Optimum Nutrition Micronized Creatine Monohydrate Capsules, Keto Friendly, 2500mg, 200 Capsules (Packaging May Vary)

So much easier than powder but basically twice the cost

I love these pills. They're pretty large but easier to swallow than their counterpart, the powder. However, be wary that although there are 200 capsules, each serving is 2 capsules. So, there are only 100 servings. This seems like the same as the powder, but the serving size is 2.5 grams while the powder's (and generally recommended serving size) is 5 grams. Because of this, there are only truly 50 servings in each container, which is around twice the cost as the powder

Misleading Advertising on Number of Servings

The packaging shown online implies each capsule is 2.5 g and 200 capsules, so if taking 2.5 g a day, the 200 capsules would last 200 days. In reality, each capsule is only 1.25 g, but still only 200 capsules, so a 200 capsule pack would only last half as long for the same dosage. "CONVENIENT CAPSULES â€" 2-cap serving size makes taking creatine quick and easy without the need to mix a powder into a liquid" While they have the above in their listing and never explicitly say a capsule is 2.5g, pretty much everything else screams that a capsule is 2.5g - it's not

Be sure to read before you buy.

I have been taking this for a while now, and when I decided to finally write my own review on it I came across a few other stating that the labels were misleading. Under further investigation, I found this to be true. The entire time I was taking these I believed 2 capsules to be the recommended serving size of 5 grams of creatine... False. 2 capsules is only 2.5 grams making each one a whopping 1.25 grams of creatine. Meaning, you would need to take 4 in order to get the recommended serving size. I am not going to give this product 1 star because it was my own fault for not reading. With that said, I would recommend using another product or even Optimum's non-capsuled creatine because you can get a full 5 grams of creatine. I will warn you though, Optimum Nutrition does NOT provide a scoop with their powdered creatine. You just have to get creative. Still, a better value though, if you choose to go that route

Huge pills and bursts in my throat

These are hard to swallow. Also I hate it when they burst in my throat and I cough up the powder, which burns my throat and has a horrible taste. Stick to powder form and mix it in your drink

This feels like a scam.

Each serving is 2 capsules and each serving is 2.5 grams. If you want 5 grams you have to take 4 capsules. Plus if your doing a loading phase you need to take 20 grams of creatine, so therefore you need to take 16 capsules. Loading phases last anywhere between 5-7 days, so therefore your going through 80-112 capsules in a week. I highly go against buying this product since there are by far better and more cost efficient creatine products out there

Noticeable gains, but watch for GI issues

I did notice better performance after taking this for a while, but I also noticed GI issues. Creatine is known to cause digestive issues at higher doses- but the written dosage on the bottle should be fine for most. I have a sensitive stomach so the fault is probably on my end, which kind of sucks. Would recommend for most other people though

My favorite creatine

This is my favorite creatine to take. I prefer to take creatine pills far more than the powders. Creatine powder is not soluble in water so it is very unpleasant to drink. It is much easier to take in a pill form as these are. This is a reliable creatine monohydrate I take daily. The pills are quite large but that is to be expected from creatine monohydrate pills. If you are comfortable with swallowing large pills then I highly recommend taking this creatine

Extremely misleading labeling. Each capsule is 1. 25g …

Extremely misleading labeling. Each capsule is 1.25g, not 2.5g. The labeling on the front, as well as the name of the product on Amazon clearly imply that you get 200x2.5g, not 200x1.25g

Creatine definately works!

OK so at first I tried to take Micronized Creatine Powder and couldnt stand the grittyness of it. It didnt really have a taste to it but you knew it was in your water because it was like drinking sand mixed in water. These pills resolve that issue. You can just take a pill and get the same effects but not have to worry about any taste or gritty texture. One thing to note. I bought the powder, and it mixes into water so easily. It just disapears. I opened up one of the pills from the capsles and poored the powder into water and it wouldnt mix at all
