Comment:
I keep some water or juice in my mouth and try to drop my portion of creatine to the back of my tongue and swallow it in one go, hardly feel the taste and it never comes in contact with my teeth. Results with this product are amazing. Where monohydrate failed to deliver this worked amazingly! I am a hard gainer and this product gave me that much needed boost. From benchpressing 50kg (including bar) I got to 80kg (including bar) in a month!

Quite a stong fruit juice like apple, grapefruit or grape juice.
Comment:
O.k., well for the taste related comments, I think why people think it doesn't taste particularity nice is because the suggested dose is really small, and because of this (myself included) assumed that only a small amount (about 75ml's) of juice should be required. When I added this amount it really did taste awful, however if you add quite a lot (200ml's ish) then you really can't taste it. With regards to the effectiveness, its brilliant, as a vegetarian I hadn't had Creatine for a while (as it is only naturally found in a normal diet from red meat), so I actually had a little bit of an energy high when I first took it (similar to about 4 or 5 strong coffee's!). I've noticed a huge difference in my appearance and in how much I can press. Its really fast working and compared to anywhere else on the internet, very good value! Oh and the service is excellent as well.

Don't complain guys, it's taste is tolerable. Not a vanilla shake but the result is more important. Look I take a mixture of bad tasting Myprotein stuff in 0,5 dl water 30 mins before my workout, stir them... big breath and quick swallow. This mixture include: 3g Creatin Etyl Ester, 1g Arginin etyl ester, 1g AAKG, 1g Acetyl L-Carnitin, 1g Tyrosin, 2g Taurin. What a shake, hahahaha!

Firstly, the taste isnt THAT bad. All these people saying that it's the worst thing that they have ever tasted ever, get a grip!! It doesnt taste very nice, but its nowhere near bad enough to stop you from drinking it! This is a very effective product. For whatever reason I never weighed how much i was putting in using a scoop from a different product, turns out i was putting half doses in and was still getting results! People were commenting on me looking bigger, after just one months usage! Deffinatley worth a go

Comment:
I gulp it down neat with water no problem but my flatmate gagged when he tried it, everyone's different. If you're really worried about not being able to take the taste then get the smallest pouch size, other suggestions: with OJ or drink while holding your nose. Worked well for me otherwise, being able to drink without carbs has made it much easier to consume than normal creatine, I have seem definite weight and size gains (I have put on about a stone in 4 months) and whenever I have come off for a week break have noticed some water loss in my body. It has also helped me with strength gains, so I consider it the only real essential supplement along with protein powder.

If i wanted a tasty beverage i'd have a beer, if i wanted to gain some strength and increase my workout time id always go for this product. Its no secret this stuff tastes terrible but i think two seconds of hell for your tastebuds is a price i'm willing to pay for what this product does for me. I've used creapure in the past and found it a superior product to any other creatine i've used but this stuff is even better! i've noticed myself being able to push out those vital last few reps at the end of my workout with much more ease in a short space of time. I mix mine in a glass with a mouthful of water, neck it and then just drink some more water and it'll wash the taste out of your mouth! I honestly can't believe some of the fuss and measures some people on here will go to for a bit of a bad taste on their tongue. Imagine its a shot of tequila or something see it away like a man and get on with your workout you big bunch of wetties!! top product MP!!

Comment:
People complaining about the taste of this are missing the point of the supplement all together. CEE is designed to be easier to dissolve and easier to uptake by the muscles meaning that its effects should become apparent more rapidly. On this front, yes it does its job. You'll soon feel like you have slightly more in the tank to squeeze that extra rep or two out. But don't believe reviews claiming their lifts sky rocketed because of this. Most likely they just started lifting and were still experiencing easy gains. This won't magically make your bench float into the stratosphere but may help break a plateau if stuck. Tastes like sh*t, but you're not taking this for the taste.

At my friends faces when I tell them to try it haha. Ok first off...taste. Those who say its nice or even close to nice obviously had their tongues removed! Battery acid comes to mind! To be fairthough ya kinda get used to it to some degree and if ya get it down ya quickly its nasty but nothin to shout about.. if ya put it in orange juice (or any other juice I would imagine) it's just fine (still not exactly nice though). Ok the main reason I'm giving it 5 stars is because it work. It does MP say it does so fair play! All the performance of Monohydrate but no bloat and no loading phase! No problems with my stomach either. If you value your taste buds leave it alone!! if its performance you want then get it.

