Guaranteed to be the purest and safest creatine on the market today.
Product Overview - Creatine naturally occurs in the body; it is present in every human cell and functions as an energy store. Depending on body weight and muscle mass, the body stores between 100 and 150gms of Creatine, of which about 2 to 4gms are used every day for normal activity. Half of the required Creatine is produced by the body itself, the rest must be obtained daily from food. For an optimal supply of Creatine, 500g of raw meat or raw fish must be consumed every day. Because this is hardly feasible in practice, supplementary Creatine makes sense and is recommended.
The subject of more than 300 studies, it is one of the most researched of all supplements. Creatine is universally recognized as offering the potential to increase maximal strength and endurance by up to 15% in speed sports as well as intensive weight training, even in the short term. Improvement can be as high as 20% for maximal strength in interval training; approximately 30% for power increase and energy release in short sprints and up to 15% in training for repeated sprints. Creatine intake also results in improved concentration, higher endurance in training and faster recovery.
Using Creatine Monohydrate - Creatine is ideal for a broad range of sports people; from bodybuilders through to those who need explosive power in their chosen sport or those involved in speed sports. There are a broad variety of Creatines available on the market today and it is critical that you choose a research proven safe source.
What makes Creapure Creatine different from the competition? - Whilst there are many different forms of Creatine available on the market today, Creapure is the only Creatine in the world to be consistently tested free from impurities and by-products. Manufactured by AlzChem of Germany, Creapure Creatine is the only choice for those who want a research proven safe source of Creatine. This is especially important since other sources of Creatine potentially contain impurities and by-products including Creatinine (CRN), dicyandiamide (DCD), Dihydrotriazine (DHT) and Thiourea.
Reflex Guarantees
- Formulated to be the market leader
- Better value than the competition
- Made with 100% renewable energy and recyclable container
- Made in accordance with ISO9001 procedures and randomly drug tested in accordance with ISO17025
To be used as a dietary supplement to help increase strength, energy and endurance. Loading Phase: Take one measure (5g) and mix with 500ml of water, fruit juice or meal replacement 4 times a day at regular intervals for 5 days. Maintenance: Take one measure (5g) daily with 500ml of water, fruit juice or meal replacement.

Ask a Question
Which is the most effective brand of creatine. and weight gainer?
Choose a good micronised creatine. PhD Nutrition and Reflex are good.
Similarly PhD Pharma-gain and Reflex Instant Gain are great mass-gainers.
Just decide which tastes best.

I am using optimum nutrition whey mix twice a day,how long after taking the whey can i take the creapure i've just bought? Also do you have to take the creatine with 500ml of fluid or can you use less fluid? as the load up week means 2 ltrs of water a day, That seems a bit much to me?
Thanks
Dave
Hello Dave
You can take your creatine with your whey, thats not a problem. Dave you should be drinking about 2 ltrs of water every day anyway, as this is important to hydration and flush out the daily toxins accumilated in the body. The best way to take creatine monohydrate is with a 50:50 mix of Grape Juice and Grapefruit Juice. The Colgan Institute of Sports Medicine have been doing it that way successfully with their athletes for years and obtained great results.
You dont really need a load of juice or water to go with it, just as long as you get all the creatine down when u drink it (non left in the bottom of the glass)

Hi there, In othere questions you have said this should not be mixed in with whey shakes. What is the reason for this? and how long after a whey shake should you take creatine?
Thanks
Jamie
Hello Jamie
I am not sure who said it couldnt, because there is no reason why Creatine shouldnt be mixed in with Whey Shakes.
Ideally though, you would take creatine with a 50:50 mix of Grape Juice and Grapefruit Juice, the Grapefruit juice causes the stomach to release enzymes that buffer the stomach acids, creating an ideal enviroment for the Creatine to be absorbed into the bloodstream. The Colgan institute of sports medicine have done it that way for years on countless professional athletes and obtained fantastic results with simple Creatine Monohydrate.

Hi, does it matter wether you take creatine with white or dark grape juice? also during the loading phase if you are drinking it with grape/grapefruit juice, that is alot of sugar to be consuming in one day. what do you recommend in terms of drinking during the loading phase?
you could use a juice not to high in sugar or water during loading if you wanted.

Hi
I have been buying, and using reflex creapure creatine from monster supplements for a few years, and have always mixed it together with whey protein. It states on the label it can be mixed with MRPs. However, I am slightly concerned by the comments from your Andy Robinson stating the creatine shouldn't be mixed with protein. Theres a bit of a contradiction here, can you please clarify?
You can mix it with protein, but its not ideal, should rwally mix with carbohydrates.

it is ok to take after taking a protein supplement.
All the best Andy Robinson www.monstersupplements.com
For the loading phase you take 5gram 4 times a day at regular intervals for 5 days and maintenance you take 5 gram daily,on the tub said not to be used for more than 8 weeks at a time and also also a recommended break of 4 weeks is advised before using again..can i use it for more than 8 weeks without taking a month break....Thanks
best results are usually seen when you take for 8weeks and have 4weeks off.
All the best Andy Robinson www.monstersupplements.com
Do you suggest taking it with fruit juice for best results or is it just as good with just water.
both are good but you can use a fruit juice to help with the absorbtion of it.

I was reading through your questions and you have contradicted yourself about mixing whey with creating. One question you said it wasn't fine to mix them and you should never do that. The question after you said it was perfectly ok. In fact, mixing creatine with whey creates the best results.

Hi i am currently using usn creatine and have been looking at purchasing the reflex creapure. Is it ok to do a straight swap between the two and not repeat the loading phase? thanks

Hi in earlier questions asked you have stated that people should take 5 gramms of creatine before the gym, and then another 5 gramms after exercise, meaning a total of 10 gramms a day intake. However on the tub it clearly states that you should take 5 gramms a day, and NOT have more than this. So surely its unsafe to take double the recommended intake of creatine?
Hi Mike,
Thank you for the question. The daily recommended intake varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. Clinical studies have been performed with athletes using 20g with no negagative side effects. We have found the best results from 10gr on most people (who are trainin regular) I would only use 5gr if you are concerned though as this will work fine.

Hi, been useing Reflex Creapure for some time now, i'm not really a believer in 'The Loading Phase' myself
after researching so much creatine info, I have always found that 5g a day works just as good for me from the start, and I get the same results,
as a result my tub lasts a fair bit longer,
I have just taken a month off my creatine, and its time to start taking it again, so I open my reflex creapure after the 4 weeks break to find the powder is now solid like a block of sugar,
its not out of date (has over a year left on it)
and if stirred around and crushed a little it does go back to a powder, it has never done this before nor have I heard of it turning to a block before? is this normal?
has damp somehow got inside the container?, is it still ok to use it once broken back down to powder?
cheers guys and girls
Yes it is a common occurence, the damp makes the powder stick together but it is fine to use.

After the loading phase can i take 5 grams before workout and another 5 grams after workout mixed with optimum whey and also how many litres of water i need if i mixed it with optimum whey protein? Should i stick with 200 - 250 ml of water or ishould i take more - I am confused
Hi Wan,
Thank you for your question; Yes you can take 5gr before and 5 after. I would still use arround 250ml of water wit your shake. Consume at least 2litres of water throughout the day. hope this helps?

Hi, i was just wondering if it would still be safe to take over the recommended 5g a day for the maintainance phase e.g. 10-15g per day or do you think this would be too much - does it depend on body size as to how much is safe? thank you.
Hi David,
Thank you for the question; I would take 5gr early in the day and 5gr post workout. Do this for 8 weeks with 4 weeks off then repeat for best results.

Hi i have just bought this product but i have already being taking creatine from my local gym should i wait a bit before starting the Loading Phase or start it straight away thanks josh
Hi Grant,
Thank you for your question. You can take Creatine for 8-12 weeks but you should take 2-4 weeks off to flush out.

Hi there i am currently using this product & am mixing it with 200ml of grape juice & 200ml of grapefruit juice, then 15-20 mins later i am havin my protein drink 2 scoops of relfex instant mass. I was unsure if i should stil have a powerade to get my simple carbs post work out of do you think the 400ml of juice will have enough simple sugars in to replenish the simple carbs. The 400ml combination of the 2 juices has 26.4 grams of simple sugars.
Thanks
Hi Jon,
Thank you for your questions. I thoink the Grape juice will be enough fr the simple carb / insulin spike effect.

I'm a youth rugby player (16) and am looking to go on creatine for couple of months, would this be of any benefit to me or should I stick with my current training programme? Also, how long would one tub of the creapure 500g last for? And, is it safe for me to take?
Hi Dan,
Thank you for your question; I would definately use the Reflex Creapure with your Rugby training. Your strength will increase if you take protein along with it. (Or you can eat more protein)

Hi there
i am 17 and play rugby and i currently take express whey (boditronics) pre workout and then take boditronics profusion after workout (both are great products), however, i only take profusion on workout days (4-5 days a week) but it has 5g of creatine all ready in it and i am thinking about getting some creapure.
so on the maintance phase shall i take 5g of creapure with my ore workout shake and then none after workout as it already has 5g of creatine in it.
and on non workout days shall i take 10g of creapure???
thanks, james
Hi James,
Thank you for your e-mail; Yes we advise using just 5 grams of Creapure creatine on non-trainng days.

I understand the principal of having creatine with grapejuice as mentioned . Is it possible to mix with lucozade ? if so, any problems in doing this? many thanks
Hi Jazz,
Thank you for your question; I actually recommend using Creatine monohydrate with Lucazade as it's a perfect transport sytem to the muscle micondria. No problem doing that.

Hi
After you have finished a cycle and break are you supposed to resume the dosage with another loading phase or just continue with 5g a day etc?
Thanks
Hi,
Yes we advise 4 weeks off then back onto the loading phase.

Hi, I have a question about the amount. ON bodybuilding.com there is a creatine amount calculator, and that produces an amount based on your weight. For me this was 30g loading and 15g maint. I tried reflex creapure before with their recomendations and did not notice any effects. Will these new amounts be ok. I am just into my 40s, training regularly apart from weekends. Also can I take sida cordifolia with mono?
Hi Greg
Would not worry to much about that. You should have 10grams only on training days.5grams before training and 5grams after
Kind regards
Danny
Hi,
I am currently working a full program with intense weights 3-4 times a week, and increasing cardio 3-4 a week. I currently used Reflex Protein, Cyclone and Thermobodol. I am looking to speed up results slightly. I was thinking of quiting Cyclone and using a Creatine & Tribulus instead. Do you recommend for bigger lean gains? Also which brand combinations? Thanks
Hi
Your doing ok but i would keep on the cyclone and just bring in a tribulus.
Kind regards
Danny

Hi...i have used this prodcut in conjunction with instant whey protein...this seems to be ok....but i have started to think about using MM cyclone or NO Explode to really push it...these cost a hell of alot more. is it worth changing???are there supplements i am missing...p.s my diet(protien etc) is clean but results seem to be slow...cheers
Hi Jazz
I would go for phd synergy and bsn no-xplode.

Hello, I am a footballer also training on weights 3 times a week, Now I am thinking after loading phase to use creatine 5g before workout, instant whey post workout then casein protein before I sleep will this be ideal?

Hi There,
Post Workout, I want to try taking Protein and Creatine separately, so Should I first take creatine with 500ml water/fruit juice and then Whey protein (1 Scoop), or the other way round. Cheers K

Hi iv been training for a while an have tried a few supplements just baught cnp pro peptide an some reflex creatine can u tell me the best way 2 take the supplements? do i have 2 load with the creatine? thanks rich
Hi Rich
Take 1 serving of pro-peptide in a morning. Then take 5 grans of creating 30mins before training with a carb drink of some sort. Then after training take another pro-peptide with 5 grams of creating in your shake.
Kind regards
danny
Can i take 5gram 30 mins before my workout and 5 grams straight after workout mixed with Reflex Instant Whey protein shakes? Thanks
Hi Wan
Yes this is great way to use this supplement.
Kind regards
Danny
Hi, is this the best creatine at the moment or would you reccommend another one? Thanks
Hi Carl
I would go for the phd micro creatine.

Will taking creatine help lose body fat? Can i mix Reflex creapure with any brand Whey protien. I want to build lean muscle but still be light enough to run well will creatine help?
Hi Paul
Yes creatine will help with your training. But it will not help with losing fat. You should be on a high protein, low carb diet for that.
Kind regards
Danny
DURING THE MANTINECE PERIOD WHAT TIME DURING THE DAY IS IT BEST TO TAKE UR 5GRAMS AND ALSO ISIT GOOD TO TAKE THIS PRODUCT WITH PHD SYNERGY
Hi Joubin

Was just wondering if this creatine is micronised or not? & is it a safe product to use for a 16 year old? Thanks.
Hi Joe
No its not micronised. But the phd creatine is. Yes you should be fine.
Kind regards
Danny
During the maintinence phase on training days what is the best time to take this product? and on non training days what time isit best to take this product?
Hi Joubin
I would go with one serving before and after training.
Kind regards
Danny
Hi. I know creatine puts weight on. Will it put on fat or PURE muscle? Will it put fat on the face and stomach?
Hi Mj
It wont put fat on but it will make you retain a bit of water. But it will help with your training.
Kind regards
Danny
Hi,
i have reently bought this product and i am finished with the loading phase. For the maintenace day is it ok if i take 10g of creatine a day, 5g before and 5g after. Also i do workout about 1 hour a day with weights for about 5,6 times a week
thanks
richard
Hi Richard
Yes thats fine. I would take it with a carb dring to help with delivery into your blood.
Kind regards
Danny
I've been recommended this creatine by a training partner but then I noticed you said this creatine isn't micronised and the PhD one is. What are the benefits of a micronised creatine? and would i be better with this or the PhD one?
Hi Dave
It gets delivered into the blood faster. I would go for the phd creatine.
Kind regards
Danny
Do i have to take 4 servings a day of creapure creatine or is it ok to just take 10 g a day? Also should i only be taking this on days when i am doing physical activities?
Hi Anonymous
I would do 5 grams before traing and 5 grams after training.
Kind regards
Danny
Hi,
i currently take reflex creapsure 5g before a workout and 5g after so 10g overall. How long should i take it and how long should i go off it etc??
thanks
Hi Richard
I would do 4 weeks on and 4 weeks off.
Kind regards
Danny
Hello
I note it's good to take 5g creatine before workout and then 5g after workout, with fruit juice or lucozade to aid uptake into body.
But at what time do you suggest these be had, i.e. if doing 1 hour weight session, normally I have carb/protein meal 2 hours approx before workout, with snack 1 hour before. Then I have bananas and a whey protein shake within 30 mins of session ending. So how would it be best to build creatine into this? Thanks G
Hi Guy
Yes have 5 grams 1 hour before training and another after trainin.
Would high juice (cordial squash high in sugar) be suitable to mix this product with? I was thinking 100ml high juice, 400ml of water and 5g of creatine? I think this would give me about 30g of carbs with the 5g of creatine. Many thanks.
Hi Bobby
Yes that will work.
Hi, I am currently taking Reflex Instant Whey and Reflex Tri-matrix. I am nearing the end of the Tri-matrix and would like to know whether it would be advisable to have a few weeks off the creatine before taking Creapure. I ask this because with the tri-matrix you only take it on training days so would there be less creatine in my body to start with which would therefore not require me to take a break to flush it out.
Thanks
Whats the best thing to mix my creatine with? I've tried with water and couldn't stomach the taste but i don't drink fruit juice so i'm really confused. The only thing i can think of is putting it in my protein shake but don't think you reccomend this.
Hi Bryan
You can mix it in with your protein or you can buy some phd battery to mix it with.
Kind regards
Danny
Is a loading phase necessary and how much water do you need to drink when taking creatine?
Hi Pat
You can just do 5 grams before training and 5 grams after training. I would mix it with half a pint of water.
Kind regards
Danny
I'm taking 5g pre and post workout and just wondered how much, if any, i should be taking on my 3 rest days?
Hi Joe
I would take 5 grams before training, 5 grams after training and non on your rest days.
Kind regards
Danny
How much creatine is 5g? Is it a tea spoon, table spoon etc? and do you mean flat or rounded spoonful? Sorry to be so fussy.
Hi Sef
Yes 5 grams is 1 rounded tea spoon.
Is it ok to mix this with high juice cordial and water to get some fast carbs with the creatine?
Hi Steven
Yes that willl work.
How much water does 5g need to be mixed with because i've been told 250ml, 500ml and a pint? And is 5g one tea spoonful or not?
Hi Lewis
Yes its 1 tea spoon. I would go for about 350ml's.
Kind regards
Danny
I've heard you need to drink water when on creatine. How much water should i be drinkin a day normally and how much when on creatine?
HI Jack
You fine with 8 pints per day.
Hi, I'm using Reflex Creapure Creatine and have seen from other answers that it's recommended to take a fruit juice mix(grape/grapefruit) for the carbs to carry the creatine into the muscle. I was wondering if eating a piece of fruit instead (a whole banana) would be ok. Thanks Adam
Hi Adam
It would help but its not as good as juice.
Hi there, i am really stuggling and couldn't thank you enought if you could help.
i am thinking about taking my creatine, protein, glutamine and glucose powder all in the same shake after my workout. is this really a good idea :S

