram jar. The volume is also larger, but such packaging is the most popular, because it is enough for a full-fledged course lasting 1-2 months. Although the price of Optimum Nutrition is one and a half to two times higher than most other manufacturers, this is not particularly felt in creatine. In general, the cost can still be considered affordable. Also, a plus can be noted that this creatine can be purchased at any sports nutrition store, and probably in almost any country in the world. The external design of Optimum Nutrition Creatine Powder is made in the manufacturer's corporate style and is recognizable from any distance. Creatine Monohydrate Powder comes in a durable black plastic jar. The front side of the label shows the product type and weight. This is pure creatine monohydrate, so there are no additional ingredients and no need for a lot of text on the label. On the back of the label, as expected, such information about the additive is indicated. But, there is nothing special to paint here, we have a pure product. Unless it will be useful for someone to learn how to prepare creatine for use. All information on the back is in English, but there is a sticker of the official importer, where you can read the basic information in your native language. The Optimum Nutrition Creatine Powder itself has the typical white powder consistency and doesn't smell particularly good. Creatine should be prepared by dissolving it in juice, sweet water or any other drink with glucose content. But, it should be remembered that creatine is poorly absorbed in the presence of caffeine, so it is better not to consume coffee an hour before and an hour after taking creatine. There are loading options for creatine monohydrate, but I prefer just 5-10 grams per day as there is research that doesn't make much of a difference. It is worth noting that the powder form is not the most convenient, especially if you want to use creatine before training, then it’s not really necessary to carry a jar of Optimum Nutrition Creatine Powder with you. In this case, I can recommend an excellent creatine monohydrate in capsules - Olimp Mega Caps 1250. As for efficiency, creatine acts on absolutely everyone, and on whom it did not work, this is a neglected option and it is better to look for another sport. For example, my weights in basic exercises increase by 10-20 kg per month. Yes, strength mainly comes from the increase in total body weight, which comes from water retention, but still. At the mass-gaining stage, creatine is great. And for ectomorphs, this is generally an irreplaceable thing, they should buy it even before protein, immediately crossing the threshold of the hall. There are no side effects of creatine as such, but it does make the kidneys work a little harder. So it's best to limit your salt intake a little while taking creatine and not sit on it for more than two months. I definitely recommend Optimum Nutrition Creatine Powder to both beginners and experienced athletes. For those to whom the price may seem high, I can recommend a good budget option - OstroVit creatine.
