There are no published studies on it, so it remains to be seen just how well it works. Creatine Taurinate: Creatine taurinate is a patented form of creatine combined with the amino acid taurine. Like alpha-lipoic acid, taurine acts as an antioxidant and can improve insulin sensitivity , so—in theory—taurine could be a useful adjunct.
On the other hand, there is no evidence that it actually has any effect on creatine uptake. As researcher Richard Kreider wrote :. Creatine Pyroglutamate: this is another patented form of creatine. Pyroglutamic acid is a cyclized derivative of the amino acid glutamine.
Although user reports are generally favorable, scientific evidence is limited to a few older animal studies and a single human study. Conceivably, creatine pyroglutamate could be an interesting supplement, with both physical and cognitive effects. Curcuma longa Powder: the botanical name for the common spice Turmeric.
Turmeric contains curcumin, which has both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Cinnamomum cassia Blume Extract: likewise, this is the botanical name for cinnamon, which has been shown to improve glucose tolerance.
Bambusa breviflora Extract: Bambusa breviflora is a type of bamboo, and bamboo extracts may have antioxidant and anti-tumor effects, but the evidence is scant, at this point. Promises of the best science and research are common with virtually every workout supplement on the market today, but clearly not every supplement can offer this.
MuscleTech Creakic Hardcore promises even more benefit than the original supplement, with twice the creatine and proven ingredients that help offer four times the lean muscle mass and over percent more creatine than other leading pills.
They also claim that their creatine is the most scientifically validated in existence, but can all of this be true? We decided to take a look. NOW at Bodybuilding. Creakic Hardcore was created using research from a number of leading universities and was tested on hardcore athletes.
The study showed that the product offered four times more lean mass gain than placebo, which is certainly worth noting. The product contains creatine monohydrate as well as a number of other creatines and creatine boosting ingredients, such as thiocitic acid. The company website is fairly informative, though descriptions of each ingredient are notably missing.
The product cannot be purchased from the website, but they do offer a list of stores that carry the product. I may even try Creakic in place of regular mono or CEE in my cut to see how it fares as the only creatine in my stack.
I credit Anator for the bulk of my gains as well as Des for his post nutrition timing and ratios. The taste of the Berry Blast was a little intense to begin with, but I soon became accustomed to it by adding a small scoop of Gatorade powder to the mix. I saw increases in recovery time, increased strength and a general feeling of increased energy, even after working out. Anator has become a staple for me. I may have benefited from trying each product one at a time before attempting a stack, but I believe the products lived up to the majority of their claims.
But that's all personal preference and experimentation, you know. I noticed a slight increase in strength, gains and recovery in the second half of the cycle. Measurements increased all over, and pure size was the end result.
I packed on a lot of solid mass that I can't wait to cut down with. Was the stack worth the money I paid for it? For me, I've never had gains like this on my old routines.
Will I stick with the stack? I may revisit the products from time to time, but I plan to cut next, then trial other products like X-Factor and NO Shotgun on my next bulk. Would I recommend the stack?