I was surprised to see the troubles people have with this supplement, I prefer it to mono because mono made me bloated and EEHCL does not. No big problems with the taste, to me it just tastes like medicine or something. And I notice no stomach problems what so ever. BUT I just put a dirty old penny in a strong EEHCL solution and a few minutes(!) later it is shiny! No kidding. So I'm gonna watch my teeth from now on...

it is true it tastes acid like 10 lemon juice concentrated in 5 ml but as long as you drink it fast no problem at all. No stomach problem no gut problem no urination problem no water retention. In the gym well it seems to work very well: I am on a ketogenic diet at the moment the hardcore style : whey + fish meat etc olive oil fish oil hemp oil and fiber supplement I train 4 times a week to the burn to deplete as much glycogen as I can, and despite this I keep pushing hard until friday. Definetely a good source of anaerobic energy furthermore it helps with recovery I am sometime sore but nothing comparable with the \"no Creatine ethyl ester\" training. In conclusion tastes acid but you feel the difference in the gym and see the result in the mirror.\r\n\r\nHugh

I bought a load of creatine hcl and a capping kit. Within about half an hour of taking them it feels like my stomach is eating itself , it is extremely uncomfortable and sometimes verging on painful.Ive tried spreading the capsules throughout the day and drinking tonnes of water with them but it makes no difference. If i take even only one capsule about 600mg it still feels like ive had a shot of battery acid.Learn from my mistake if your going to buy it then get a free sample or buy the smallest amount possible save wasting money like i did. Strangly enough i also bought arginine hcl and glutamine hcl and have no problems with them at all.

I think it does work to a limited extent, but then again normal mono didn't do anything for me except give me bad stomach pains. Definately mixes well (no gritty bits left in the bottom of the glass) and i'd rather get this than any other creatine. I just haven't been able to take it regularly for ages. haven't taken some for a while and strength is a bit lower than normal. will have a competition in 4 days so i'll be taking around 5g per day till then and i can see if it's the ethyl ester that makes the extra few % difference.

Having read a few reviews before i bought it I wasn't expecting this stuff to taste good, got it and i was right! However having tried a few different drinks to take it with i've found the best so far is tonic water, take a shot glass worth and drop the CEE on top, neck it and you hardly get the taste. The tonic is pretty similar really! Anyway only been on it for 2 weeks, looking forward to some results

I was astonished at the price of this product when I saw it, I'd had great experiences with CEE before and had to try it. Sure the taste is quite obvious, but I must say I've paid good money for food that was harder to take than this supplement.\r\n\r\nI see a lot of people are suggesting taking this with an acidic drink, against the advice of a lot of studies which say that acidity reduces the useful of creatine supplements.\r\n\r\nThe less fluid the faster you can chug it and grab something better tasting to get the taste out your mouth. I had been mixing it with my pre-workout protein, but I think i'll stick to doing it seperately.

Having used creatine before with good results, I thought I would give CEE as the body absorbs it better than standard creatine... BUT this stuff is very hard to get out of the tub, let alone mix. Leaves huge clumps in the container which are very difficutl to break up into the amount you need, once you have managed to do that and transfer it into a shaker you have to go mad trying to get it to disolve. \nThe worst bit has to be the taste, but if it does the job that is something I can put up with (nothing thats good for you ever really tastes good!)\nIf MP could 'fix' it out so that you are not sent concrete in a tub, I would probably carry on using it, but until that time its back to regular micronized creatine for me.

