The reference serving is \u003cstrong\u003ethree capsules, i.e. 3,000 mg\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the \u003cstrong\u003e150-capsule bottle covers 50 servings\u003c\/strong\u003e. Made in Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreatine HCL is creatine combined with hydrochloric acid, which makes it far more soluble in water than the monohydrate form. That is the only genuinely established difference between the two: \u003cstrong\u003ethe active molecule is still creatine\u003c\/strong\u003e, and creatine alone is what European regulation recognises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rest of the composition comes down to four lines: a \u003cstrong\u003egelatine\u003c\/strong\u003e shell, microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium salts of fatty acids as an anti-caking agent, and three shell colourings. \u003cstrong\u003eAs the capsule is made of gelatine, the product is suitable for neither vegetarians nor vegans.\u003c\/strong\u003e The product joins our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/creatine-hcl\"\u003ecreatine HCL\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/sinob\"\u003eSinob\u003c\/a\u003e sections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does a three-capsule serving contain?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNutrient\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePer capsule\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePer 3-capsule serving\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCreatine HCL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,000 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3,000 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnergy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 kJ \/ 1 kcal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 kJ \/ 3 kcal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eless than 0.1 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eless than 0.3 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarbohydrate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProtein\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.1 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.3 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSalt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eless than 0.1 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eless than 0.3 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo NRV is established for creatine. Pack size: 150 capsules, i.e. 50 servings of three. The manufacturer declares no major allergen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree grams a day is precisely the threshold that unlocks the only claim authorised in Europe: \u003cstrong\u003ecreatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise\u003c\/strong\u003e. That wording targets repeated explosive effort — strength sets, sprints — and not endurance. It is the only statement we will use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe now need to deal honestly with what is said about the HCL form. Its \u003cstrong\u003egreater solubility in water is a chemical fact\u003c\/strong\u003e; on the other hand, \u003cstrong\u003ewe have no ANSES or EFSA source establishing that it produces a better result than a creatine monohydrate\u003c\/strong\u003e, nor that it avoids bloating, nor that it acts within fifteen minutes. Those assertions circulate about this type of product; they cannot be repeated, and the European claim covers creatine with no distinction of form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne clarification that weighs on the arithmetic: the word “HCL” refers to the whole salt, hydrochloric acid included. \u003cstrong\u003eThree grams of creatine HCL therefore do not quite supply three grams of creatine\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the manufacturer does not publish the pure creatine share. It is the same trap as with any amino acid salt, and it is better to know it before comparing two labels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow should you take Hydro Creat?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 capsules, i.e. 3,000 mg. \u003cstrong\u003eLiquid:\u003c\/strong\u003e a large glass of water. \u003cstrong\u003eTiming:\u003c\/strong\u003e 25 to 30 minutes before the session, preferably on an empty stomach. \u003cstrong\u003eFrequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e the manufacturer settles on training days only. \u003cstrong\u003eDuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e optional cycling of 8 to 12 weeks followed by 2 to 4 weeks off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere we have to depart from the label, and we do so with an explanation. \u003cstrong\u003eThe manufacturer recommends taking it on training days only; the European claim, for its part, assumes 3 g of creatine \u003cem\u003eper day\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e Creatine's effect rests on the gradual saturation of the muscle, which takes several weeks of regular intake. Taking it three or four times a week will not saturate the stores. \u003cstrong\u003eIf you want the benefit recognised by the regulations, take your three capsules every day, session or no session.\u003c\/strong\u003e The bottle will then last 50 days, not several months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer also advertises “effects felt within 15 minutes”. That is not how creatine works, as its action goes through the build-up of muscle stores over several weeks. We will not repeat that assertion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne instruction to follow, though: \u003cstrong\u003edrink at least 2 litres of water a day\u003c\/strong\u003e throughout the period of use. Creatine draws water into the muscle cell, and an insufficient fluid intake is the leading reported cause of discomfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo loading phase is necessary — that is correct, and it is equally true of creatine powder. The product combines without difficulty with a whey or with amino acids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho is this creatine for, and who is it not for?