Enhances Strength & Power Increases Lean Muscle Mass Enhanced Solubility Added Pepsin for Additional GI Support Patented CON-CRĒT® Creatine HCl 2.5 Gram Scoop Sizes For Quick And Easy Measurement We’ve long promoted Creatine as a staple in any supplement routine. As one of the most extensively studied performance-enhancing compounds, it’s a no-brainer for augmenting muscle growth, strength and even shows promise for supporting cognitive performance [R, R, R, R]. While Creatine monohydrate works exceptionally well for most individuals, some experience bloating or GI discomfort, and some find it intolerable entirely [R]. That’s where Creatine HCl shines. It’s a highly soluble, stomach-friendly alternative that delivers the same benefits without the digestive drawbacks, and we’ve made it the most affordable on the market per gram compared to leading competitors. WHY IS HCl MORE GI-FRIENDLY? There are several reasons why Creatine monohydrate can cause stomach discomfort, which primarily stem from its solubility and absorption [R, R]. Due to its low solubility and incomplete absorption in some individuals, Creatine monohydrate may remain in the stomach for a longer period, drawing water into the area and contributing to bloating or discomfort [R]. In individuals with naturally low stomach acid levels, this problem can be exacerbated because Creatine monohydrate requires a strong acidic environment to break down properly. Without enough acidity, it may not fully dissolve, which can lead to more bloating or digestive upset [R]. Creatine HCl is at least 38 times more water soluble than monohydrate and is more acidic, allowing it to dissolve more readily in the stomach’s acidic environment [R, R]. PEPSIN FOR ADDITIONAL DIGESTION SUPPORT To support overall digestive comfort, we included Pepsin, a naturally occurring digestive enzyme found in the stomach. To optimize absorption and improve taste, mix it with I.V. RUSH™. The added electrolytes help shuttle Creatine into muscle cells more efficiently while also enhancing the flavor of HCl, which isn’t as tasteless as monohydrate [R]. BOTTOM LINE While most people tolerate Creatine monohydrate well, we wanted to also provide an effective alternative for those who can’t tolerate it. The difference for many of those individuals who make the switch to HCl is night and day, and for the most GI distress prone individuals who find monohydrate entirely intolerable, this kind of a product can be the difference maker between them taking Creatine vs. not at all. SUGGESTED USE To make daily use simple, we designed our scoop size for practical and precise dosing. Each scoop provides exactly 2.5 grams. This allows users to easily achieve the full 5-gram saturation dose targeted by the vast majority of individuals with just two scoops. This eliminates the guesswork and inconvenience often associated with Creatine HCl products that utilize unconventional serving increments. Higher doses may be beneficial for people with high amounts of muscle mass, high activity levels, or those who are non-responders to the 1 to 2 serving dose. To achieve maximum benefit, taking an appropriate amount of Creatine daily will ensure your muscles stay saturated.Why Choose Gorilla Creatine HCl:
