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. Regards Monster supplements

Is it true that you only need 5g of the product per serving? That seems v low compared to other brands I've tried! Thank you Jeff

its fine to take 5g, all the best Andy Robinson ANB U18's Mr Britain 2003 www.monstersupplements.com

Is mixing this with my optimum nutrition protein shake ok?

you can use both but i would not use them in the same drink, all the best Andy Robinson www.monstersupplements.com

Hi, i've already got reflex intsant whey and am interested in creatine. Just wondering if this product could be mixed in with whey or should it be taken seperately?

you should not mix them in the same drink, all the best Andy Robinson www.monstersupplements.com

Is it recommended to go to the gym during the loading dose?

you should go to the gym during the loading dose yes. All the best Andy Robinson www.monstersupplements.com

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) Yours in Health Monster Supplements

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. Yours in Health Shaun

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. Yours in Health

Hi,is it ok to split the daily dose i.e 2.5g before training and 2.5g after?

That is fine, the daily dose is whats important. Yours in health Andy@monstersupplements.com

When will this item be back in stock?

It's in! Yours in Health Andy@monstersupplements.com

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. All the best Andy Robinson www.monstersupplements.com

I am confused in one of your answers to a question you say you can mix it with a whey protien and in another you say you can not which is correct?

if you want to mix it in you can, i use them separetly myself. All the best Andy Robinson www.monstersupplements.com

Hey, what does this taste like? good or bad? does prolab creatine taste any different?

they dont really have a taste you can mix them with fruit juices to give it a taste. All the best Andy Robinson www.monstersupplements.com

After the loading phase how much should i use for a day and how many times

after loading 5grams per day is enough for the average person. All the best Andy Robinson www.monstersupplements.com

After the loading dose how many serving should i take in one day?should i take 5 gram b4 workout and another 5 gram after workout?

after loading 5grams before work out would be fine and 5g on nontraining days. All the best Andy Robinson www.monstersupplements.com

At any day is tha ok if i have optimum whey 30 minutes before i take reflex creapure creatine or should i take them at the same time...i don't want to make a mistake thats why i am asking... Thank

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. All the best andy Robinson www.monstersupplements.com

At 4 weeks off should i start from the loading phase again or take 5 gram only daily ... Give me some advice please

After 4 weeks off. start load again. Best regards sam www.monstersupplements.com

Im wanting to tone up but not pile on muscle is this product best for me what do you recommend

creatine will help improve you strength and endurance this will go well with a protein supplement. All the best Andy Robinson www.monstersupplements.com

Hi, you stated in one of your answers that you wouldn't mix creatine with your whey protein. Is there any reason for this?

Hi Darryl Thanks for question. You can mix it or you don't have to. Just better to drink them as recommended. Hope this help. Kind Regards Jp

Should all the tub be taken in one course or should there be a month on month off? etc

Hi Graig Thanks for your question. Will recommend you to use it one month and opne month off. Remember to increase your water intake. Kind Regards JP

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. Regards, Daniel.

Thanks for your comments Daniel, I think often advisors opinions differ on subjects. Sorry for any confusion. Yours in Health Laura@monster

Im finking of buying this product, when i finish the loading phrase, when is the best time to take the daily dose...morning?...pre-workout?...post-workout? and is it alright to take protein shake along with this at the same tym

Hi Giuseppe, Take the Reflex Creapure as follows to maintain: 5gr 1 hour before your workour and straight after (5gr mixed into a protein shake) I hope this helps? Yours in Health Mark http://www.monstersupplements.com

Hi i am 16 and im thinking of buying the creatine what recomendations do you have and do you think it is suitible?....many thanx marc

Hi Marc, Thank you for your question; we would recomend you taking the Reflex Creapure or the PhD Micronised creatine. Start by taking 5gr mixed with a protein drink in the moring and another straight after your workout. Remeber to drink lots of water (2-3 litres) Hope this helps? Best Regards Mark Bowering Ex Junior Mr Universe http://www.monstersupplements.com

Is it ok if i use it with 'PhD Nutrition Pharma Whey'

Hi Giuseppe, They Reflex Creapure and the PhD Pharma Whey will work fantastic together (like petrol ans oil in a car) Remeber to increase your water intake whilst using them. Best Regards Mark Bowering Ex Junior Mr Universe http://www.monstersupplements.com

Can i just take it before eveytime that i go into the gym and at no other tyms? sorry if this seems stupid but it will be the first tym that i wil have used this and need to know if i can just take it before working.

Hi Loz, The Refelx Creapure should be taken 1 hour before your workout and also straight after with a good whey protein drink. I recommend you taking the pre-workout creatine with a fruity drink id possible. Best Regards Mark Bowering Ex Jr Mr Universe http://www.monstersupplements.com

I've read somewhere that in some cases taking creatine may cause impotence and lower the testosterone level. Does anybody know anything about it? M

Hi Martin, Thank you for your question; we recommend creatine as it's a nutural substance found in nearly all our living muscle cells! I / we have never heard of any one worldwide having problems with impotence and a lowered testosterone level? Maybe Prohormones only. Yours in Muscle, Mark Bowering Ex Jr Mr Universe www.monstersupplements.com

Is this product the right thing for a rugby player who wants to gain strenght and is 14

Hi Oliver, Thank you for your question; I think you're too young to use creatine just yet! stick to a good protein powder and naural weight gainer untill you reach 16. Yours in Muscle Mark Bowering Ex Jr Mr Universe www.monstersupplements.com

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 James, Thank you for your e-mail; You're correct James you can just swap them arround. Yours in Health Team Monster!

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. Best Regards Team Monster http://www.monstersupplements.com

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. Yours in Health Simon@monstersupplements.com

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? Best Regards Mark Bowering Team Monster www.monstersupplements.com

Hi, during the loading phase, it is said that 5g a day 4-5 times a day is reccomended. How many servings should i have before the work out and how many after (obviously at intervals). I was thinking of 3 before and 2 after?

Hi Kush, Thank you for the question; 3 before and 2 after your workout will be fantastic; make sure you drink plenty of water. Best Regards Mark Team Monster www.monstersupplements.com

Hi There I just recently bought This Reflex Creatine (thanks for v.quick delivery), i would like some advice on usage. i have taken Creatine in the past, but would like to take this in a more gradual way i.e 5g before and 5g after training with no loading faze. but would like to know how long should i take it this way, and how long to cycle off?. Thanks for your help.

Hi Burdy, Thank you for the purchase and your question; I would just use 5gr pre-workout and 5gr post workout. Do this for 8 weeks on 4 weeks off. Yours in Health Simon Team Monster www.monstersupplements.com

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. Best Regards Team Monster

I'm a pro footballer and am subject to random drug tests. Is this product safe to take?

Hi Tom, Sure this is 100% IOC approved for drug test. Regards Team Monster

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. Best Regards Team Monster http://www.monstersupplements.com

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. Best Regards Mark Bowering Ex Jr Mr Universe www.monstersupplements.

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) Best Regards Mark Bowering www.monstersupplements.com

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. Your in Health Mark Bowering www.monstersupplements.com

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. Best Regards Mark www.monstersupplements.com

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. Regards Team monster www.monstersupplements.com

Hi Thank you for your question. Sorry my mistake. Yes thats fine. Kind regards Danny

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