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits adults doing short, intense efforts, and particularly those who genuinely tolerated creatine monohydrate powder badly. The capsule format removes the gritty taste and travels easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer \u003cstrong\u003eadvises against it for pregnant and breastfeeding women\u003c\/strong\u003e as well as for the \u003cstrong\u003eunder-18s\u003c\/strong\u003e, and asks that it be kept out of reach of children under 3. If you are \u003cstrong\u003eon any medication\u003c\/strong\u003e, consult a healthcare professional before use. Store in a cool, dry place away from light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is suitable for \u003cstrong\u003eneither vegetarians nor vegans\u003c\/strong\u003e — the shell is made of gelatine — which is doubly unfortunate, as meat is the main dietary source of creatine. It also contains \u003cstrong\u003eazorubine (E122)\u003c\/strong\u003e as a shell colouring, which requires the regulatory statement: \u003cem\u003emay have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you should not expect from it: an immediate effect. \u003cstrong\u003eCreatine is not a stimulant\u003c\/strong\u003e and is not felt on the first serving, whatever its form. Nor is it a weight-loss product or an endurance supplement: the authorised claim targets very intense, short effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCreatine HCL or creatine monohydrate?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the only question that matters on this page, and we are going to answer it even though the answer does not push you to buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/creatine-1\"\u003eCreatine monohydrate\u003c\/a\u003e is by far the best-documented form, and the European claim applies to it in exactly the same way, at 3 g per day. It costs a fraction of the price per gram and is taken by the spoonful. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/creapure\"\u003eCreapure\u003c\/a\u003e section carries the products whose raw material is traceable. \u003cstrong\u003eIf you have never tried creatine, start there: it is the best value in the catalogue, across every category.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HCL form has two concrete advantages, and they are not negligible. The first is the \u003cstrong\u003ecapsule format\u003c\/strong\u003e: no taste, no scoop, an identical dose from one day to the next. The second concerns those who have \u003cem\u003egenuinely\u003c\/em\u003e felt digestive discomfort with monohydrate — it does happen, even if it is less common than is claimed — and for whom switching salt is worth a try.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/kre-alkalyn\"\u003eKre-Alkalyn creatine\u003c\/a\u003e falls under exactly the same logic: a variant offered as better tolerated, with no official validation of superiority. Between the three, choose on format and on your real tolerance, not on label arguments. For \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/prise-de-masse\"\u003emass gain\u003c\/a\u003e, creatine combines without difficulty with the rest of your supplements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould you take it on rest days?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, in our view, even though the manufacturer settles on training days only. The European claim assumes 3 g of creatine per day, and muscle saturation requires regular intake over several weeks. Taking it only around sessions will not fill the stores: that is the most common mistake with this supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs creatine HCL superior to monohydrate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is more soluble in water, which is a chemical fact. On the other hand, we have no ANSES or EFSA source establishing a better result, and the European claim covers creatine with no distinction of form. What genuinely changes here is the capsule format and the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does a bottle last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFifty servings of three capsules. If you follow the label and take it only on training days, that represents about three months at four sessions a week. Taken daily, which is what we advise, count on fifty days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo you feel anything from the very first serving?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The manufacturer advertises effects within fifteen minutes; that is not how creatine works, as its action rests on muscle stores built up over several weeks. Do not judge this product before a month of daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the capsules suitable for vegetarians?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, the shell is gelatine of animal origin. That is particularly a shame, as meat is the main dietary source of creatine and vegetarians therefore have the lowest intakes. A creatine powder is then the right choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs 3 g of creatine HCL the same as 3 g of creatine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, not exactly: the stated weight is that of the whole salt, hydrochloric acid included. The manufacturer does not publish the pure creatine share. It is the same trap as with all amino acid salts, and it is something to factor in when you compare two labels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould you take it on an empty stomach?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer advises it, 25 to 30 minutes before the session. In practice, timing is secondary with creatine: what matters is not forgetting it. Take your three capsules at whatever slot you will remember every day, including the days you do not train.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere can you buy Sinob Hydro Creat?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 150-capsule bottle can be ordered from this page, and we ship throughout France and Europe. It is a generous format: even taken daily, it covers more than seven weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the Vendargues shop, about ten minutes from Montpellier, this is the product in front of which we ask the simplest question in the range: have you already tried creatine powder, and did it really bother you? If the answer is no, monohydrate remains unbeatable. If it is yes, this capsule has every reason to be there.
