 Creatine CREACHARGED™

Overview
Here’s what XBrain have to say:

You’re Holding More than a Creatine Formula. You’re holding the BEST form of Creatine in the World. And, it has been blended with the BEST performance and recovery ingredients to help support your healthy and active lifestyle. In each scoop of Crea CHARGED™ you get a massive 8,395 milligrams of Creatine Monohydrate, which may help support a rapid increase strength, muscle mass, and sports performance. 6,530 milligrams of L-Glutamine is added to help support recovery, alongside the now legendary performance peptide - PeptoPro - which may help enhance physical performance, reduced muscle soreness, improved recovery and muscle growth. Plus, with 750 milligrams of XBrain`s breakthrough RNA Nucleotide complex NucleoChraged™- which helps to reduce cortisol , boosts testosterone and support a healthy immune system in athletes - you’re holding more than a Creatine formula. You’re holding a formula for success.

Nutritional Information
 
8.4g is a pretty high dosage of Creatine Monohydrate but since when has more creatine been a bad thing! In fact the standard 5g of creatine per day is a bit of an underestimate for the majority of male lifters out there. I love the inclusion of Glutamine (in a decent amount as well!) but what really makes this product stand out is the inclusion of Nucleotides and PeptoPro. Now you might not have heard of these but Nucleotides have been proven to lower the catabolic hormone Cortisol which is spiked by stress on the body post workout. PeptoPro is a little bit complicated but in short its peptides (chains of amino acids) from Casein which are readily absorbed into the bloodstream and can really help with muscle growth and repair.

So, yeah, it’s a pretty great post workout Creatine supplement!

Taste
The Organic Black Berry flavour is the only one available and it tastes ok but it is a very strong flavour. It reminded me a little bit of Ribena that hasn’t been diluted properly. You could always add a bit more water to make it a bit easier to drink.

It mixes up very well and doesn’t leave any grit. I never had an unpleasant aftertaste either.

Side Effects
None at all, Creatines is often associated with bloating but high quality creatines very rarely bloat you.

Price
£37.99 for a 400g tub with 22 servings in.

Results
I don’t believe in cycling off Creatine, some lifters like to only use it when bulking or on a strength program but have found it priceless when cutting as well. I often change the brand of Creatine or the form but I use a Creatine product year round. I’ve found the best time to take Creatine is post workout or in the morning if it’s a rest day and I’ve found that I prefer a Creatine capsule for no other reason than often I don’t want another drink.

CreaCharged made me re-evaluate my Creatine choices throughout the years. This almost isn’t a Creatine product, it’s a postworkout recovery product and that’s amazing. XBrain could have just given us Creatine but instead they choose to go one further and mix in quality recovery products to really make CreaCharged stand out in a crowd of supplements. Any product that includes Glutamine in any quantity over 5g automatically has my approval but to also add in peptides and anti-catabolic agents in the form of Nucleotides really shows Xbrains scientific approach to muscle gain. Whilst the anti-catabolic agents would be handy on a cut I would say that CreaCharged would be more effective on a mass gain cycle.

The scientific approach XBrain have taken does come with a  price though and that price is £1.72 a serving. Literally the only downside to this product is the price but you are paying for quality. If CreaCharged ever comes on sale then stock up! We love this product, it is fantastic and if your wallet can take the hit then please give it a go. 8.5