also, in the morning should i mix creatine with my protein ?
please help! :)
ash
Hi Ash
Yes that will be fine. Have 1 45 mins before you train and another after training.
Kind regards

Whats the best way to mix creatine into juice. Stir it in with a fork or spoon or shake it in a shaker?

i was just wondering about the loading phase as the maximuscle stuff i have been taking has creatine in it already. so when i switch do i need to do the loading phase for just take it once a day??
Hi Tony

Kind regards
Danny

Hi Carl
If you stick to the recommended amount it should last about 6 weeks.

Danny
Hi,
how much creatine should i take??
at the moment i take 4 times 5g for the loading phase and then for the rest i take 5g prior to workout and 5g after so 10grams per day. i workout about 4-5 times a week

thanks
Hi Richard
I would
This may sound silly but i'm new to this and was wonderin wot u mean by loading time
Hi Jaz
For your first week you take a high dose. Then you take 10 grams per day for the rest of you cycle.
Kind regards
Danny
I have been takeing the product too much like 10g 5 times a day will this have bad results because i have been doing well at the gym gone up loads of weight .
Hi Guy
I would come off creatine for 4 weeks. Then start again.
Kind regards
Danny
Hi, thinking of taking the reflex creapure creatine, currently taking optimum nutrition whey and la muscle fat stripper,looking for extra gains and to loose a lil more weight, a few questions do u think the caps would be as effective as the powder, and are the loading stages important when starting, or couldnt the daily dosage be taken before and after workouts, and on rest days?
Hi Matt
The ON 100% whey is fine for. I would recommend taking 5 grams of creatine before and after training. Then the zma before bed.
Kind regards
Danny
So do u think i should ignore the loading phase?
Hi Matt
Yes I would. Take 5 grams before and after training.
Kind regards
Danny
Hey sorry to bother u again, wat woulkd u suggest for the rest days?...just 5g?
Hi Matt
No there is no need to take it on your rest days.
Kind regards
Danny
Hi, would this product be good to take with maximuscle viper?
yes this is great when taken with viper the high carbohydrates will allow the creatine to be absorbed better, thank you JB
Hi, can i take creapure after a work out if i am taking liquid fury be for?
Yes this will be fine to use them both, enjoy them they will work very well together JB
Hello, i started taking creapure creatine on monday, 5g before and after training with 500ml of water!! After reading previous questions I am unsure whether u reccomend a loading phase for maximum results? Also whether to take it on resting days? Cheers.
Ok with monohydrate is worth loading so take 20g for the first 4 days then 10g daily after the initial load, thank you i hope this helps. JB
Hi.
what way would you recommend to take this while also taking l-glutamine and whey protein.
mix the creatine and l-glutamine?
After training you can mix the creapure and glutamine in with a protein shake, i would also take a serving mid morning or afternoon with a shake too. Thanks JB
Is this ok to take along side BSN NO-xplode as they both contain creatine and both are required to be taken pre work out?
Hi i would use the Explode before and the creapure after for best results. thanks JB
Hi , do you need to do the loading phase.? what does the loading phase do.? can you just start by taking 5mg with water an hour before training , then 5mg after mixed with reflex portien shake.?
Hi 5g twice per day is fine, before and after training is ideal. Thanks JB
Is it alright to mix this with N.O. drinks which do not have creatine in them? like controlled labs white flood (although you don't stock this) thanks
yes that will be fine
best regards
Hi, what will happen if i take this for 3 months, then stop, and take only whey protein? will I lose MUSCLE or just water?
there is no reason why you should lose muscle you will lose 2-3 lbs of water dependingh on how much you tend to carry, this is normal so don't worry, thanks JB
Hi im using ON Gold whey 2-3 times a day with Reflex Growth Matrix on training days (3 times a week). Im looking to add more lean muscle and gain power,it is fine to add a cycle of creatine with this stack? I am also vegetarian so need something extra. Thanks
Yes is it fine to add creatine to the stack, check out Millennium Sport technologies Cre 02, this is a creat creatine product, thank you
Is it okay to take creatine with thermogenic fat burners?
Yes it is fine to do this, it will help you keep your perforamance up whilst dieting, thank you JB
Hey monster.
Just wanted to know if their is any side effects with creatine??? Im asking this because last year i tried No Explode(That had no effect on me) so i combined Wiered and Phd Synegy together and had the most awfal spot, blemish markings on my face. I would like to add more bulk to my frame but i need some advice please! Thank you.
Hi no there is nothing in the creapure that will cause you to get blemishes, this will help your performance for sure, thanks JB
Hi i wanted to ask if this product can increase my muscle mass quickly within 3 or 4 weeks?? thank you
Hi this will help you performance and you should add 1-2 lbs in 5-7 days, thanks JB
Hey team monster,
been using the phd methoxy for a few months, relatively impressed but unsure if i should use it along with creapure? i use instant whey and l-glutamine also. if i should only use one which one is best? all the best guys
