Optimum’s Micronized Creatine Powder Review

July 16, 2016 By Editor

Optimum Micronized Creatine Powder by Optimum Nutrition Review

Optimum Nutrition’s Micronized Creatine Powder is a one-ingredient creatine supplement for increasing power output and lean body mass.

Optimum Nutrition is an award-winning American supplement company that manufacture supplements in every product category.

Ingredients Label

Optimum nutrition Micronised Creatine

Active Ingredients

Creatine Monohydrate

Creatine is an organic acid that occurs naturally in foods such as meat and eggs. Supplementation allows for consumption of greater amounts than are possible from food.

Creatine Monohydrate is the most proven and cost-effective form of creatine.

It increases the production of energy (ATP) in skeletal muscle, resulting in increases in both power output (1) and endurance (2).

The effective dose is 3-5 grams daily, taken over several weeks.

Who Takes It?

Any athlete wishing to increase their performance may benefit from Optimum Nutrition Micronized Creatine.

How to Take

Mix 5 g with water daily, and consume alongside a high-carb meal.

A “loading” phase may be beneficial over the first week of supplementation. This would be 20 g per day, spread out into 5 g doses.

Side Effects

Creatine increases muscle water retention, meaning you may gain some water weight. A sudden increase in bodyweight of around 2-3 kg is common.

Stomach cramping can occur if creatine is taken with insufficient water.

If too much creatine is supplemented at once, it may cause nausea or diarrhea.

Pros

  • Right to-the-point formula offering the most cost-effective and proven form of creatine (monohydrate)
  • No unnecessary extra ingredients have been added

Cons

  • No flavour, leaving it with a very plain taste

Conclusion

Optimum Nutrition gets right to the point with this Micronized Creatine Monohydrate, making it very cost-effective.

Although it has no added flavours or “special” ingredients, it is a solid product that will increase power output and muscle mass.