Too many people on these reviews and for all the other products are too concerned about taste, texture etc. People want to know if these products work so they can decide whether or not to buy them so please can we stick to proper reviews. Fair enough taste has it's place in a review. So to get it out of the way... Tastes horrible, you do get used to it when mixed with other supplements. Mixability - Not great as it tends to come in big lumps. Effectiveness - Well I've tried only a couple of creatine products over the years so I don't have extensive experience, the other ones were monohydrate. the problem I found with these were the loading phase and the bloating they give you. Never really got the massive pump effect normally given with creatine. Until I tried this STUFF!! Massive pumps during workout which effectively is water, however, this is important as it proves the body is absorbing the creatine, which is one of the many concerns with the CEE. It's believed that CEE is poorly absorbed because of its instability with acid. I have had no problems with this. I try to drink my CEE with whey or hydrolysed whey post workout with some dextrose, mix it with water and BAM. Obviously drining it mixed with a potent acidic drink MAY reduce its potential. So to conclude. The price of this is fantastic as 500g's lasts for months, only needs to be supplemented x 1 a day ( I use pre and post ) No loading, I WOULD RECCOMMEND ANYONE TRY THIS. (If you are more concerned about taste, texture etc. then stop bodybuilding and buying supplements and puting other people off what is potentially an amazing product.)\n\nDerek

As everyone has mentioned the taste ain't great, a bit like battery acid. With an acidic juice it goes down easy though, just make the juice taste more acidic than usual - i prefer grapefuit.

Taste is a little extreme though quickly get used to it with the help of the Berry Blast (goodness only knows what it tastes like without it?)\r\n\r\nMoved to this from Creatine Mono and have noticed an instant increase in workout energy levels (I have a minimum carbs diet) which was most welcomed. This has also provided an approx 10% increase in weights lifted which again is most welcomed.\r\n\r\nA great product though would give serious consideration to the CEE tablets next order for sheer simplicity and avoidance of that rather interesting taste:)

I opted for the CEE as Mono always makes me nauseous approx 30 mins after taking, which coupled with the loading phase makes for an unpleasant time! Yes the taste is the worst I have experienced (a mixture of 30 paracetamol and hairspray), but this is a small part of the substance experience with improved gains and shortened recovery time. To circumvent the taste I put a small amount of water in a glass (approx an 1.5" in a pint glass) and neck it in one whilst holding my nose, then guzzle a glass of water immediately after. Give it a go if you can handle strong pungent tastes/suffer from Mono nausea/Mono doesn't work for you.

Used to be on mono, made me bloated and gave little in the way of performance. However, CEE gives me no bloating and really makes the difference in the gym, helping me do more work. OK it doesn't taste spectacular with water, but the serving is so small you can easily down it in one. Would rather suffer for a few seconds (just wash it down with cordial straight after you neck it) and see great results in the gym than have regular gains. Remember, convenional methods give conventional gains

Get an innocent smoothie and pour some in a small glass (an amount you can shot) pop the CEE on top and simply swig it in one, it'll be down and over before you can complain.\r\n\r\nGood product also, been on it for about 6 weeks and it's certainly giving me a more pumped look. Don't know whether its a placebo but i've also significantly upped the weights since being on it.\r\n\r\nAt this price, it's worth a try at least!

I have recently started to mix the Creatine with Tesco effervescent orange Vitamin C 1000mg tablets. (99p for 20) Firstly it helps dissolve the creatine powder and also masks the taste. Well worth a try! As for the product it works for me.

Everyone knows this stuff tastes absolutely rancid, but I'm not going into that. I have been using CEE for a few months now, excellent for Thai/Kickboxing training. With this stuff I can keep on going non stop on padwork / sparring. With weights, I have seen some big increases in power and strength. \n\nI was a non responder to mono, but this is TOP CLASS. Brilliant for endurance training!

I bought this a couple days back will write up a review on it soon, not tested it yet.\n\nI saw a god aweful amount of comments on the "taste" on here, so I just wanted to address this.\n\nyes the taste was so bad it put me off CEE altogther, I dont want to drink pints of carb heavy drinks before a workout and put on fat. Besides CEE doesn't even mix well.\n\nYou have a couple of choices\n\nBuy them in cap from off myprotein.co.uk\npros: very easy to use\ncons: triple the price (but still quite cheap)\n\nBuy CEE berry blast flavouring of CEE\npros: berry flavoured CEE\ncons: very expensive, and you need 1:1 portions of flavouring:CEE - not worth it IMO\n\nBut a capping kit and make them yourself\npros: very cheap\ncons: very time consuming, messy