Hi if you are looking to add a creatine then look at the millennium sport technologies Cre 02, this is one of the leading creatine products on the Market, thanks JB
Could i use this with no xplode and synergy or is it too much creatine at once? should i maybe swap it in for no xplode as its effect id steadily wearing off
Hi you could add creatine yes, another 5g a day would be fine, if the efectiveness of the NO Explode is waning then it is well worth a swap, try PhD wired or Millennium Sport ragnarok, these are both great pre workouts, thank you JB
What do you thnk works better creatine ethyl ester like in cell mass or this cratine.
kind regards James
personally ethyl ester works better than monohydrate but monohydrate is cheaper and more convenient.
ac
Does 1 level scoop that comes with this product contatin the 5mg dose required? Or should i be using more than 1 scoop?
Hi i would go for to 5g servings, one 45 mins before trainig and one immediately after, thanks JB
I just started using this together with phd synergy. i take 1 scoop of creapure creatine with 500ml of grapefruit juice before my 7am workout, 2 scoops of synergy after my workout and 2 scoops of synergy before bed.
Should i take another 5g of creatine somewhere in the day or is this enough. Im into my second week using synergy but only my first week with creapure creatine and not doing the loading phase because im on synergy.
hi i would just use two scoops per day, this will be fine
Ive been usingg synergy for 2 weeks now and creapure creatine for a week without the loading phase.
is it ok to take 2 synergy shakes per day aswell as 10grams of creapure creatine per day. I have been using 5grams per day and havnt put on a single pound of weight or is this too much creatine?
Hi this will be ok if you are around 80kg if you are less then just go for 5g of creapure, the synergy will definatley help you gain lean mass, thanks JB
When will this product be back in stock useing reflex instant whey morning then after workout when would be best time to use this product ?? what is the loading phase?
This should be back with us this week, i would use this both before and immediately after training, add this to some juice to speed up the creatines delivery to the muscles, thanks
Does Reflex Creapure Creatine contain any sort of testosterone? As I am quite worried that creatine may cause acne. Is this true?
No this is not true do not worry, thanks
Hey Guys, firstly love your site, the quality of service you provide is excellent. Secondly, at the moment I'm taking PHD Pharma Whey before and after a workout, can I mix the Creapure Creatine in with this or is it better to take it seperately in another shaker with grape juice? Also, after the 5 day loading phase of taking 5g 4 times a day, is it ok to take 5 grams before training and then 5 grams after training instead of only 5 grams a day?
Thank you, you were spot on the first time run a load with 5g X 4 times a day for 5 days then use 5g before and 5g after training 5g on non training days is fine, these can be mixed into the protein for sure, enjoy the stack. thanks
Hi
is this creatine good if i do alot of cardio along with weight training
thanks
Hi Scott yes the creatine will really help you with your endurance, thanks
Hi ive been on the phd synergy and pharma gain for around 2 months and have seen some good gains. but i think it is time for me to move off these and i was thinking what is the best protein to use with this?
which is more value for money the capsules or powder version of reflex?
Hi Jack i personally love the phd pharma whey and USN igf 1, i would go for one of these and use the creatine powder with this, great value. Thanks
Hey i usually have creatine instant and take 21 grams loading and 15 grams maitanence for 4 weeks and 2 weeks off
why do you advise 5 grams for Reflex Creapure Creatine
Hi Ben, 21g of creatine is alot- 5g is the usual maintenance dosage, if you have used creatine like you have before and are experienced then you will be fine with 10g of creapure or even 15g
Hi I am wondering if this is ok to be mixed with reflex instant whey protein. Also why do you keep emphasising in the question to drink 2-3 litres of water a day
yes this is fine to use with the whey- creatine does dehydrate you so additional water intake is required.
Alrite lads im currently training for the marines which involves a lot of running, press ups, pull ups and sit ups, so no real weights involved apart from using your own body weight. Basically im looking for something that will maintain my current body weight but increase strength and endurance would this work?
Hi Daz yes creatine will really help, make sure you drink alot of water when using this!
Hi, if im using this product more for endurance should i bother with the loading phase? cheers
Hi Daz yes the loading phase is needed to saturate the muscles, it will definately help
Hi,
Can you tell me what I should do if I miss my creatine intake for a couple of days? Should I carry on as normal or should I do another loading phase?
Thanks
Jim
Hi Jim i would just do carry on and not load again if you have only missed a few days, 10g per day of this is a good dosage.
Hi, I am taking Phd lean degree, Superpump250 and Gaspari myofusion at the moment is it ok if i use this along side with the current products i am taking Thanks
