“Creatine, it is one of the most researched supplements there is and there are no known side-effects. Your body produces it naturally anyway. Your get it through food… Across the board it is totally safe and incredibly powerful to create more powerful athletes…If you are an athlete you should be taking creatine, Creatine MonoHydrate, no matrixes, no complexes, no blends, no fancy nothing, 5 grams a day. Don’t need to load it, don’t need to go off of it, don’t need to work about meal timing.” – Ben Bergeron, CrossFit New England and CompTrain

From Frank, the owner of First City Fitness
“I have found that some of lower-quality brands of Creatine out there gave me digestive issues. Thankfully there are many brands out there and I have found a quality brand that does not give me any digestive issues. I am happy to give anyone a sample to try out. If you decide to try out other brands, remember you want “Creatine MonoHydrate, no matrixes, no complexes, no blends, no fancy nothing, 5 grams a day”

Creatine is also one of the most affordable supplements. The brand I use is Optimum Nutrition Micronized Creatine Powder. You can purchase it online for as little as $0.30/serving by clicking here.
