Stop wasting your money on ‘new’ forms of creatine

Creatine monohydrate (CM) is the most tested, effective, and safe form of creatine available. It saturates the muscle cells 100% with phosphocreatine, so why do people try to sell other versions?

Because the profit margins on CM are so slim because virtually everyone sells it. So these companies try to reinvent the wheel so they can justify charging you more with ‘special’ forms of creatine like creatine ethyl ester, buffered creatine, and creatine hydrochloride

Creatine ethyl ester has actually been shown to be LESS effective than CM. Buffered creatine was shown to be no more effective than CM despite costing 2-3x as much and creatine hydrochloride had one study suggesting it was more soluble & had better uptake kinetics but it has not been reproduced & frankly I’m skeptical. Regardless, the only benefit to hydrochloride would be you’d be able to use slightly less creatine but it would still cost you more per serving. But it might be useful for people with sensitive GIs

For the most part these companies are simply using other forms of creatine to justify charging you more. Don’t let them part you from your hard earned cash. That is why our Outwork Nutrition recovery product only uses tried and true CM so you get all the gains with no overcharging for ‘fancy’ scam creatine