Hi Scott this is a good stack you have, yes i would use at least 5g of creapure per day if you are a larger individual with plenty of muscle mass then shoot for 10g a day.
Is it really necessary to cycle this product, it only suggest 5g per day and many all in one products dont require cycling on and off yet contain even more creatine
Hi you can use this continuously if you chose to 5g will not harm you we just suggest cycling ever now and then as the body becomes used to it after a period of time, thanks
Would it be ok to use this product along side animal m-stack ?
Hi Aaron this will stack very well with M stak, make sure that you have a quality protein on hand also. Thanks
Once i have completed the stated 8 week usage period, will i keep the increased size gained using this(hopefully)when i revert back to Whey Protein shake only. Would i better to then take a shake that also includes creatine or take the 4 week break. Thanks
Hi just use a whey protein or a creatine free shake, add some hmb and glutaomeine thay will really help you continue to improve recovery and your gains, thanks
Hi guys, great website. Couple of questions….I currently use reflex whey and I am now using this. once I have finished the 8 week cycle should I then use a combined whey/creatine based powder (Reflex one stop/Cyclone) or just use the reflex whey? Will I loose the gain I hope to make is this period? Also, is there a reason you suggest mixing it with grapefruit and grape juice or can any fruit juice be used?
You can and should use protein all year round for extra lean mass then use an all in one around training times, one stop or phd synergy in particular are my favourites
What would be a comparable creatine monohydrate that i could compare this one to? cheers
the phd micronized creatine monohydrate is of similar quality and price. -AC-
Hi, when will this item be back in stock? I only have a few days worth left in my old tub.
this is due back in with us any day now. it iwll be early next week at the latest. i would recommend using a different monohydrate if we fail to get it in. i would recommend phd creatine or CNP pro creatine. -AC-
Can i take this creatine with maximuscle cyclone?
yes but try not to intake more than 10g a day as that is unneccesary. -AC-
Hi i was wondering which loading technique you recomend.Reflex and Phd suggest differant methods. cheers.
10g per day for first week then 5g per day after taht. -AC-
Why is that the say creatine and most other products for that matter are bad or unhealthy for people under the age of 18 . i am 16 and i have been using protien for a year now and i am buying cell mass soon for a bit more rapid gains
creatine is not unhealthy for someone of your age. protein especially is not. protein is a vital nutrient and if you are trianing you must intake enough protein, whether that be through food or supplementation. -AC-
At the moment i use Phd Pharma Gain and Reflex BCAA.Want to know when is a good time to take Phd Pharma Gain? 30 mins. before training or after?and i was thinking to order Reflex Creatine,i can mix with Phd Pharmar Gain and drink it at the same time right? Thank you.
yes that is the perfect times to take pharma gain. i personally would take it 60 mins before so that it is not heavy on the stomach during training. yes add 5g creapure to each shake before and after trianing. aim for 10g creatine daily. -AC-
When taking this product would it help if i took some sort of whey protein with ?
it is pointless taking creatine if your protein intake is not high enough. protein and carbohydrates are what induce muscle growth not creatine. creatine allows you to train harder and volumises muscle cells with water but does not directly induce growth. you need the fuel (protein and carbs) to actually grow. aim for 250g protein per day minimum. this is very difficult from food alone so a shake is needed. i recommend either phd pharma whey or optimum nutrition gold standard whey for protein. -AC-
I have started taking Gaspari Size On and i am nearly finished my 1st tub of it, can i add some of this Creapure Creatine to my daily intake to increase my creatine intake. I take size on during training so could i add a scoop of creapure to my post workout shake
you can safely take creapure creatine as well as size on but it is unneccessary as size on contains enough creatine to maximally optimise the benefits of creatine. -AC-
Hi,
I'm struggling to mix this, it's taking absolutely ages and theres still quite a bit in the bottom. Can I just mix this with less water and down the whole thing partially unmixed? I get around 2 liters of water a day any way.
Thanks
if you are struggling to mix the creapure then yes you can do that. i recommend trying it in a shaker with some fruit juice. a few hard shakes always did the job for me. -AC-
I want to loose around 8-9kgs of fat, i'm on a high protein diet, i'm doing resistance training but involves high reps around 15-20. I wanted to know, that if i include creapure, will it aide me in fatloss, i don't mind water retention as long as i can shed fat.
creatine does not affect fat loss. it may help you to train at higher intensities but primarily does not affect fat loss. i would recommend a thermogenic fat burner like phd lean degree or nutrex lipo 6X. -AC-
Jus asking if im only doin intense cardio on a non-training day, can i still take creatine to boost endurance?
