  • After taking the creatine products from Ghost and Beyond Raw, I wanted to compare them. Both of these supplement companies are accessible at your nearest GNC store and have an impressive array of protein, preworkout, creatine, and other muscle building products. If you are interested in their creatine products, which should you choose? Watch to find out.

    I’ve been taking beyond raw for 2 weeks, and I love it. Feel stronger and can do more reps at the gym. It does taste really bitter, but it’s worth it.

    I may not be perfectly right but believe that if your taking multiple supplements for that day, you should take them a few minutes apart. For instance when I'm going to use creatine hcl, pump, and preworkout I usually take creatine first 25 min before, pump 15 minutes before, and the preworkout right when I'm just arriving at the gym parking lot. By the time I'M done warming up (stretching); I'm feeling the gitters and concentration focus on the workouts I'm about to tackle heavily. No matter what supplement i take,always drink plenty of water so i flush everything before going to sleep.

    • @dougiebarnard
      @dougiebarnard  5 років тому +2

      Juan Herrera - Juan thank you for your question. As far as upset stomachs, I think it varies person to person. From my experience monohydrate has led to more discomfort than hydrochloride. The Ghost product is a blend of both. I never experienced stomach discomfort taking it. There may be a tiny bit of water weight or bloating on the Ghost product as compared to the Beyond Raw because of the monohydrate. But this is very minimal. Hope this helps!

    Here’s a dumb question (🤷🏻‍♂️) what happens if I’m mixing beyond raw with more than the suggested 8oz of water? I’m actuallydoing about 12 oz. but I’m stacking it with muscletech shatter ripped and amino max all in 12 oz of water. And it taste great with all 3. Not to mention I’m feeling a big difference in the gym and getting good muscle gains. Plus I see my self slimming down. So am I not getting the products at it’s full capacity cause of watering it down? Idk....

    • @dougiebarnard
      @dougiebarnard  5 років тому +2

      Thank you for your question. Stacking beyond raw with other products is fine. As long as you're taking a full dose of creatine hcl you will be good. It's more important how much water you're drinking on a daily basis than how much you're mixing the creatine with. How do you like muscletech's shatter ripped?

    • @TheGolfClan

      Kevin Coronel Firstly, 10g of hcl is more than you need. 5g / day is plenty. If you are putting in the daily work in the gym you should start feeling and seeing results between 4-6 weeks, if not sooner. Tough to say whether you'd see better results. Difference is marginal.
