I purchase this item on a regular basis. Just getting around to writing a review now. Creatine HCL will always be more expensive than the monohydrate counterpart, but definitely worth it. The solubility is much better/faster with no grittiness like monohydrate. It will alter the taste of whatever you mix it into, but not necessarily in a bad way. It makes the drink more sour/tart, which if you mix it with a decent electrolyte, actually enhances the taste in my opinion.

Probably the best creatine I’ve ever used. Creatine monohydrate makes my stomach upset, that’s why I switched to this one and it does not upset my stomach at all! It mixes well with water, but it’s VERY sour. It does not have a smell to it but if you inhale it will cause some nose irritation for a second. Does not cause any side effects like jitters. I do think the size is very small for the price but creatine HCl is generally more expensive. Well worth it.

Tastes like lemons. DO NOT mix with your morning coffee like other creatine. Super salty. Definitely did not give me the bloat that monohydrate does.

Mixes well and this works better than any other creatine I've tried. Minus a star because flavor is a bit pungent and will over power anything you mix in with it like protein or pre.

Love this brand. Has a slight tangy taste but I don't mind. Its a good form of creatine. Helps with brain fog and find I am able to retain memory better than before I started it.

First thing you notice is its awful bile-like flavor. I guess that’s essentially what hydrochloric acid is. I could get past that... but it really does damage the enamel on your teeth. It gets worse… even while mixing a single dose into 16oz of water it completely burnt the lining of my throat. Avoid this product at all costs.

I’ve been using the Beyond Raw Chemistry Labs Creatine HCl and I’m really impressed so far. The powder is super fine, dissolves quickly, and doesn’t leave any gritty texture. I love that it’s lab-grade and gives 2 grams per serving, so I know exactly what I’m getting each time.I also notice that it’s really easy on the stomach compared to other creatine types I’ve tried no bloating or discomfort. I’ve been using it before my workouts and I definitely feel more strength and endurance. Also this is my 3rd bottle!

I am 54 years old and this creatine really seemed to work well for me. Some people complain about the bitter taste when consuming with water. I found that mixing it with orange juice is best. I can't taste the creatine when mixing it with a 1/2 cup of orange juice and then I drink water afterwards.
