How do you determine which creatine benefits you better Creatine Monohydrate or Creatine HCL? Everyone likes to take creatine so why is it so popular among people who plays sports or just enjoy lifting in general? The 2 different types of creatine I will breakdown today will be Creatine Monohydrate and HCI . Most people like to take the normal creatine monohydrate. The reason people like the monohydrate could be many different reasons. They all run about 5 grams which should be consumed everyday while on it and its mainly the most affordable out of the 2 types. Sometimes it can alter the flavor of what you mix it with. Creatine has some good factors for it. it helps with muscle recovery as well as help with gain strength as well. The only side effects that can happen when consuming too much creatine is upset stomach and may cause diarrhea. One of the most popular creatine people like to take is the EFX Kre-Alkalyn which is a Patented buffered type of creatine. With that being said there is no loading of the creatine you would simply just take 2 capsules before and 2 capsules upon finishing your training. It doesn't have the full bloating effect as the normal creatine and still at least 10 times stronger then your normal creatine raw monohydrate. How it works is the stomach acid negates the buffed creatine and converts it to the normal creatine. Another type of creatine raw people look for on the label is the word Creapure. The reason why people like this specific type of creatine is because the raw itself comes from Germany. The other type of creatine I'm here to talk about today is the HCI creatine. HCI can be a little more expensive by a few dollars then your typical Monohydrate because it has some different factors and dosages. When using the HCI it is very fast reacting on the body as well. It is also a lot more soluble with water. By that I mean the mix ability is better and easier to mix by no clumping and absorbs in the body quicker as well. It also is known to be easy on the stomach as well.the water retention is also less and easier to digest as well.