creatine will delay the onset of lactic acid but when doing cardio you use primarily the aerobic energy system so creatine does not play a large part. -AC-
Is this product good/effective for increasing size n mass to muscles?if not,any recommandations?
creatine doesnt actually increase muscle size primarily but gives the effect by saturating the muscle cells. it will allow you to train harder with larger weights which will in turn lead to muscle growth. the only thing that builds muscles is protein, carbs, essential fats and consistency of diet and training. -AC-
Hi i have just finished my tub of phd synergy. shall i wait a month to start taking creatine again?
no you are fine to start taking creatine now. -AC-
Hi again, sorry but I was going to ask you about the loading dose. When taking the loading dose do you have to work out for those first 5 days?
no but working out is advised if you want to build muscle. -AC-
Do i have to take this by itself or can i mix it with reflex micro whey? what time of day is best to do the loading phase, and when to take after loadin phase
you can take it with water, fruit juice or with your shakes. take 5g per day at any time that suits it does not make a difference. -AC-
What is the difference between Reflex creapure creatine and Reflex creatine uptake system?
the uptake system is basically just sugars added to the creatine to help deliver it into the muscle faster. take the creapure with phd battery or an isotonic drink to get the same effect. -AC-
Hi guys, was thinking of getting this product and was wanting to use fat burners aswell would the creatine hinder the fat burners from working ?
no the creatine would not affect the fat burners in any way. this will be fine to stack. -AC-
After the loading stage how many times a day should i take it, is 2 times ok? one midmorning and one after workouts? cheers
loading is not necessary. simply take 5g creatine per day. this can be taken at any time. -AC-
Do i have to do the loading phase? is there any difference? if not how many times a day would you recommend taking it,once or twice? many thanks
no loading phase is necessary. take 5g per day. -AC-
Can i take this 2 weeks on 2 weeks off. Also if i can do i need to load up for 5 days each time? Can i stack this with BSN Nitrix and a protein shake? Thanks LeeP.
take for 8 weeks then have a 2 week break. it is pointless taking 2 weeks on 2 weeks off. loading is unneccessary. yes that would be a good stack. -AC-
Hello. I am just starting the loading phase and was wondering could i mix 4 bottles of 500ml water with 5g of creatine in the morning and drink regualry throughout the day? or do i have to mix them and drink within a certain time? This would save taking the tub everywehere.
Cheers Robbie
the loading phase is not necessary. 5g per day for 8 weeks will be fine. -AC-
I was wondering, after i take the loading phase, 4 servings per day for 5 days , would it be be ok to take 5 grams pre workout and 5 post workout for maintenance or would this be overkill?? I weigh 72kg if thats relavent ?
you dont need to load and if you do load then 3g per day is enough. 5g per day from the start without a loading phase is more then enough for your bodyweight. -AC-
If i would skip the loading dose, could i take 5g before and 5g after workouts? would that be ok? thanks
only 5g is needed. take whenever is convenient. -AC-
Hi,please help me! i have been using creatine for about a month.... im just wondering what will hapen to me if i stop using it?
nothing will happen to you. -AC-
What part of the day would be best to take this product, bearing in mind i train from around 4-6?
it doesnt really matter. whenever is most convenient for you. -AC-
Hi,
After the loading phase how often and when should i take creatine? Pre workout or post workout?
Thanks
no need to load. take 5g per day at any time that is convenient. -AC-
Hi i currently take reflex instant whey and reflex growth matrix. would you recommend using reflex creapure instead of growth matrix for bulking?
no. growth matrix is protein. creatine does not affect muscle mass. nutrients like proteins and carbs do affect mass. add creatine by all means but dont replace protein with creatine. -AC-
Im looking to bulk up a lot. Would taking this and phd synergy be the best way to supplement this? Or would there be a better product, or product combination to help bulk up. cheers.
use the creapure alongside a heavy weight gainer like applied nutrition critical mass or USN muscle fuel mass to bulk up quickly.-Ac-
Is it ok to take this product on its own or is it more effective to take it alongside another product such as a whey protein ?
creatine will not be affected by other products. you will not increase muscle mass without sufficient protein intake. -AC-
Hi, been weight training for several months now, im a hardgainer and quite slim frame, ive previously used weight gain and wehey protein, managed to get stronger and slight increase in mass but id like to thicken out and look bulkier, would you recomend creatine? also which would be better, this or PHD micronised creatine?
cheers
no. creatine improves strength but will not affect muscle size. eat more and train heavy. a weight gainer would help you far more than creatine will. -AC-