First of all when it comes to the price compared to other shops/online companies this Creatine CEE HCL is priced well. As for my own personal results from the product well I consumed it for a total of 5-6 months (1 teaspoon a day for 5 or 6 weeks with a weeks rest at the end of the 5th or 6th week then started the cycle again) and I noticed my strength slightly increased but didn’t get much of a energy boost like some others if I took it before training, as for size once again a slight increase. For me I was taking this product with whey protein during the 5-6 months so its hard to truly say where the gains mainly come from (but in theory most of my gains should have been from my protein shakes being one of the main elements for growth) as most of you will know Creatine (apart from energy boots for prolonged training) helps store higher levels of water for strength and size but during the later stages of the 5-6 month period of intake I found my body become too use to the Creatine and didn’t seem to absorb as much Creatine as they did during the first few months (and I know its common for the body to get use to a supplement after long usage but I thought following the guidelines my body would always welcome added Creatine during training like protein shakes which your body always happily welcomes) causing water retention in other parts of the body making me feel bloated at times (and no this was not fat because my diet never changed). Personally for ME the stuff is mostly good but not excellent and in future if I ever take this stuff again I will take it over smaller periods also having longer breaks in-between, be interesting to find out if any of you guys experienced your body failing to absorb as much Creatine over long periods of time even if you follow the guidelines? Has anyone tested this stuff on its own with only just a good natural high protein diet without any other supplements be interesting to see what these results are over a long period of time as this would be a more fair reflection on the stuff?

As everyone has discovered the taste is dreadful, but I have found that if you mix 2.5g-3.0grams of creatine with 150ml pure pineapple juice, it neturalizes the taste and can be taking with ease. I have found that the creatine has increase my level of exercise in the four weeks I have been taking it.

Ok, so this really really does taste bad, make no mistake you will regret having this with just water BUT orange juice, or any other citric fruit juice will mask the taste enough to make it bearable. \n\nResults seem to be better than the cheaper creatine, which didn't seem to make much of a difference. Might just be a coincidence with harder training and recently taking BCAA's as well, but my arms and legs are defo looking fuller, I guess that goes for everywhere else too, but I've got to lose some more weight to really see if has made a difference their too.\n\nI'd have given it 5 stars if I was 100% convinced, at the moment I'm just 95% convinced

firstly the taste, similar to battery acid, but it last for all of 5 seconds. i just chug it with water then wash down with another glass. its fine. also, after a couple of weeks you stop tasting it all together, doesn't bother me at all anymore.\nnow the main issue, there are a lot of reports that slate CEE, saying that the degredation to creatinine is too great for absorption of useful creatine levels. however, having skimmed two of these articles and become sceptical of CEE the results have spoken for themselves, being my first time on creatine i can't reference it to mono, but i can definitely tell the difference from not using it. \n\nso its up to you really, the taste shouldn't be an issue, man-up. the only real question is whether you buy into the idea of CEE or just want to stick with mono

Like all of the reviews say the taste is not the best, at first i couldn't handle it so the 500g tub was left on the shelf for months. I tried it again a few weeks ago and mixed it up like a shot with about 50ml of water then mix for a while. Neck it down and then follow it with a mouthful of another drink, i have pure orange to cover the taste. Has helped me get the last few reps out during a heavy session and lean tissue is increasing too without retaining water. Use to get stomach bloating and cramps with mono but doesn't happen with this because of the better absorbtion. it works out a lot cheaper then mono too because although price per serving works out the same the CEE lasts longer because you only take 3g a day wheras with mono you take 20g loading phase then 5g after that. would give it 5 but again the taste is bad

The point of Ethyl Ester (allegedly) is that it's a better delivery system than Monohydrate. Most Creatine monohydrate comes with a 'Consume with juice' direction, because the creatine latches onto the fructose in the juice as a delivery system to the blood cells. \n\nSo when you have a Creatine Ethyl Ester product, which doesn't need this, yet you end up mixing it with orange juice anyway because it tastes so vile - you're really defeating the object in the first place and you're better off just buying Creatine Monohydrate - same results, a third of the price.

