BEST CREATINE: Legion Recharge
Besides being naturally flavored and totally delicious, Recharge is elevated above other products with the addition of banaba leaf, which may help with insulin sensitivity, and l-carnitine l-tartrate, which may improve recovery from tough workouts.

BEST CREATINE MONOHYDRATE: Muscle Feast Creatine
This is plain creatine monohydrate but it's one of four brands approved by third party testing site Labdoor, plus it's made with high quality German Creapure® brand creatine.
Buy it here: amzn.to/2VmYKfM
BEST CREATINE STACK: Cellucor Cell-Tech
There's some limited evidence that combining creatine with carbohydrates and alpha-lipoic acid, as is the case, might help to slightly improve absorption.
Buy it here: amzn.to/2Fx9gqc
BEST CREATINE PILLS: Universal Nutrition Creatine Chews
The advantage here is that they're chews, so they don't require any water and they're easier to take on the go. They're also made with Creapure and are free from artificial sweeteners.
Buy it here: amzn.to/2JNo0Xd
BEST CREATINE HYDROCHLORIDE: Kaged Muscle's Creatine HCl
Tasty, reasonably priced for a creatine HCl, and third party tested by Informed Choice, this may be a good option for folks who experience indigestion from regular creatine.
Buy it here: amzn.to/2FyMz4Z
BEST CREATINE FOR WOMEN: Muscle Feast Creatine
Men and women don't really need different creatine products, but supplements that are aimed at women tend to avoid any additional ingredients that might further increase muscle size - not that there's anything wrong with women trying to increase muscle size. We just went with our favorite creatine monohydrate, here.
Buy it here: amzn.to/2VmYKfM
BEST CREATINE FOR BULKING: Transparent Labs Creatine HMB
The hydroxymethyl butyrate in here may help with muscle retention, and one study found that taking HMB with creatine is better for performance than taking either on its own.

