We’ve long promoted creatine as a non-negotiable staple in any supplement routine. As one of the most extensively studied performance-enhancing compounds, it’s a no-brainer for increasing muscle size, strength, power output, and even cognitive function [R, R, R, R].

While creatine monohydrate works exceptionally well for most individuals, some experience bloating, water retention, or GI discomfort [R]. That’s where creatine HCl shines. It’s a highly soluble, stomach-friendly alternative that delivers the same benefits without the digestive drawbacks, and we’ve made it the most affordable on the market per gram compared to leading competitors. 

WHY IS HCl MORE GI-FRIENDLY?

There are several reasons why creatine monohydrate can cause stomach discomfort, which primarily stem from its solubility and absorption [R, R].

Due to its low solubility and incomplete absorption in some individuals, creatine monohydrate may remain in the stomach for a longer period, drawing water into the area and contributing to bloating or discomfort [R]. In individuals with naturally low stomach acid levels, this problem can be exacerbated because creatine monohydrate requires a strong acidic environment to break down properly. Without enough acidity, it may not fully dissolve, which can lead to more bloating, water retention, or digestive upset [R].

Creatine HCl is at least 38 times more water soluble than monohydrate and is more acidic, allowing it to dissolve more readily in the stomach’s acidic environment [R, R].

ADDED DIGESTIBILITY

To support overall digestive comfort, we included Pepsin, a naturally occurring digestive enzyme found in the stomach.

To optimize absorption and improve taste, mix it with Gorilla Hydration. The added electrolytes help shuttle creatine into muscle cells more efficiently while also enhancing the flavor of HCl, which isn’t as tasteless as monohydrate [R].

BOTTOM LINE

While most people tolerate creatine monohydrate well, we wanted to provide an effective alternative for those who experience digestive distress from it. 

The difference for many of those individuals who make the switch to HCl is night and day. 

SUGGESTED USE 

To make daily use simple, we designed our scoop size for practical and precise dosing. Each scoop provides exactly 2.5 grams. This allows users to easily achieve the full 5-gram saturation dose targeted by the vast majority of individuals with just two scoops. This transparent protocol eliminates the guesswork and inconvenience often associated with products that utilize unconventional serving increments.

Higher doses may be beneficial for people with high amounts of muscle mass, high activity levels, or those who are non-responders to the 1 to 2 serving dose. As one of the most studied and effective performance-enhancing supplements, it is essential to take creatine daily at a full saturation dose to ensure your muscles maintain optimal creatine levels.