Rated this 4 stars atm. Will if replys can ease some concerns report back after the first month with a more balanced score.\n\nCheers.\n

Hello I have used creatine mono and after a week or so. You start to see strengh increases also energy levels go up more. Then after a few weeks you start to go firmer and harder also build up better lean tissue. The price is very good value at the moment. Also the taste is ok mixed with a drink juice of some kind. I have used creatine ethyl easter the taste is really bad and the smell is bad. Anther thing it dont allways mix the best ethyl compared to mono easy. Also you get the same gains using mono to ethyl no diffrence really. I rather use creatine mono due to the price and taste also value amount. The stuff really does work but has to be taken with carbs foods before work out's for best results using creatine. Anther thing to stop any pains in your stumuch you need to drink more water when using creatine water is needed at least 2 pints a day. I am rating ethyl 3 star due to bad taste, bad smell and mixing not the best. Creatine mono I rate 5 star due to being far better supplement.

Ok for the bitter taste. Only lasts 2secs until a weak lemon juice washes it down, tbh its not as bad as people make it out to be. Now as for the product itself..well hands down the best creatine I have used in yrs. Used the normal CM for yrs. Got good results but you had to load then reload every some many weeks. Add I would go through the stuff fast due to loading phases and the 10g per day. With this product theres no loading and only needs one small dose per day. Its taking effect within four days of use and Iam realy happy with the pump and boost in lifting strength. Price is the best out there, 1kg will last for a year and comming in under thirty pounds its so cost effective over the normal creatine. It may not work for everyone but one happy customer here.

For lean tissue building this product is actually insane, the gains in strength and appearance are very good and is visible after 4weeks (even less than 4 weeks but 4weeks is a safe bet!). I added 7.5Kg to Dumbell press in 4weeks. HOWEVER, if you do a lot of endurance stuff (e.g. running, rowing, cycling) it is a killer. My 5K running time has had 2minutes added to it, and not taking the creatine before hand wont help this, because the creatine is built in the stores in your body so your pretty much screwed. Hydration is paramount if your adament you want to continue the creatine whilst being an endurance trainer, however still not reccomended. \nFor short course goals (e.g. getting built for the summer) this supplement is a must with a hard cardio regime (no matter how much it knocks your time off you still need to do this as creatine will make you look fatter)\n

I have taken Creatine MONO for a number of years and always had good results from it, normally putting on about 10Ibs in lean fib in the first 6 weeks and never really retained much water either around the gut. I decided to give CEE a go after reading many rave reviews about it. Ok, first thing , as we have all come to realise is the taste.. not great, but you can live with it. It is soluble however some may disagree. The best way to get it to mix is to add about a small amount of hot water into glass, mix it up then add orange cordial and cold water. Nice and easy. I took it for 6 weeks, twice a day 5 gms a serving pre and post workout but have to say i didn't really make much gain at all, perhaps 2Ibs . I think it comes down to personal preference and what supplements work for you. I am going back to MONO as this is what works really well . Its cheaper and doesn't taste as bad either . Give CEE a go and see what you think.

I could never do dips to save my life, but now I can manage it with just a little help.

nothing aginst the product as such - yeah its tastes foul but then i'd drink anti-freeze if i got the results i was looking for !! taken CEE before and got nothing from it so I conclude I'm a "mono man."

Never tried Creatine before so spent a week or so looking at the different types of Creatine out there and reading others reviews and tests. I settled on Creatine Ethyl Ester as liked not having to do a loading period and the suggestion of a good absorption rate.\n\nI have now been on it for two weeks, - I have chosen to take 4g instead of the recommended 3g and split it into two. One drink (2g) an hour before workout and 2g immediately after. On non workout or cardio days I take 4g in the morning. I chose this method because there are so many conflicting stories of when best to take it so thought id cover all angles.\n\nOk first thoughts were as many others have said it doesnt taste too good (still not great even with the Berry Blast Flavouring, but def worth adding it) but I would by no means say it was unbearable...Man up for those complaining about the taste! Good things usually taste bad huh!\n\nI did start to get headaches in the first couple of days but thought this may be down to not taking on board enough water as at the end of the day it is pushing it into your tissues, so I drank more water and no headaches since! I have found no bloating or any other side effects as of yet.\n\nAnyway the important bit is in this second week my strength has definately gone up, alot more and faster than any progression before. I could say some of it may be psycological help in the gym (because your pushing thinking the Creatine works) but I can truly say it has def played its part. I feel more pumped and my gf has noticed my arms/shoulders/chest have a harder look to them....Im looking fwd to seeing how it plays out for another 4 weeks before having a month off of it. \n\nHope you find my review useful and good luck if you decide on Creatine EE.\n\n

