After buying pre-workout supplements that cost at least a dollar per serving, I started thinking about what I really wanted out of a pre-workout. Caffeine was an obvious choice. I wanted to bring creatine back in the mix, and even though it’s not your common pre-workout ingredient, I thought I could just throw it in. My friend had given me some Beta Alanine in the past, so I thought “what the heck” and threw that in the mix too. I was looking around Amazon for a retailer that could help me make my own mix, and then found bulk supplements. Here was a company that could offer me the basic ingredients I wanted at a great price and what appears to be excellent quality. I’ll go through my impression so far of their pure caffeine anhydrous, pure micronized creatine, and pure beta alanine.CaffeineI wasn’t really worried about the caffeine working. I knew what I was getting into here, since it is caffeine anhydrous, which is common in almost every pre-workout. I want to give a word of caution with the Caffeine powder. Caffeine can kill you in great enough quantities, so don’t mess around with this stuff. At the very least, by the fractional teaspoon set to follow Bulk Supplements’ serving recommendation. You really should weigh this stuff out. Bulk Supplements’ pure caffeine anhydrous powder mixes easy, works right, and if you’re smart about using it saves you a ton of money. I bought the 100g package, and with my planned usage I have 500 servings of caffeine. You can’t beat that.CreatineEvery time I used creatine in the past it was creatine monohydrate. it was that gritty stuff that never quite mixed in to the liquid all of the way. I actually used to just take a serving of the powder dry and wash it down with a drink, that’s how hard it was to mix the stuff. Bulk Supplements’ micronized creatine mixes incredibly easy. I can put it in cold juice and give it a whirl with a spoon it is so easy to mix. My benchmark for seeing whether or not creatine was doing its job was to see how much water I am retaining. I don’t have a scientific way to do this, but after taking this creatine for about a week I have noticed 1-2 pound increase in body weight without any significant dietary changes. This tells me that I am retaining more water than normal, so I think the creatine is doing something. I never got stomach cramps from creatine in the first place, but Bulk Supplements’ creatine has not given me any problems either. Again, this is an excellent product at a fantastic price.Beta AlanineMy only reservations about getting the Beta Alanine from Bulk Supplements was whether or not I was going to see a good effect from it. If you look around at Beta Alanine products, I am sure you with come across the Carnosyn brand name. I read about this a little bit, but I thought I would give the Bulk Supplements Beta Alanine a try. The common response to beta alanine is to feel a slight tingling sensation. I started with the recommended serving (sparse 1/8th tsp) but found that I needed to go at least with a heaping 1/8th tsp to feel something. I weigh about 230, so I probably needed the slightly increased serving. I feel safe about increasing the serving since the product’s package indicates that it is safe to take the recommended serving up to three times a day (I only take it once). So far so good with Bulk Supplements’ Pure Beta Alanine. After finding the right serving for me, I am satisfied with the quality of the product. This is a great deal that I feel is just as effective as more expensive Beta Alanine supplements.Overall, Bulk Supplements offers quality products at outstanding prices. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

Yep, you get exactly what's on the outside of the package. This stuff has no flavor and can be swallowed with any liquid you prefer, from coffee to Coke to fruit juice (I down mine with lemonade). It almost completely dissolves and leaves very little grittiness behind, and practically none still in the bottom of the glass when you've emptied it. Having said that, mine is occasionally a bit gritty but that's because neither the (lack of) flavor nor the texture bother me at all, and I usually only give the mixture a quick stir and then guzzle it down. If I were to give it say another fifteen or twenty seconds of stirring, then yes, the stuff almost completely dissolves.And of all the supplements you can spend your money on, including bogus junk like amino-acid concoctions and energy drinks and super-duper high tech protein mixtures, there's only one supplement absolutely proven in multiple tests and clinical trials to both increase muscle size, and with it both strength and endurance. The ONLY one. If you haven't tried it, and you do any kind of intense exercise, you have a real surprise waiting for you.One warning though, don't over-do the creatine at first. Explanation: creatine is a completely safe food additive, and it's also one of the most important elements in energy metabolism and cellular respiration. Accordingly, when you ingest creatine monohydrate, the body reacts by storing it in the places where it's actually going to get used: the muscle tissue. For every gram of creatine the body stores, it also must store three grams of water. This has the effect of markedly increasing the girth (cross-sectional area) of the muscle.If that sounds like a purely cosmetic gimmick, well wrong. I will not go into the biomechanics of how this works, but when you increase the cross-sectional area of a muscle, even if you haven't actually increased the amount of muscle tissue, it gives the muscle a biomechanical strength advantage. Meaning, if you take two identical muscles, with the same number of muscle fibers and mass, and you then make one of them increase in girth by pumping creatine and water into it, the swollen muscle will be able to do more work and move more weight than the normal one. So yes, it increases muscle size, and if you use enough creatine it will do it quite fast and will surprise you. Makes muscles look great. But they also become quite literally stronger. They can do more work, generate more power than they could before the creatine. Which means you add actual muscle tissue faster while using creatine. And since creatine is heavily utilized in energy metabolism you also get a boost in anaerobic AND aerobic endurance.So what's the warning I spoke of above? The first time I used creatine, almost thirty years ago, I was already pretty muscular as I used to compete in bodybuilding. So I read the instructions on the creatine bottle, said "yeah, right" and took triple the recommended amount of creatine. In less than a week my muscles had swollen so much that it actually made the skin around my elbows hurt a little when I bent my arm. So yeah, it is possible to overdo it. And understand that this is not bloat or anything like if you were retaining water from too much sodium and the like. Because the water and creatine are actually going inside the muscle, not just accumulating in the skin, if anything it actually enhances definition and also vascularity (veiny-ness) because it's the muscle itself which has increased in size.In short, if I were a couple of weeks out from spring break, and I had been too lazy to hit the gym as hard as I needed to to get ready for the beach, those two weeks I'd be hitting the creatine hard and whatever muscle I did have would be greatly enhanced. Like I said it works fast, in the matter of a few days. If you try this and don't get the effects I'm describing, then you simply aren't using a large enough dosage. The only real risk is you have to remember to keep yourself heavily hydrated (e.g. drink water, lots) because if you don't, the creatine can pull enough water out of your bloodstream and interstitial tissues to actually cause dehydration. It won't kill you, but it could be dangerous if you were exercising outside on a hot day. So, all you have to do is make sure you drink a lot of water and you're home free. Aside from that the stuff is as safe as eating a chicken wing. And because it has such a wide variety of positive effects, it's the one supplement that's almost universally used by endurance athletes, like those insane ones who do marathons and triathlons; by gymnasts and powerlifters who will put to use any increase in power they get from any source; to those primarily exercising for cosmetic reasons, meaning the bodybuilding meatheads you see at the gym. All of them get benefits from it. You will too.
