Yep, you get exactly what's on the outside of the package. This stuff has no flavor and can be swallowed with any liquid you prefer, from coffee to Coke to fruit juice (I down mine with lemonade). It almost completely dissolves and leaves very little grittiness behind, and practically none still in the bottom of the glass when you've emptied it. Having said that, mine is occasionally a bit gritty but that's because neither the (lack of) flavor nor the texture bother me at all, and I usually only give the mixture a quick stir and then guzzle it down. If I were to give it say another fifteen or twenty seconds of stirring, then yes, the stuff almost completely dissolves.And of all the supplements you can spend your money on, including bogus junk like amino-acid concoctions and energy drinks and super-duper high tech protein mixtures, there's only one supplement absolutely proven in multiple tests and clinical trials to both increase muscle size, and with it both strength and endurance. The ONLY one. If you haven't tried it, and you do any kind of intense exercise, you have a real surprise waiting for you.One warning though, don't over-do the creatine at first. Explanation: creatine is a completely safe food additive, and it's also one of the most important elements in energy metabolism and cellular respiration. Accordingly, when you ingest creatine monohydrate, the body reacts by storing it in the places where it's actually going to get used: the muscle tissue. For every gram of creatine the body stores, it also must store three grams of water. This has the effect of markedly increasing the girth (cross-sectional area) of the muscle.If that sounds like a purely cosmetic gimmick, well wrong. I will not go into the biomechanics of how this works, but when you increase the cross-sectional area of a muscle, even if you haven't actually increased the amount of muscle tissue, it gives the muscle a biomechanical strength advantage. Meaning, if you take two identical muscles, with the same number of muscle fibers and mass, and you then make one of them increase in girth by pumping creatine and water into it, the swollen muscle will be able to do more work and move more weight than the normal one. So yes, it increases muscle size, and if you use enough creatine it will do it quite fast and will surprise you. Makes muscles look great. But they also become quite literally stronger. They can do more work, generate more power than they could before the creatine. Which means you add actual muscle tissue faster while using creatine. And since creatine is heavily utilized in energy metabolism you also get a boost in anaerobic AND aerobic endurance.So what's the warning I spoke of above? The first time I used creatine, almost thirty years ago, I was already pretty muscular as I used to compete in bodybuilding. So I read the instructions on the creatine bottle, said "yeah, right" and took triple the recommended amount of creatine. In less than a week my muscles had swollen so much that it actually made the skin around my elbows hurt a little when I bent my arm. So yeah, it is possible to overdo it. And understand that this is not bloat or anything like if you were retaining water from too much sodium and the like. Because the water and creatine are actually going inside the muscle, not just accumulating in the skin, if anything it actually enhances definition and also vascularity (veiny-ness) because it's the muscle itself which has increased in size.In short, if I were a couple of weeks out from spring break, and I had been too lazy to hit the gym as hard as I needed to to get ready for the beach, those two weeks I'd be hitting the creatine hard and whatever muscle I did have would be greatly enhanced. Like I said it works fast, in the matter of a few days. If you try this and don't get the effects I'm describing, then you simply aren't using a large enough dosage. The only real risk is you have to remember to keep yourself heavily hydrated (e.g. drink water, lots) because if you don't, the creatine can pull enough water out of your bloodstream and interstitial tissues to actually cause dehydration. It won't kill you, but it could be dangerous if you were exercising outside on a hot day. So, all you have to do is make sure you drink a lot of water and you're home free. Aside from that the stuff is as safe as eating a chicken wing. And because it has such a wide variety of positive effects, it's the one supplement that's almost universally used by endurance athletes, like those insane ones who do marathons and triathlons; by gymnasts and powerlifters who will put to use any increase in power they get from any source; to those primarily exercising for cosmetic reasons, meaning the bodybuilding meatheads you see at the gym. All of them get benefits from it. You will too.

I started taking creatine and this one is great dissolving in my protein shakes or in electrolyte water. You cannot taste it. I recently started a more rigorous workout routine at the gym with new movements and heavier weights. I can really tell a difference because I don't get as sore as I would if I did not take it. It helps with muscle recovery. I like that it only has one ingredient. It does not upset my stomach and the texture is fine so it dissolves well. This is my second time buying, it lasts a good time so its worth the money and its already a great value in price

Quality seems good, the powder is nice and fine, dissolves well, zero issues with it. I don't taste it if I mix it in with something, with water you may have a texture more than a taste, but it's not that big of a deal. Seems like it's working as it should, so no issues. Great price too.

The supplement itself is pretty good. Gives me that boost that I need before a workout. I just can't seem to understand one thing. Is it so difficult to include a scoop in the bag in this day and age? It's literally not gonna cost you anything.

Awesome...no frills, no fuss. Just creatine monohydrate. I add 2 tsp to about 2/3 of a pint glass of water, stir in some Mio, and I do this every evening after dinner. Recommend you buy a battery powered coffee stirrer/frother. Makes it much easy to stir in effectively.

I love bulk supplements. I need a sales job with yall. Be nice to add flavor but I know costs increase. Yall keep these products coming and keep the quality i will keep on ordering BULK SUPPLEMENTS FOR MY DAILY MAINTENANCE. THANK YALL. GET YA BULK ON. WHAT WHAT💪

Been having trouble getting a pump, first arm workout, I couldn't ask for more. Viens bulging and a pump that I truly noticed. I can see why initial studies weren't good. College kids already have great pumps. For someone my age , I notice without creatine , the workout isn't the same. If youre having the same problem, spend 12$ and let me know how you feel after a workout,

Inexpensive Creatine. Only used it for a month or two, but saw noticeable improvements in my strength and lifting after the first few weeks. Make sure to take every day, not just days you go to the gym so it has time to build up in your system.
