For athletes aiming to enhance their high-intensity exercise performance and build lean body mass, creatine stands out as one of the most efficient and reliable nutritional supplements on the market today. For optimal performance and muscle recovery, individuals should consume 3-5 grams of creatine monohydrate per day. While the body can produce creatine, it is also found in small amounts in certain meats and fish, but supplementation is necessary to achieve the recommended dose. Athlean-Rx Creatine Monohydrate provides 5 grams of creatine monohydrate per serving, ensuring optimal levels for:
Take 1 serving (5.05g) daily on both training and non training days. Mix with 8-12oz of water, fruit juice or in your favorite protein shake.
When I set out to determine doses of ingredients, I looked to the scientific literature.
Specifically, I reviewed every well-designed, well-executed, peer-reviewed study I could find on the molecule and find the dose that confers the maximum benefits with the minimum side effects.
These doses are known as “clinically effective doses” because they are backed by scientific studies and demonstrated to produce the desired effects. Simply having an ingredient on the supplement facts panel doesn’t ensure that you’re getting enough of the ingredient to cause the desired effect.
All of our supplements are proudly produced in the US using the highest industry standards.
Creatine, a popular supplement often used to enhance athletic performance and increase muscle mass, generally has a good safety profile, but it can have some side effects, especially when taken in high doses. Common side effects of creatine monohydrate supplementation include water retention, muscle cramping and gastrointestinal distress, the latter is something buffered forms of creatine such as Creatine HCL and Kre-alkalyn can help to address. Short-term or long-term use of creatine supplementation has not been linked to any major side effects, and it is generally well-accepted by healthy individuals.
For most athletes 3-5 grams per day of creatine monohydrate is sufficient to maximize creatine concentrations. Individuals who are looking to maximize the effect of creatine in a short period of time may benefit from a loading phase. A loading phase includes consuming 5g 4 times per day for 5-7 days. After the 5-7 days, a maintenance dose of 3-5 g is sufficient to maintain creatine stores.
No, Your body will not develop a tolerance to creatine monohydrate, as it might with some other supplements. Creatine is a supplement that works by increasing the stores of phosphocreatine in your muscles, which is used for energy during high-intensity, short-duration exercises like lifting weights or sprinting. Your body doesn't build a tolerance to creatine in the sense that it would become less effective over time.
However, the effects of creatine supplementation can plateau. Once your muscle creatine stores are fully saturated, which usually happens after several weeks of supplementation, taking more creatine won't further increase these stores. At this point, you would maintain your creatine levels by taking a maintenance dose daily.
Creatine monohydrate is particularly effective for workouts that demand high-intensity, short-duration efforts. It excels in enhancing muscle strength, size, and recovery, making it particularly valuable for strength training, sprint/speed training, and high-intensity interval training (HIIT). This supplement is also advantageous for athletes in power sports like football and basketball, where it boosts ATP production, essential for explosive strength and power. Bodybuilders and weightlifters also benefit from creatine's ability to improve performance and assist in muscle recovery.
No, it's not necessary to take Athlean-RX Creatine Monohydrate if you're already using RX-1 XCITE Preworkout or PR-X Intraworkout. Our RX-1 XCITE Preworkout formula and our PR-X Intraworkour formula do contain a clinically effective dose of creatine in the form of Creatine HCL and Kre-alkalyn respectively. The clinically effective dose of buffered creatine is 2-5 grams so having that dose with your pre workout or intra workout on training days would be sufficient. Please note that 2-3 grams of these buffered forms of creatine is about the equivalent to 5g of Creatine Monohydrate.
In short, Taking Creatine Monohydrate would not be necessary on days you are taking RX-1 XCITE or PR-X as they already contain a clinically effective dose of Creatine. It is however something you could take on off days or days you don't take a pre or intra workout supplementation to ensure creatine stores are maintained.

I have just started to use creatine again. This time around it’s been a good experience and seeing rapid growth.
I love the product, after taking the recommended dose I find I have more energy to perform my strength training exercises.
Amazing product that I use everyday for the past 3 months and seeing the results.
I had not been taking creatine on rest days because the RX1 has caffeine and other energizing vitamins and supplements. I grabbed a jar of this when it made its debut, and have noticed a huge difference now that I have creatine on rest and recovery days. Great supplement without extra stuff to worry about! I drink it straight with water, and the only difference in my water is the grittiness from the salts… no flavor at all, which is fantastic
Easy to dilute, can’t really tell how much of a difference from others since I also take Jeffs pre and post work out products.
The results are impressive, once it starts to take effect, the changes are notable, the muscles respond very well. I started with a 30-day trial and already purchased the 90-day trial. It’s impressive, I recommend it 100%.
Worked great, didn’t aggravate my stomach at all
I’ve been working out for over 48 years, and went about it in a totally natural way. That finally stopped after years of getting TOP notch trainer input from Jeff. Hasn’t even been a month yet,or I haven’t even finished my 1st order of nutes, when I saw this advertised. So, I grabbed two(2) Creatine maybe a week an a half ago, it’s been incredible. YOU gotta try THIS!!!
This is a great drink for before and during workouts. Mixes easily and tastes good!
I can say that this product is 100% legit since taking it for a couple months I have already increased strength gains and just better performance in the gym bottom line this is a supplement you should be taking everyday including off days.
