Rookie Wellness

 Creatine Monohydrate

I received the Rookie Wellness Creatine Monohydrate as part of an educational promotion. I am a fitness addict and was so excited to test this. Overall, I think I already noticed good effects after a few days, and I look forward to seeing more as time goes on! It didn't taste good, but it's unflavored. So I can't knock a star off for that. I didn't have enough time to really see effects, but I think it was already making a subtle difference. I noticed that an old injury that comes back to bother me sometimes went away when I started taking this. Usually, a rest day is needed to calm it down, but it just went away on its own the day I started taking this. I got two extra days of it not bothering me before needing to rest. I didn't notice any improved endurance, but I know creatine is widely studied. I also didn't notice any cognitive benefits, but I hope those will be more visible after more time taking this. I didn't notice any bad side effects from taking it, so that's a win. The powder dissolved in water really well. I drank this plain in water before my workouts. This tasted really bad to me. It's unflavored, but I tasted a distinct fishy smell and flavor. I started mixing it with a tiny bit of water to be able to drink it quicker, and it had no problem dissolving. This is pretty rare with powder products, so I appreciated it. The package was easy to open and replace the lid. I especially appreciated this because the new paper containers for many similar products are so awkward and difficult to reuse. The package is really small. It says there are 30 servings in the package. I would be surprised if that's true since it came about half empty and it's already a small jar.

I have been using this creatine regularly, and I like how easy it is to add to my daily routine. The powder mixes well with water and is virtually tasteless, so it is also easy to add to other drinks. One thing that is especially important to me is that it feels comfortable on my digestive system. I haven't experienced any bloating or stomach discomfort after taking it. During my workouts, I feel like I have more strength and endurance, especially during strength exercises. Overall, I like this creatine because it is easy to take every day and my body tolerates it well. Received as a part of an educational promotion.

I have been taking creatine for about a year now. This is the first time I have tried the Rookie brand with creatine. The supplement dissolves rather quickly compared to other brands. It is super easy to take. I like it for muscle strength and muscle recovery. I usually mix it in with cold water. I like to take it before my workouts. It is unflavored but it does have a taste that I can't quite make up what it is. It is very subtle and doesn't bother me at all. I love that it is third party tested .

This product is great for the creatine content. I appreciate that it is unflavored and can easily be mixed with any drink. Creatine makes such a big difference in workout endurance and it is definitely a must for lean muscle mass development. However, the added dandelion and hibiscus feels unnecessary for this product. The herbs add more GI side effects and not much benefit that would make this supplement worth it compared to 100% creatine. I can see that for those without a sensitive GI system, the herbs can provide the benefit of less bloating. Overall a nice product but I do wish it did not contain any additives. This product was received as part of an educational promotion.

I really like how simple and easy it is to add to my day. Since it's unflavored, I can mix it into my usual pre-workout, protein shake, or even a drink without having to worry about an overpowering taste. It mixes easily and doesn't make my drinks unpleasant or overly sweet. I also appreciate that it's straightforward and doesn't add another strong flavor to everything I'm already drinking. For anyone looking to incorporate creatine into their fitness routine, I think this is a convenient option that's easy to use consistently. The unflavored formula is definitely my favorite part because it gives me flexibility with whatever I'm already having before or after my workouts.