Thanks for the asnwer to the last question, just wondering about my training schedule im an extreme hardgainer, but quite strong for my slim build and i want to thicken out. im currently doin a four day split, chest and tri day, back and bicep day, shoulder day and leg day. 3 sets of 8 reps on excercises.. is there a better way for a hardgainer? thanks a lot
as far as trianing goes it doesnt really matter too much about your split. all you have to do is eat more. if you arent putting on weight, keep increasing your food and protein intake until you are gaining weight. -AC-
When is the best time to take creatine before or after workout? i always do after, is this correct? thanks
it doesnt make a difference. -AC-
Hi i was wondering whats the best way of taking this supplement with my protien shake to get the best reuslts?
Thanks
take 5g per day every day at a time that best suits you. -AC-
Can i mix reflex Creapure Creatine and reflex Instant Whey in the same shaker?
yes that will be absolutely fine. -AC-
I have recently ordered and started taking this product again but i have also been feeling fairly bloated and heard creatine can cause this??? Is that true or should i continue to use it? It seems to have ruined all my definition!!!!
creatine can cause bloating but it shouldnt have affected your definitiion. creatine can increase water retention but not to that kind of degree. -Ac-
Hey, i'v got a few questions regarding creatine in genral. Im assuming you have to cycle it to maintian it's effectivness, but whats the best way to cycle it? (i.e 1 month on 1 month of?) and after your off cycle is it nessesary to do another "loading dose" or do you just carry on with the 5g p/d as usuall? Thanks.
it is unknown what is the best way to cycle creatine. i would say 8 weeks on 4 weeks off. loading is not necessary. 5g per day is fine. -AC-
Hia recently bought this product , just to clarify,, is one serving ( 5g ) just one scoop? cheers
correct. -AC-
I just order Reflex Creapure Creatine - 500g.
Can you tell me is it really guaranteed the purest creatine on market? is there something better?
Thank you.
as far as monohydrate goes it is great quality. im not sure it is the purest on the market but it will work jsut as well as any other creatine monohydrate. -AC-
Hi, when will this be back in stock?
and...is the new sci-mx creatine just as good or better?cos its 200 servings per tub isnt it?
it is in stock now. -AC-
Hi i am just wondering if the product works in case you dont do the loading phase as i always like to take limited supplements
the loading phase is not neccessary. -AC-
Hi, I would like to start using Reflex Creatine but have previously tried a Holland and Barratt creatine which contain Sulphites that I'm alergic too. Does the Reflex creatine contain sulphites?
i dont believe so. i recommend e-mailing reflex to be certian. -Ac-
Just wondering when to take the creatine.
Ihave bought this product and am also using a 100% whey protein. Should i take the creatine straight after the gym and then take the protein shake a few minutes after?
Do i need to drink loads of water after taking the creatine or is it throughout the day?
Please help,
Thanks
take 5g post-training. make sure you are well hydrated right through the day. -AC-
Would you recomend using this product with PHD synergy? or switch the source of protein you use?
it is not needed with the synergy. take it alongside pharma gain for good results. -AC-
Hi, i have recently bought this and found that it doesnt mix that well, can i mix it with hot water and let it chill? this would be done in the evening as i train at 6 in the morning. will this affect the effectiveness of the product?
you can do that but i would recommend jsut mixing in with fruit juice before you train. -AC-
Hey, just ordered my secound tub of this. Wondering whether or not the load up phase of 4 scoops a day is necessary? As ive heard that its not all that beneficial? Also would this be ok if mixed in with some natural yoghurt + chopped banana as a pre-workout snack? Cheers
loading is not necessary in my opinion. you could use that as a pre-workout meal. you need some protein in there though. -AC-
Im currently stacking this with cnp pro mass , been using it for around a month now maybe more , i did the loading phase , i have increased my intake to 15g per day to see if results come , any reccomendations ?
that is completely pointless. your body only needs 5g per day. you are having too much for no reason whatsoever. if you arent seeing the results you want then either your trianing is poor or your expectations of results are misguided. -AC-
Should i been drinking lots of water when using this product.
yes increased water intake is advised whilst taking creatine. -AC-
Do i have to take this on an empty stomache ?
no it wont make a difference. -AC-
After stopping taking creatine what are the effects? Tiredness? what else? Does creatine make your penis smaller?
you will not notice anything when you stop taking it. some intramuscular water retention may reduce but that is it. no it does not make your penis smaller. that is biologically impossible. there is creatine in steak and your body natually produces creatine so there is no way it can affect the size of your penis. -AC-
Hi, is it necessary to cycle the usage of this product on and off if I stick to the recommended 5g per day dosage after the initial loading phase? Would you recommend this or not? Thanks in advance!
take 5g per day every day for 8 weeks and then have 4 weeks off. -AC-
