Creatine is one of the most sought after muscle-building compounds by athletes and individuals who live highly-active lives.

Over the years, hours and hours of research have shown that it can not only fuel muscle cells, but enhance ATP re-synthesis as well. In other words, creatine not only helps to build muscle strength and bulk, but it gives users the energy they need to train hard as well.

As such, plenty of manufacturers have taken advantage of creatine by producing creatine-based supplements. Needless to say, many of these products sell very well.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that they are all created equally. You get some that are great, some that are okay and some that are just a plain waste of money.

In this review, we’re going to try and determine which of these three categories the product, Creatine Decanate falls under.

Is it good, okay, or plain bad?

Its Design

Right off the bat, we realized that there were a few things different about Creatine Decanate.

First of all, it only contains three ingredients in its proprietary blend. Now, a simple blend doesn’t always mean that a supplement is inadequate.

Remember, its always about quality over quantity. But then again, its hard to tell the quality of a proprietary blend because exact dosage levels of ingredients are never given.

That said, even if we can’t figure out exact dosage levels, we can determine the quality of the ingredients found in Creatine Decanate.

The Ingredients

They include, creatine monohydrate, deconate and polyethylene glycol.

As for the creatine monohydrate found in this supplement, its actually found in a micronized-form. In other words, its been broken down into smaller pieces to absorption and digestion easier and quicker.

An obvious perk if we may so so ourselves.

Now then, that leaves us with the remaining two compounds. Both polyethylene glycol and deconate are quite similar in nature and purpose.

Both are naturally produced in the intestinal tract, and both act as absorption enhancers. In layman terms, they help the body to more efficiently absorb nutrients such as amino acids, proteins and creatine.

As you can tell, Creatine Decanate has two means of enhancing its absorption time – which is something many of its counterparts can’t claim.

Taste and Cost

Moving on, we should quickly mention the price tag attached to this product and its taste rating.

As for its taste, well, Creatine Decanate has no taste – its flavorless. As such, it gets a big fat “NA” for its taste rating. Along those lines, users of this supplement should remember to mix it with something that DOES have taste, such as juice or milk.

But what Creatine Decanate lacks in taste, it makes up for in cost. At retail price, this product only costs $19.99! Online, you can even find a better deal…just $11.95 for an entire tub that contains 60 servings (1-2 month supply).

That said, you’re not going to find a cheaper creatine-based supplement on the shelves than Creatine Decanate.

Verdict

In closing, Creatine Decanate is an “okay” option to consider. It obviously has some shortcomings, but counters those with some positives as well.

So if you’re on a tight budget and don’t have a whole lot to spend, then this supplement may be the route you should take.

But if you’re looking to aim higher and searching for the best the market has to offer in terms of creatine-based products, then we’d suggest looking elsewhere.
