MuscleTech has a brand-new creatine product called CreacTor. We decided to take a closer look.
What’s Inside Creactor?
MuscleTech Creactor provides a 1:1 ratio of 750 mg free-acid creatine and 750 mg creatine HCL.
Creatine is used to enhance ATP regeneration for improved energy output during resistance training. According to some medical professionals, a 3 g dose consistently supplemented over a 28-day period. [1]
To get this amount, you’d need to take 2 scoops of Creactor daily. Doing so, you should notice increased recovery in between sets, allowing you to workout better.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Creatine side effects are generally minimal and short-term. Some people may experience bloating and stomach discomfort when supplementing with creatine. However, MuscleTech indicates that due to Creactor’s creatine ingredients, you won’t experience stomach bloating. Whether or not this will be true for everyone, we’re not sure.
How Much Does It Cost?
MuslceTech is a popular company, so Creactor is available from a wide variety of retailers. Here are the best deals I could find online:

How to Optimize Use
As a creatine, Creactor can be taken really at any time of the day. Some trainers take creatine first thing in the morning, regardless of whether it is a training or non-training day, while some supplement with creatine immediately post-workout.
The key factor is that you stay consistent with creatine supplementation. As noted above, 3 g of creatine for 28 days is a studied supplemental regimen.
What Flavors Are Available?
Creactor is available in both unflavored and Lemon Lime Twist flavor.
The Verdict
Overall, we like Creactor. The flavor makes it ideal for users tired of plain monohydrate, and the price isn’t bad for an advanced creatine supplement.
