- once a day , no need for 3 doses
- no loading phase
- no bloating
- superior bioavailability
- requires less physical product (750mg-1g per 100lbs)
- easier to mix
- more affordable
This is unflavored tho so grab a cheap water enhancer to get it down.
It's based on dosage, so you can either take a small dosage 3 times a day, or just take the full 3-5grams in one sitting. You typically won't need more than that, so not even sure who is taking three 1.5gram dosages in a day. Unless, you're referring to Loading, which again, that's entirely up to the person when they're starting out.
Bloating is relative to each individual and to dosage. The science behind HCL not showing GI issues is hypothesized to the lower dosage. Still, it's not entirely conclusive.
Yes, it's relatively more bioavailable, hence the lower dosage. So take the 3-5g of monohydrate and you have the same results.
Ease of mixing depends from different sources. I've had good and bad results with Monohydrate from different brands/sources, and similarly with HCL.
Really all it comes down to is preference and pricing. If HCL is noticeable cheaper and you're used it, go for it. I just don't see all these points you bringing up as being a huge deal.
Lastly, I'll leave this NYTimes article here. Certified daily supplements certified this brand as containing the stated ingredients, which is what I was looking for from the world of poorly regulated supplements in order to commit to the purchase.

you can get a 30 serving tub at walmart for like $20 and it's even flavored.
tho i just buy it in bulk from someone who makes many different health supplements.

if no bloating, better mixing, better absorption, and better value doesn't seem like a huge deal then you're logic is obviously flawed, it's way better.
thanks for pointing out that using more monohydrate is required for the same result , that's exactly what im saying. It's also cheaper per gram than monohydrate, and takes less for the same result , making it obviously a better choice.
im just letting you know theres better options than monohydrate out there, you can drink whatever you want but be real creatine HCL is better in every aspect. Just because monohydrate can do the same thing if you do 3x as much, doesn't mean its the same, it means to takes 3x as much to do the same thing, making it a worse choice.
creatine isn't just for lifting - it can help your brain and all kinds of things. Ofc monohydrate folks are used to guzzling down hundreds of grams of it per months, wish ppl would just do the daily dose one instead of constantly badgering their kidneys with it
using excuses like "most ppl here are already on monohydrate" is just not effectively arguing against why creatine HCL isn't more efficient or better for you. Probably because you can't make that argument, since it's a fact that Creatine HCL is better in every aspect of human consumption when compared to monohydrate. I'm not worried about your preference or speculations on shoppers on slickdeals. I'm talking fact, monohydrate taste awful and is such a bitch to mix, creatine HCL is just way easier you throw a couple scoops into a bcaa or pre workout or something and it's done. No fighting bloating and shit. Not only is it cheaper per gram, the effective dose is like 3x smaller, so you save money per gram and per dose - but buy whatever you want to - im just saying , its better = )_

fair point, to each their own, it still has some studies and shown to be perfectly safe so far. just wanted to let ppl who take creatine know about creatine hcl as its starting to become more and more common even in places like wal mart with the con-cret patented stuff. i mean fda has to approve that before its on a shelf at a grocery store. however i understand and respect your caution, i will say personally creatine hcl hits different, idk exactly why i think its because of the less bloat and less amount needed when mixing it, it gives a good effect but you have to remember to drink water with it. I try to get down 20oz immediately after. if you're one of those guys who needs a celebrity endorsement jim stoppani recommends creatine hcl and im pretty sure he has an actual doctorate.
tho that's exactly what myprotein tells people , right next to their giant ad for their monohydrate lolol

the fact con-crete has an approved patent im sure the fda verified it to be safe for consumption, either way, it's not an unsafe supplement
the fact con-crete has an approved patent im sure the fda verified it to be safe for consumption, either way, it's not an unsafe supplement
.. The FDA.
Simply put, the FDA has made sure it is safe because it wouldn't be for sale if it wasn't.
The FDA has regulated the sale of it,
So you can use whatever word you prefer to make that statement lmao
and i'm pretty sure food patents (since creatine actually comes from food and this is a dietary supplement) have some part in that process.
at the end of the day the FDA is what makes it not a grey area supplemtn, like the original reply was intended to do.
like really "regulating" creatine hcl by the fda implies some kind of verification process done by the FDA that verifies the integrity and safe consumption of products. That process inherently approves or denies a product's ability to be sold in stores. like you're just nit picking words this isn't a medical device its a dietary supplement
