Best Creatine Fruit Punch
BPI Sports
Overview
This product features a 'Best Creatine Blend' which is a proprietary mix of several creatine forms, including monohydrate, anhydrous, MagnaPower, phosphate, AKG, and pH Buffered Creatine Alkaline, along with Betaine Anhydrous. While creatine monohydrate is highly effective and well-researched for enhancing performance, the efficacy of the other creatine forms in this blend is not consistently superior. The specific amounts of each creatine form are not disclosed within the 4g blend, making it impossible to ascertain if optimal doses of the most effective forms (like monohydrate) are provided. Betaine Anhydrous is included at a dose of 500mg, which is below the typically studied effective dose for performance benefits (4-6g/day), although it may still contribute to some cellular support.
The Good

The Bad

Betaine anhydrous is included at a sub-optimal dose (500mg) for typical ergogenic benefits (4-6g).
Contains artificial colors (FD&C Red No. 40) and artificial sweeteners (Sucralose, Acesulfame K), which some consumers prefer to avoid.
