Creatine is the most researched and still one of the most talked about supplements today – over 20 years after it was
嗌rst introduced to the market! In fact, out of every supplement in sports nutrition history, it’s likely that bodybuilders and
other athletes have made more gains from creatine than nearly every other supplement combined. It’s legal in virtually all
sports associations too, making it the perfect performance and strength supplement for competitive and tested
athletes. It is so essential that it that we would argue that it should be used by everyone looking to build more muscle or
increase sports performance. There’s no doubt if you’re not using creatine, you’re leaving gains at the table.
Very few other supplements have this kind of staying power in our industry, and yet creatine is still misunderstood by
many and undervalued by others, who treat it like a commodity supplement. But make no mistake – not just any old
brand or type of creatine will do. There are still wide variations in creatine quality on the market – and, yes, there is still
innovation coming from creatine researchers too.
How Creatine Works
To bring everyone up to speed, creatine works by increasing the availability of an energetic molecule called
phosphocreatine (PCr).

PCr is the molecule that allows the body to create your body’s energy currency, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), right
inside the muscle for immediate energy. When you take creatine, it enters the circulatory system where it is distributed
to your muscle cells. When it reaches your muscle cell membranes, it begins the absorption process via a number of
specialized creatine transporters. After it’s absorbed, the creatine combines with ATP to produce PCr within the muscle
cells.
Normally, PCr in the muscle cells is rapidly depleted during training, but creatine supplementation increases the body’s
ability to produce work by increasing the storage pool of phosphocreatine in your muscles. This enhances the
resynthesis of phosphocreatine and ATP production during recovery. In the end, creatine will help you lift heavier weights
for longer periods of time – increasing your muscle’ size and strength.
In the last 10 years, numerous new forms of creatine have been introduced. Make no mistake, creatine monohydrate
(one creatine molecule with one water molecule) is the original form of creatine. In fact, no other form of creatine has
been the subject of more studies. However, though creatine monohydrate is the original form of creatine, it’s not perfect.
Think about how many things have been perfected on the 嗌rst try. Not too many. Creatine, like any invention, has
undergone some changes and experienced some innovations over the years. Some so-called improvements like creatine
ethyl ester 뻳휀opped. However there have recently been some innovations reviewed by many athletes around the world as
improvements over the original. These innovations include two new creatine sources: creatine hydrochloride and free-
acid creatine.
Changing Creatine Supplementation with New
Forms of Creatine
Creatine HCl

Creatine hydrochloride, or creatine HCl, is creatine complexed with hydrochloric acid. Creatine HCl is a cutting-edge,
potent form of creatine with unique solubility properties.
Free Acid Creatine is 100% creatine with no water or other molecules attached, making it more pure than even creatine monohydrate!
FreeAcid Creatine
Free of acids and salts, free acid creatine is the world’s purest form of creatine. This is because free-acid creatine is
100% pure creatine. In comparison, the average, run-of-the-mill creatine monohydrate is only about 87% pure – meaning
that it’s about 87% creatine and 13% water.
This means that free acid creatine delivers the most usable creatine on a gram for gram basis, more than creatine HCl,
creatine monohydrate or any other type of creatine available.
The Creactor Formula
Creactor™ is the world’s 嗌rst creatine to feature a 1:1 ratio of creatine hydrochloride and free-acid creatine. Each
serving of Creactor has 1500mg from these two novel forms of creatine – and twice the creatine of the leading
competitor. With Creactor, you get a full daily dose of creatine with just two servings a day. In fact, Creactor is so
versatile you can easily mix it with your favorite protein shake or BCAA drink.

With Creactor™, you get high-quality, 100% ultra-pure creatine HCl and free-acid creatine with absolutely zero 嗌llers,
carbs or impurities which are often found in other creatine supplements. It mixes clean and has the versatility to allow
you to mix it with other protein, pre-workout or BCAA powders you’re using.

Clinically Dosed, not “Micro Dosed”
Let’s get the facts straight: Creatine “microdosing” or “concentrated dosing” is a marketing gimmick designed by
unscrupulous creatine brands to arti嗌cially in뻳휀ate the number of servings that can be labeled on a bottle of their
product. In reality, there is no research supporting the ef嗌cacy of such low doses of creatine per day. In fact, a 150-
pound male can lose about two grams of creatine every day due to it naturally breaking down in the body . Since most of
our readers probably weigh in excess of 150 lbs., you can now see the futility of thinking you’re going to make gains
from a creatine powder that is telling you to only take 1500mg a day.
Creactor sticks to the research. And that research – published in the Journal of Applied Physiology – found that a
dosage of 3 grams of creatine daily for about a month is required to saturate muscles, resulting in increased muscle
strength, increased performance and enhanced muscle size. This is nearly twice the amount recommended by many
“concentrated creatine” brands. Creactor provides this full, scienti嗌cally-proven dose of creatine with only two daily
servings.
With “microdosed” supplements, you need twice the servings each day to get a full, clinical, 3-gram dose! When you’re
only getting half the servings of Creactor and half the creatine per serving, it makes no sense to use anything but
Creactor.