Hi, i bought some of this stuff a couple of weeks ago, i don't know if it has had time to fully take effect yet as i bought it along with my first lot of protein but i have definately increased in strength by approx 10kg in most area's after just a short time.\n\nEverybody talks about the taste but i dont understand why, its obviously disgusting but not so much that you cant take it. I just put it in a very small amount of water (enough to down in one) and just neck it, can hardly even taste it that way. The first way i did it was to put it in 300ml of water, it took me 30 mins to drink! Just put a tiny bit of water in a glass, mix, and drink!\n\nOne potential major problem i have come across is since i have started taking it, and the protein as i started at the same time, i have experienced heart palpitations! I have had these in the past but very, very rarely but the other night i had them all night and morning and it was starting to get frustrating! They have gone for now but if they come back like before i will obviously go to the doctor and see what he says. Ive searched the internet and apparently everone gets them and some things set them off more than others, does anybody (scientificly) know if the creatine or protein could have caused this or am i just being nervous and it is a coincidence?\n\n

The worst thing about this product is the taste, but to be fair its not too bad if you drink it like a shot followed but water. It does a good job of keeping your intensity up during anaerobic exercise.

Im with Mr Toolan - i dont know why people comment so much on the taste. it lasts for a second at the most then is gone when you have another drink straight after. i swirl the powder in the water so it spins in the middle and clumps together then just neck it. we are not taking this for the pleasure of the taste but for the results. oh and the results are great. i found no water bloating like mono.

Makes you look beefy without even having a workout!! Does de-hydrate you a little, easy to combat with more fluid intake. Pre workout this stuff gives you the pump too. As to the taste, I honestly didnt think it was that bad, just hold your nose and down it quickly!

I am now on my 3rd cycle of this stuff, and i have seen BIG improvements whilst using it in terms of both strength and size. Very impressed and would recommend this product to anyone who wants to see gains in the gym.\n\nI first tried this stuff with the MP Berry blast, which tasted awful. Now i just knock it back in a shot of straight squash, which is far more bearable.\n\n

This is a very good product, doesn't have to be taken with sugar unlike mono and no loading phase. Lots of people seem to be moaning about the taste, I simply bought the berry blast MP flavoring stuff and it works a treat, almost completely hides the CEE taste

Hey I have just had my first experience of Creatine Ethyl Ester HCL - the taste is so bad - i agree with all the other reviews that it has to be the worst thing I have ever tasted. \n\nBut i recommend that you have a loading phase for the first 5 days - which you take four tea-spoons of the stuff a day. (This is kind of hard with the horrible taste). \n\nI will re-post in a couple of weeks to give you an update on the benefits i have received in the gym - if any.\n

Like everyone else's reviews, i found this stuff tastes horrible! But just neck quick a small amount of water, then follow up with a glass of water or something, to hide the taste!\n\nAs for the dosage, i'm thinking that 3g a day isn't enough? I had some Metrex creatine a few months back, and it said take 4 teaspoons a day. (and each teaspoon was 5g)\n\nSo for packing on size, how much CEE should i take a day? and what times?\n\nany help would be very appreciated!

