Positive experiences
“taking 2g of creatine hcl (in addition to my morning workout dose) and I have slept insanely well”
“Micronized creatine makes me sick to my stomach and drains me but I’ve had a ton of luck with creatine bonded with HCL.”
“I drink the creatine HCl. Been on it for a month. Couldn't take the bloating, gas, and diarrhea effects of monohydrate.”
“I can’t even take 1g of mono hydrate without stomach pain. Even with food and lots of water. HCL is fine.”
“Try creatine HCL (only in capsules because it's very acidic). I find it gives the same benefits without the water retention”
Negative and mixed experiences
“While I do feel that creative helps with energy levels, it also tends to ruin my quality of sleep...”
“I have made the switch to Creatine HCl, which has helped with the bloating. However, after a week in, I have concluded it doesn't give me the mental and physical gains provided by monohydrate.”
“as soon as I started taking creatine HCl I began to experience countless indicators that DHT was going up. This includes increased focus, energy, mood, and libido.”
“I take hcl and have noticed great effect quickly...I have 0 bloating issues”
“HCL isn’t needed. Expensive for no real benefit... I can't do monohydrate. It wrecks my stomach even at small dosages. I have zero issues with HCL.”
“At least 3 times since I've started taking it, I've discovered a completely intact pill in my stool.”
