Well Body Naturals Creatine Hydrochloride (HCL) Powder 5 Kilograms

This product is immaculate. The price for 1000g of creatine HCl is amazing. There is no need in writing pros and cons of creatine HCl because if you’re taking it you should already know why. I want to be able to buy this exact product again. Every other product is waaaaay more expensive for far less product. What happened?

I just switched from creatine monohydrate to HCl and I'm loving it. My previous monohydrate was also WellBodyNaturals and also 1kg. It served me well for months. I saw great size increases and felt way better. The problem I had with it is that no matter how much water I added, it just never seemed to dissolve completely, and sometimes I would have two liters for only one teaspoon.I figured I would give HCl a try since it dissolves way better despite the numerous complaints around the internet that it tastes TERRIBLE. I can confirm that when I first opened it, I thought there was no possible way I could drink it. It smelled awful and made me cough. It was so bad that I didn't even take a sip until after I got to the gym and ran to where I was so thirsty I had to drink something.Much to my surprise, I didn't taste a thing! My secret ingredient in my mix was lemon juice. I haven't tried it with just water, but the lemon juice completely nullified the taste and the only difference that I noticed was that there wasn't a bunch of it laying at the bottom undissolved. I find that I need less to perform just as hard if not harder and the taste is a non-issue in my lemon water mix.I expect this will last quite a bit longer than my previous bag of monohydrate so the ever so slight premium I paid up front will more than be absorbed, no pun intended, over the course of the next few months. If you're really worried about the taste, try a smaller purchase before diving into the large container, but I love the stuff and will probably be a convert for life.

This was my first attempt with a Creatine other than Monohydrate. I love Creatine Monohydrate but I seem to be one of the 10-20% of its users that experiences bloating, stomach discomfort/ irritation, and water rentension (I really don't think it's a myth, I look smoother and more puffy when taking Monohydrate even though my diet has the same calories and macros as before taking it). I decided to try this as an alternative to Monohydrate and I'm glad I did. So far I've kept the strength gains and improved recovery that I received from regular Monohydrate and have experienced none of the previously mentioned side effects. I looked and felt better a week after ditching Monohydrate and taking HCL.I really see no pitfalls of this compared to Monohydrate. Some brands sell HCL for way more than Monohydrate but this brand sells 1K grams for a pretty comparable price to what you'd get for 1K grams of Monohydrate so there's no drawback what's so ever.Some reviewers here have complained of the taste but in all honesty after the first day I didn't find it bad at all. Maybe just slightly sour but it's pretty minimal and if you put it in your protein shake you can barely taste anything, especially if your protein is chocolate. Some of these reviewers are making the taste out to be a near death experience but in my opinion they need to relax. Just give it some time. You'll find that it's not a deal breaker.To sum it up, I'm impressed with this product and will be buying more. If you're someone who suffers from any kind of negative side effects of Monohydrate Creatine give HCL and this brand a shot. I think you'll be happy with your purchase.

I decided to buy this along with a Monohydrate to see which is superior.Pros:-Very effective-No bloating-Very soluble-Dirt cheap-Smaller serving amount than MonohydrateCons:_-Taste with waterOverall this product is great, it works and it's pretty cheap. My only complaint is how it tastes with water. Pretty much makes it undrinkable and makes my tongue feel all weird. But, that shouldn't cause you to turn away just yet. What I recommend is to drink it with a sports drink or juice, as these work better anyway. Drinking the Creatine with these drinks not only makes the HCL taste a lot better, it actually helps your body absorb the Creatine quicker than water. Especially with juice as it creates an Insulin spike which helps with absorption.I would definitely recommend this product, just watch out for the taste with water.

Switched to this one (HCL) from creativemonohydrate as I was getting too much stomach discomfort. First couple of daysI started having some discomfort but went away, now so far so good, no blotting or any other problems. Seems to be working, noticed some changes in my body already.Wish they would use a container instead of a bag to packet the product. Kind of annoyingto open bag and scoop it out.Also it did come with a scoop

It has been over a year of trying this supplement. I must say I am very satisfied. Not only has my strength and muscular development increased, my body fat dropped as well. I mix 1/4 a teaspoon with water. I found, however, mixing it with a large 16 oz glass of water is the most significant approach to taking this creatine. This isn't based off my preference for taste but because this is the amount needed for creatine to be efficiently absorbed. Although Hcl is more water soluble than monohydrate, the volume of water doesn't change. I found that mixing a full two cups left my body feeling well hydrated, without having to makeup for the rest of the day.