Hey folks, Nick has an updated Best Creatine video with new picks! Check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/o9Zx9ip1keM/v-deo.html&ab_channel=BarBend
What would be best creatine for strength?
It’s so rare to see someone who just gets straight to the point. Thank you.
Yes! & i appreciate that too❣️
Actually it us just an advertisement video. There is no laboratory tests in his video to support the fact that this or that brand is better.
U will be surprised if check the tests for each brand and figure out that some has no creatine in it.
Love this video, straight to the point and honest. Doesn’t just promote whoever he’s sponsored by. You can put as many ads you want in your video, I’m glad to support you.
Honestly what I've learned is always get creatine that is manufactured in Germany. Monohydrate is the most common and best but polyethylene glycosysted creatine is said to be a very effective form. And drink plenty of water.
What brands of creatine are manufactured in Germany?
@@harrisonbrun1205 anything with the label of creapure.
Make up your mind
@@RC-ro3hf what!? I did lmao
So I am skinny guy muscle feast creapure is what I need?? I currently using optimum nutrition creatine
Wow, i'm impressed really good video!
Appreciate the feedback, Josh! - Nick
SOLID vid on Creatine AND in general. To the point, citing stuff the companies say as well as noting the effects and possibilities of other materials these companies put in. People should follow your example.
really solid video, you got your self a subscriber. Thank you for not wasting my time.
Great videos, good reviews!
This vid was mad helpful
Very informative. Ty!
What about Purple K? I never see any reviews and thats the one that works the best on md to my opinion
Maybe it’s just me and my body type or something, but Muscle Techs Celltech and oddly Six Stars X3 worked amazing for me - I went from a slim 155 to a filled out and bulked up 175 in a matter of about 4 months- I tried out a lot of others- Universal, C-HCL, Muscletechs Creactor, Beast, etc. I’d definitely recommend Celltech, but if you want to save money then X3 is also a great product for me- great gains from these two.
Great review. I'm glad I found your videos. I purchased the muscle great need on your review. Can you do a video on mixing creatine and coffee? There isn't a lot of information available. Your reviews are thorough and I trust you'll be objective.
Hey glad you like the video! I actually wrote an article on creatine + caffeine a couple of weeks ago right here! barbend.com/creatine-caffeine/ - Nick
You gonna be shitting
Very helpful, thanks
Did you test the Integrated Supplements creatine that's sitting there in the video? Looks like it's also Creapure.
Thanks bro found some muscle feast free shipping great breakdown of topics
Very helpful and informative, thank you!
Ur so beautful
thank you for Kuwait for this video.
Erik Sixx it’s good and humid thanks for asking 💪🏻
Hi wich creatin is better cell tech or recharge?
Nice info thx.
Legion always underrated!
I have Legion Watermelon flavor but I tasted awful when I was loading it. Suggest any other flavors?
@@bots4365 no need to load.
@@stieg_smith no reason not to
Get non flavored and mix it with juice, what I used to do.
The one that’s been studied the most. That’s the one I’ll use. Simple. 👍
the legion reeharge creatine doesnt look like the one in the video when you buy it
Never expected stridewise to also be a fitness UA-camr.
So what’s the best one
I'm straight, but diggin' those pink shorts.
Cell Tech is the truth! 💪🏼
Does the Recharge unflavoured have an aftertaste or no flavor at all?
Can someone tell me if Thorne creatine is any good because I have no idea and I just started using it
Best creatine from fit blends?
Do any of these mix bad? I use to use Optimum Nutrition Creatine Monohydrate and it felt like I was drinking crunchy water
I use optimal nutrition in the pill form and they're great.. the only downside is you going to have to intake four pills to make 5g
Creatine is like drinking crushed glass , tasted bad to me and I have seen no difference what so ever .
I use six start creatine and I like the fruit punch flavor better than the pills . its the best that I've come across so far . and I also take N.O. fury before working out along with 1000mg vitamin C , Iron and magnesium and that combination together makes a very noticeable difference with me .
Blahhhhh
Be careful with that one. It has red dye n. 40 and has side effects including stomach aches.
@@ogproductions6864 you read but a lot of it is cause of people over do it
When I was in high school back in the 90s we always were told to take creative with a spoon full of honey
@BarBend Hi, did you try Dymatize creatine, it looks like broken glass, are all monohydrates like that?
It should look like granulated sugar. - Nick
@@Barbend creatine is a cheap supplement, different company's have different prices for the same amount of servings, what's is considered a good price for 500 grams without it being a rip off ?
“Which may “
That’s the quote lol 😂
I’m new to body lifting and a young adult, I’m mostly looking for mass gain (ofc mostly muscle) and I don’t really know what to decide on so can someone please recommend one, thank you
Same
What about dymatize cretine?
how do you take it ? do you have to be on a times routine or jjsy once a day ?
5-7 times a week
How I’m going to trust you?are you doing advertising for some brands?
someone tell me what is a creatine i can take for losing some weight but adding muscle
Definitely not creatine monohydrate. Thats gonna bloat u. Use creatine HCL... no bloating
@@bladebrown3754 is the one he’s recommending hcl
@@bladebrown3754 monohydrate prevents bloating
Which creatine most best for cutting and shaping abs? Don't want to buy wrong creatine
thai massive creatine doesn’t cut or shape anything. You have the wrong idea about it.
Abs are made in the kitchen
Ya dummy
If anything creatine can cause bloating 😐
The C-HCL only has 750 mg. Isn’t that less then 1gram of creatine?
Derek Pliego yep
So regular creatine bloats you?
How many types of creatine altogether are there
Not much more than 10 are on the market: barbend.com/different-forms-creatine/ - Nick
I probably won't get a reply but if so I have been building muscle since I was 11 and I've got some pretty bad genetics it takes a long time for me to build muscle and I want to know if witch one of these would help me best I've spent a lot of money on creatine with very little results I've only used monohydrate what product would be best please help
Hey Brandon. At your age, you really just need a good strength program and plenty of food. Work out the calories you need and eat that. Creatine monohydrate is fine. About 10% of people don't respond to creatine, so maybe that's you. But most important is to get in your calories and your workouts. Do that and you'll see more progress. - Nick
@@Barbend thank you I might not respond to it I've been working out for 5 years and been using creatine 1 and a half so your probably right thank you I will start doing that thank you
@@Hot_Rod_lincoln u said u have been training for 5 years since u were 11 so u are 16 now and u saying u have bad genetics bro ur testerone is not that high at ur age when u started but at 16 or 17 u ll start making the gains just trust the process because it takes time
U deserve more subs
Thanks man. A guy with an IQ like yours would know! - Nick
Facts
Would you recommend legion creatine, or muscle feast for a teenager?
If you want creatine, Muscle Feast. If you want creatine plus LCLT, Legion. - Nick