I used to buy maximuscles Creatamax extreme, which added 30kgs to most my major lifts and lost it all when I came off it! That costs £40 a tub that lasts 7 days. Thats good if you can afford it.\n\nMy friend told me about CEE and I'd thought I'd give it a go. It took me about 2 weeks intially to notice anything and was giving up however after the 2 weeks I noticed it was giving me extra strength pretty much the same as the creatamax extreme as the weeks passed. And with such a little dose its great.\n\nIt helped me get my squat to 200kgs from 100 kgs in 3 months with gains every week. Also not as much water retention as you get with creatamax\n\nSummary: Just buy it you cant lose out really at myprotein.co.uk price. You WILL make gains unless your lazy at gym. Also have patience for it to work! Although everyone is different could take days, could take 2 weeks.\n\n

This prodcut is superb!! Your absorb it quciker than normal creatine which gives u faster result, gives u so much enegry it basically does what it says despite of it's taste but Hey! For everyone who wants a bigger leaner body I suggest you to take CEE and flavoured Impact Whey Protein mix them together and lets see if u don't see the effect within 3 weeks take it before and after workout, plus no more of the bad taste. This is better and cheaper than leading brand.

in response to the past 2 comments you do not need a loading phase on CEE as it practically absorbs into the body instantly with no need to take with carbs to get best results :)

Since taking CEE I have seen some really good gains, however, it tastes awful. I got the capping kit on here as it's cheaper then buying the tablets of CEE. They are quick and easy to put into capsules, and you don't get the fowl after taste.

Yes the taste isnt the best but you soon get used to it. However the performance is great, just started my second cycle and as after the first two days of taking it I was lifting 3-4 more reps of anything i was doing during the 2 weeks off. I also increase the weight im lifting every week from 1 kg-2.5kg on every thing from dumbbel curl to bench press. This product really does give you that extra edge.

I have been taking this for about 4 weeks now and it is superb! The effects are really starting to take affect with both size and the extra amount I can lift in the Gym.\n\nYes, it tastes absolutely shocking! The best way to overcome this though is to take it with 2g of the berry blast flavouring in a shot of water. Have another glass of water ready to neck after. Do it like that and I can ssure you the taste is absolutely fine. Very good value for money.

For those complaining of taste: use a fruit juice. Creatine absorbs best with fruit juice anyway, and it disguises the taste.\n\nTo answer a question below: Yes, 3g is enough. Though for your loading phase you want 12g a day for 5 days.\n\nConclusively, it is noticeably more powerful than Creapure, though only if you train hard enough in the first place!

Bought this to try after using creatine mono for a few months. Straight away my lean tissue felt fuller and my energy levels went up in the gym.\nThe only downside is that it tastes like crap, I spooned it into my post workout shake for the first time and nearly spewed it back up. I now take it in lemonade, it's just about bearable that way.

You won't understand how bad it tastes until you actually chug a mixer of the stuff. However, the taste soon subsides, and guessing if you're really that bothered you can buy some empty capsules. As for the results: I've started training again after a long lay off and it definitely helping with recovery and condition. DO IT!

This stuff tastes seriously bad. I imagine battery acid to be of a similar flavour. However it works amazingly well, great pump, extra reps and strength is improving.\n\nI have found a way to make it slightly more easy to drink:\n\nMix 3 grams with undiluted ribena or squash in a shot glass. You only need a small bit, but because of the amount of sugar concentrated in the syrup. The sugar masks the taste quite a bit and makes it more bareable. \n\nSlam it down and then follow with a chaser of squash or water.\n\nVoila!

I've been using this stuff for a while, and I have to say it's one of the worst things I've ever tasted. Mixed it into a big shake - epic fail. I've found the best way to take this is to mix a scoop in a shot glass with water, stir with a cocktail stick until fully dissolved, then knock it back in one, followed by a generous chaser of water/juice. \n\nOn performance, I can feel a difference, but I'm not convinced it's better than mono...although much more convenient.

It tastes rank, but I'm not drinking it for its taste. I've read that you can also take CEE after a workout as well as before, although I'm not sure if there are going to be any benefits to doing that. It's the first time I've taken it, and I've only just started training recently, but you can't taste it at all if you put some in a whey protein shake... I hope the benefits are worth the taste though - I've never tasted anything so bitter! 4 stars cos I don't know if it works yet...

As everybody will know, with water, this is hell.\n\nI saw in the reviews that juice helps, but to be honest, I didn't want to spend that much on juice, seeing as I'd be supplementing with this every day for 1kg worth! So, I used a tiny bit of orange squash and water and it really helped, to the point where it tasted just a bit like drinking orange after brushing your teeth - definitely tolerable.\n\nI can't comment on the results yet, but look forward to them!
