This company is legitimately goated. Never change guys please your affordable products is the reason you so successful

[garym]

Me and my granny doing lines of creatine when im over visiting has really improved her cognitive function, would recommend

[Elliebes]

Such a clear explanation of creatine, I’m a Granny struggling with Granny problems lack of energy, lack of strength, and have always wondered about this powder. I’m definitely using it after this video.

[shakirmohdnoor]

6 minutes is not enough to hear the explaination from this man!

[Salosfn]

the video title should have been "show your parents this if you want creatine"

[supermannnblablabla]

And this was the moment I became addicted to the white powder ❄️ Thanks man 🙏

[sunnytlvar]

You seriously create the best videos. No extra nonsense, just science, and the facts. What, Why, When, and How...All the information is exactly what I needed to know. Since your videos are so well done with no tone of desperation to gain followers, I have even more trust in your products.

[ammosingh]

I took creatine and it showed benefits but never really researched what it did just that it worked somehow😅 so this was really educational

[Turboy]

After starting creatine, in just a couple of days I saw a huge increase in how long I could work out. I didn't add more reps to my sets, I added more SETS to my workout. My 5x5 bench press jumped to 8x5 in a matter of days.

[connorjensen]

Bro you just convinced me to take it in 6 min, after my friends have been trying for years. Well done

[ThePunisherpXxbox]

Great video! A lot of videos on creatine aren’t as simple to understand. This is great and well spoken information

[christopherruthart]

Thank you for this. I started taking a creative supplement because I’m at that point in my workouts and my body where I can start gaining strength. Ive only been taking it for two days now, loading for the first five days, and I can already tell a difference in myself. This is insane. I’ve never been like this before.

[adelnadheer]

need more advice on improving working memory, feels like something neurologist never check out when i see them
thank you. very informative

[NatureboyMukesh]

What I like apart from his knowledge departing is, in his videos there isn't any ads, and you keep connected through out the session...great job bro...keep up the good work..our support is always with you❤

[jeepGladheateher]

The emphasis on every word that has a "wh" at the beginning is OUTSTANDING!

[iggymach]

First time ever I watch this fella, and I love him already Lol.

[shaquilleable]

Great explanation, I felt I was missing this in my program.... I'm already benching 225lba 3 reps with all 45lbs... Before creatine I could barley do one rep lol

[fxviridis]

This was so helpful because I hate getting answers like "it makes you have more energy" when I was literally looking for the chemistry behind it

[PUREPARKOUR]

Fantastic video! Love the evidenced based approach. Would really appreciate references to studies for completeness! Keep it up!

[----sssxxxddd----]

I've been taking creatine for a while now, and I've been wondering why I can pump out more workouts than ever before. I just recover so quickly