Regular creatine monohydrate will do the trick, honestly. - Nick
@@Barbend any creatine should it right??
Whats your opinion on steel's atp fusion which is kre-alkalyn?

Is it best to take before or after workout
its not too much of a difference but from what ive read and researched its best after a workout
Muscle Feast!
Does muscle feast bad for building a lot of muscle
Been taking creatine for a month now. And I noticed my back pain is 100 percent gone.
Can you explain a little more on your situation?
@@coronacuh I work long hours and my back hurts a lot. And ever since I been taking creatine the pain is not there anymore
@@thevibestation5174 I have three slipped discs that flare up here and there. I only run 🏃🏻 but would like to get into weightlifting to change things up. My back also hurts from sitting long hours. Been hearing creatine can actually help with back pain but never tried it before. Which brand do you use, how often and how much? Thanks
I always considered myself a hard gainer, but the reality was I had always had a lousy diet. As soon as I started following the Agoge diet, I started gaining muscle fast!

😂😂. Have you seen any improvements tho?
@@rickycruz2742 no I sent it back and got pure creatine
Which is best for teenagers? Great video btw
Doesn’t matter.
Buy Creatine
None.. the average age to start taking creatine is 20 and up.
“Natural Flavours “ and you say it’s pure ? 🤔
Appreciate video content! Sorry for chiming in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you thought about - Chireetler Muscle Array Rule (should be on google have a look)? It is a smashing one off guide for learning how to get massive arms without the headache. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my friend Sam after a lifetime of fighting got great success with it.
Monohydrate is supported in research as the best. No other form matters in any way or adds benefits lol idk why these UA-cam wannabes keep saying newer creatine is better. Oh yeah cuz they are promoting so they make money. Dug
Smh here we go. Some people cannot digest it well and causes bloating so that’s why I prefer HCL
@@claudiamarianidamato9499 hcl prevents bloating?
Trying to decide if I want to go with the Cell Tech or just go straight with the Optimum Nutrition micronized. I can get two 56 serving tubs of Cell Tech for $75 (buy one get one 1/2 off right now) or one 380 serving tub of Micronized for $40-$50. I just started bulking a few days ago after losing 40lbs.
I’d say think about it based on your goals- I bulked up over the course of three to four months- and then maintained it. I used a combination of Cell Tech and Six Star X3 to bulk up, and then maintained the levels with Universal. If you want to bulk up then the extra ingredients that come with Cell Tech and X3 are a huge help.
4 years ago....how's that bulking routine going?
Won’t cell tech give me the same effects as STEROIDS?

What!? Nick the fashion guy teaching about supplements.

thorne creatine
Just stick with good ole creatine monohydrate. It’s really all the same. Just different brands. 5 grams is all you need a day after loading phase. You technically don’t even have to do a loading phase if you’re not in a rush. I brought 200 servings for $20. If you’re already eating a lot of protein, you’re getting creatine from chicken, beef, and other sources anyways, so the purity doesn’t matter with that German bullshit that costs more
