Creatine A5X Unflavored Powder
iSatori
Overview
While the product contains well-researched ingredients like creatine monohydrate, the efficacy is hampered by the use of a proprietary blend for the 'Muscle|Strength|Power Creatine Complex'. The specific doses of individual creatine forms (Di-Creatine Malate, Creatine Monohydrate, Creatine-Magnesium Chelate, Creatine Anhydrous, and Creatine Aab) within the 3g complex are undisclosed, making it impossible to ascertain if they are at clinically effective levels. Betaine Anhydrous (likely below optimal dosing at 290mg, which is part of the 'Potentin Catalyst Matrix') and Agmatine Sulfate also lack transparent dosing. While the theoretical benefits of combining various creatines and other performance enhancers are plausible, the absence of specific dosages prevents a definitive assessment of their true effectiveness in this formulation.
The Good
Contains Creatine Monohydrate, a highly effective and well-researched ingredient for performance.
Includes Betaine Anhydrous, which supports muscle power, endurance, and hydration.
Agmatine Sulfate may offer benefits for blood flow and nutrient delivery.
The Bad
Proprietary blends (Muscle|Strength|Power Creatine Complex and Potentin Catalyst Matrix) hide individual ingredient dosages, preventing assessment of efficacy.
The total 3g creatine complex may be underdosed for optimal creatine saturation, which is typically 3-5g of creatine monohydrate per day.
Betaine Anhydrous and Agmatine Sulfate are part of a proprietary blend (Potentin Catalyst Matrix, 290mg), making it highly likely they are significantly underdosed (Betaine's typical effective dose is 4g+).
