MET-Rx Creatine 4200 Supplement, Supports Muscles Pre and Post Workout, 240 Count Per Bottle, 2 Pack (480 Total Count)

First off, this MET-Rx Creatine 4200 works. I literally feel it boost my reps when lifting - I get at least a few, if not many, more for each excercise. There have been any number of times where I wasn't mentally motivated to workout and said to myself, "Well, I'll do a minimal maintenance set". And then, once I have gotten started, the benefits of taking this creatine kick in and I find the workout to be easier than I had thought it would be. My alertness picks up and I wind up doing a full (or more) session and feel great afterwards both physically and mentally. This is part of it: This creatine also acts as a confidence booster on top of the physical benefits it provides.Being a (still thoroughly sexy) guy in my late fifties, my exercise goals have NOT been to absolutely hulk up. I have increased muscle mass, but this creatine ALSO does its magic with endurance/cardio exercises.Based on my desire to balance mass gain along with stamina, my age, and fitness goals, I have been taking half the dosage (3 pills) per day. Also, based on my reading I have chosen to use a 60 Day On followed by 30 Day Off schedule. I do not front-load at the beginning of an On cycle.I have found that I get the best results If I take this and then workout within a 2-4 hour window afterwards. This has worked for me.The only major downside to using this is that it demands that you hydrate heavily, especially in the first few hours after your dosage. You will literally feel an intense physical need to do this. Creatine needs a higher level of hydration to get into the cells and then seems to work as a diuretic. You wind up hitting the bathroom to pee a bit more than normal.I don't have the data to support this, but it makes sense to think that this increased urination could potentially deplete your body at least somewhat of minerals and micro nutrients. So, In addition to a decent diet, I also take a daily multi-vitamin so that I will have no specific concerns for myself. But I would strongly suggest that anyone taking any creatine ALSO take a multi-vitamin as well.This MET-Rx Creatine 4200 Supplement IS worth the 5 Stars I'm giving it. I started using this because I had plateaued in my workouts and was looking for a solution to help me go at least a bit further. This is it.

Happy with my purchase, I would definitely recommend

6 pills is a bit much compared to other creatine supplements I’ve took. Most I’ve had to take was 2 before a workout. It also states to be taken with juice. I’ve always thought creatine should be taken with an ample amount of water.

I would like to order more.

Only creatine im willing to take, i tried switching brands and was unhappy and came right back here. My body does well with the METRX formula and creatine. PLEASE DONT CHANGE IT! Crazy strength gains and muscle fullness with the product

I take these daily but don't real notice any difference. Price is right. I'd rather take the pills because I can't stand the powder it never mixes well

I wish this listing were more forthright that to get the standard dosage of creatine, you need to take six pills daily, which severely undercuts this product's value. You're paying for an 80 day supply and other products are around a similar price point and will last for much longer.

Creatine is very beneficial for physical workout. Clinical research (conducted at the University of Utah) confirms these benefits.As a caveat: creatine needs to be ingested both before and after workouts to maximize its benefits. [While it can and should be taken by men and by women, this product also provides benefit for long-term overall prostate health.]
