Creatine Monohydrate

Creatine is a naturally-occurring compound that’s found in animal products such as meat, fish, and eggs.

Research has shown it to be very effective for increasing strength and power output (1).

The monohydrate form is the most well-studied and cost-effective form.

An effective dose is around 5g daily.

Creatine HCl

Creatine Hydrochloride (Creatine HCl) is another form of creatine, which is claimed to be more easily absorbed than monohydrate.

This has not yet been proven, but it is likely to be at least on-par with other forms in terms of effectiveness.

Creatine Ethyl Ester

Creatine ethyl ester is yet another form of creatine which is claimed to be better than the standard monohydrate version.

The research is not yet complete, but at least one study disagrees with this claim (2).

An effective dose is 3-5g daily.

Who Takes It?

Any athlete wanting to improve their strength and lean body mass will benefit from using Crea-Bead.

How to Take

Mix 1 scoop (6.3g) with your desired amount of water, and consume daily before exercise.

Side Effects

Creatine can cause increased water retention in the muscles, resulting in a small gain in water weight.

Creatine may also upset the stomach if taken without sufficient food or water.

Pros

Effective dose of creatine in each scoop
Multiple forms of creatine to cover all bases
Flavoured formula.

Cons

The “special” forms of creatine may be unnecessary
Expensive compared to simpler creatine supplements.

Conclusion

Crea-Bead is a basic creatine supplement that combines three different forms of the compound, in an overall effective dose.

Although it contains “special” forms of creatine, these have not yet been proven to be any more effective than the common monohydrate form, and may add unnecessarily to the cost.

You can expect a standard boost to size and strength with this formula, however you may also get similar results with a cheaper equivalent.
