Universal’s Creatine loads your muscles with pure power. Creatine serves as a high-energy bond in muscle and nerve tissues for maintenance of ATP levels during muscular contraction. Studies report that the increase of Creatine levels will help delay the onset of fatigue, increase energy metabolism in the cells, and enhance the body’s overall training capability. The power provided by Creatine is unmatched in its ability to help your muscles work harder and longer–including buffering lactic acid build-up during training. Each daily serving provides 5000 milligrams of creatine, suspended in its purest state for maximum absorption and bio-availability.

5 Stars Great!
So far so good - I like how the creatine powder doesn’t clump up in the spoon or in the container like some starches/powders do. I agree with the previous reviewer - it’s also quite easy to mix in water!

5 Stars Inexpensive, Very High-Quality Creatine
This product uses CreaPure creatine as its raw material, a branded raw material manufactured by Degussa AG Trostberg (formerly SKW) in Germany and licensed as a pharmaceutical would be there. Universal is one of only a few brands in North America that use only CreaPure raw material, and like Optimum Nutrition Creatine Powder 600G, Unflavored, (Optimum), (1.32 -pounds) Bottle is an exceptionally good value for this expensive raw material in a supplement market dominated by cheap Chinese and other amateur manufacturers. I began looking into the question of creatine purity after having bought some creatine from a company that I generally consider to be quite reputable and from whom I often buy commodity-item supplements, and was disturbed by its very bitter and (surprisingly) soapy taste. The company insisted that the lot number was fine, but my subsequent research suggests it was not. The important issues are nicely laid out in two very good articles by Will Brink and readily available on the internet: “What’s in your Creatine?” and “What’s Really in Your Supplements? - An Update on Creatine”. I proceeded to order some CreaPure-sourced creatine and was surprised that, for the very first time, the stuff had absolutely no bitter taste to it: the suspicious supplement had been the only one with the weird soapy taste, but *every* other creatine I had purchased had a mild bitterness to it, which I’d just assumed to be intrinsic to creatine itself, rather than a sign of impurity. Subsequently, I’ve bought several of the few products that use exclusively CreaPure, and found them to be similarly free of these widespread off-flavors. There is still no proof that the common creatine contaminants responsible for these flavors (dicyandiamide or dihydrotriazine) are harmful — but why anyone (let alone a life extensionist!) would knowingly put high (relative to likely dietary intakes) levels of organoleptically-detectable impurities of unknown toxicity into hir body is beyond me, especially with a CreaPure product as inexpensive as this one available.

4 Stars Works well and at a good price.
So far it’s worked well for me. During the first cycle I’ve seen a bench increase from around 240 up to 265. Granted I did go from using a standard barbell (1″) to an olympic set-up which seems to be better balanced. My one complaint is that the powder tends to head straight for the bottom of the glass or container that it’s put in. It seems best to use a small amount of water or juice to down the powder and then follow-up with any additonal water or juice as you so chose.

4 Stars Good Value
this creatine was well worth the price. I really like to micronized, it is so much easier to mix. I couldn’t find this creatine cheaper anywhere else, either locally or on the intranet. I will buy supplements from Amazon again!

4 Stars Pretty good results
I think the directions are a little off on this product as it suggests 5g/day for an adult, but this can produce some mild cramping. 2.5g is more than enough for an average bodybuilder and it has been suggested by professionals that 1g/100 lb bodyweight is what the body can absorb and utilize.

Dietary supplement. Anabolic/anti-catabolic bio-efficient glutamine. Sustained release micro-feed technology. Fast & continual release profile for increased muscle growth, strength, cell volumization, protein synthesis, recovery & energy. Glutamine-SR’s micro-feed technology allows for an unprecedented 100% of L-Glutamine utilization, maximizes anabolic/anti-catabolic effects and optimizes muscle growth and recovery. Research on leading brand supplemental L-Glutamine powder has shown that the stomach utilizes 70% of the amount ingested, leaving only 30% available for delivery to muscle tissue. The exclusive and patented micro-feed technology also increases bio-availability and utilization of L-Glutamine by providing a controlled, steady supply for 12 straight hours. Glutamine-SR’s 12 Hour Sustained Release Micro-Feed Technology has raised the standards in the glutamine supplementation, making Glutamine-SR the most bio-efficient and powerful glutamine supplement in the world. (Regular glutamine delivers only 30% of the amount consumed and supplies muscle tissue for only 2 hours.) These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.

AMERICA’S FAVORITE PROTEIN DRINK!
When MUSCLE MILK was first introduced, CytoSport scientists attempted to emulate one of nature’s most anabolic, complete, and balanced foods: human mother’s milk. MUSCLE MILK broke the mold, creating a new category of protein supplements while setting a new standard for both taste and performance. As a result, muscle milk has become America’s favorite protein drink.
But the science of human metabolism is never static; our understanding of its complexity is expanding everyday. Recently the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) published a report that updated America’s Nutritional goals. Cytosport scientists have evaluated the report and have updated MUSCLE MILK to keep pace with these new developments.
No matter what you ultimate goal may be building muscle mass or sculpting a toned, muscular physique-controlling caloric intake and specific physical activity go hand-in-hand with managing your total weight. When it comes to defining weight control, calories do count. Most Americans need to reduce the number of calories they consume. Since lipids or fats contain approximately twice the caloric energy carbs, minimizing the total fat content in MUSCLE MILK-while maintaining the overall fat-burning benefits of LEANLIPIDS-helps to accomplish this goal.

5 Stars Good Stuff
Good stuff. IT is definitely helping me gain weight with regular gym visits. I prefer to use it with milk so I can cut the amount of powder I use by 1/4 to save money but still get the same amount of protein. I like the chocolate flavor, but made the mistake of buying the chocolate peanut butter one this last time. It is GROSS! I think I will stick to chocolate for now.

2 Stars Levels of Lead, Arsenic, Mercury & Cadmium are a concern
Muscle Milk has been one of my favorites, but some of the levels of heavy metals concerning. Consumer Reports July 2010 issue reported that Muscle Milk exceeded the USP levels of cadmium and lead, and also had arsenic and mercury. I will most likely choose another from now on.

1 Stars Stop - dont buy this. Very high in LEAD and Cadmium!
The July 2010 Consumer Reports found high levels of Lead and Cadmium in this. This is near poisonous! Stay the heck away from this unless you want to poison your self.

5 Stars Best so far
I’ve tried probably a dozen kinds of protein powders. I found that this product has the absolute best taste so far (I like chocolate in skim milk) for the price, especially on Amazon. I ordinarily take the recommended serving right after I workout in the evening and have had some success gaining lean muscle in the two months I’ve been using it. Overall good quality nutrition and taste for price. Others have mentioned difficulty getting it to mix well. I use a magic bullet, so it only takes a second. I have one of those shaker bottles (with the spherical mixer ball inside) that makes quick work of it too.

5 Stars Great product all around
This stuff works, and it tastes good! Most other products similar to this that I have used in the past always had a weird taste, this stuff is really good tho! I use this for lunch at work since I do a lot of heavy lifting. I have seen fat disappear and muscle show up where it was. Cant really say anything better than that about it….
