Micronized Creatine (Higher Power)

Micronized creatine sets a new standard for creatine monohydrate supplementation by actually producing creatine micro-particles that are 20 times smaller than regular creatine powder. This process adds a small amount to the cost of the creatine that you buy, but it is well worth it!

Here are some of the benefits to micronized creatine:

Faster Absorption
Micronized creatine's smaller particle size means quicker digestion and faster utilization.

More Efficient
20 times more total surface area for greater uptake into the bloodstream.

Greater Purity
Micronizing creatine produces a more pure creatine. By increasing the total processing steps and purification procedures, Micronized creatine yields a finished product substantially more pure.

Mixes Easier and Better
Micronized creatine has 20 times more surface area. Greater service area means easier, faster and more complete mixing.

No Stomach Upset
Regular creatine monohydrate sits in the gut longer. This causes discomfort to many users. Micronized creatine goes into solution better and leaves the gut quicker causing no stomach upset.

Better Results
Micronized creatine offers 2000% more particle surface area for better utilization, better uptake, and faster results.

Higher Power is the in-house brand of the popular forums and website of bodybuilding.com
Their creatine monohydrate is just like any other creatine, only at the best price you are going to find. For only $20, you get 200 servings! Thats $0.02 per serving! I do not think it is possible to find a cheaper product that brings the same quality and reputation to the game.
What else seperate their creatine from the competition? It's micronized creatine monohydrate. Basically meaning it is a finer powder, this leads to better absorption and better results.
People are always going into fancy creatines, and though for some they do bring better results, most people will receive the best possible results from basic monohydrate, and since it is cheaper, it is probably the best way to go. Higher Power/BB.com is a very reputable company and very cheap, so if you need creatine, never hesitate to buy monohydrate from them.

Higher Power Micronized Creatine Monohydrate is such a wonderful product. This product is a basic creatine product but it gets the job done. To start taking the product you start on a load phase. For the load phase you take 10-15 grams of creatine for the first week. Then the next phase is maintence phase. For this phase you take 5 grams of creatine daily for a total of up to two months. After that you rest off for about a week or two and then you start again back from the Loading phase. I have been using this product for quite sometime now and I never looked back. I save my money by sticking to this product instead of using a complex product like Size-on. I also gained great strength and size due to water weight. The price for this product is unbeatable and Higher power is definatley a reputable company. Get this product if you are a serious lifter and are looking for great gains!!

Great gains, I have tried several products by Higher Power and have never been let down at all. The pumps for the reasonable amount of money that you pay are tremendous. I ran the full tub while working out. I worked out 5 times a week split body workouts. I would take this supplement as a pre-workout, usually 30-40 minutes prior to my workout. I am a hard gainer and this product worked for me. I have tried several other supplements and this is one of the top supplements in aiding to my weight gains. While taking this product I recommend heavy water intake and also a general protein shake post workout to receive the most gains possible within one complete cycle. A little about cost, you will not be able to find another creatine this cheap that is this effective. Thank you Higher Power for great pumps and gains. Highly Suggested to all you hard gainers out there.

THE GREATEST PRODUCT I HAVE EVER TRIED. I have never tried anything so simple and effective. This product is really great I bought it from vitamin shoppe for 25 dollars for one thousand grams. I take 5g daily. I also drink one to two gallons of water while on creatine. Since starting I have noticed that my weight and strength have gone up noticeably. I have also notice that I feel much fuller and that my face looks much more full and swole. The product has helped me pass my plateau and it is a staple in my diet along with protein, fish oil, creatine and animal pak.
Strict recommendations:
Don't take more than 5g daily
Make sure to drink more than one gallon of water daily
Load it when first starting
You can cycle off of creatine for one month then continue on it again.
Have fun with creatine and see results!

Higher Power Creatine is probably one of, if not the, most cost effective creatine available. It is incredibly high quality micronized creatine, that I believe is from Germany, and you simply can't beat the value you're getting.

After only a week of taking it, I started to notice that I just felt a little fuller, and with in two weeks my lifts were definitely improving much faster than they had been before.

I did notice some side effects, however. I made sure I had at least 1.25 gallons of water everyday, which for my size I believe is enough. But I still experienced muscle cramps if I stretched out any of my muscles too quickly after they had been cold or in a shortened position for a long time. The cramp would subside almost immediately, but it was just an annoyance. Even after upping my intake of water for a few days, I still noticed it was there, so I dropped my water intake back down because other wise it was just too annoying haveing to go to the bathroom that much.
