Creatine + HMB

Thentic's Creatine Monohydrate + HMB features 5,000 mg of pure creatine monohydrate plus 3,000mg of HMB. Creatine Monohydrate remains the gold standard of creatine supplements, with hundreds of studies proving its effectiveness in athletes, fitness enthusiast, and gym-goers alike. Our Creatine + HMB mixes easily in virtually any liquid and can be stacked with your favorite powder supplements, such as pre-workout, BCAAs and electrolytes.

At present, creatine monohydrate is the most extensively studied and clinically effective form of creatine for use in nutritional supplements in terms of muscle uptake and ability to increase high-intensity exercise capacity. However, when creatine monohydrate is used in combination with HMB together, they have been shown to increase endurance, enhance strength, reduce fat mass, and even prevent loss of lean muscle.

As a dietary supplement mix 1 scoop (8g) into 16 ounces of water or favorite beverage and drink within 15 minutes. Consume 30-90 minutes before or after training. 

Creatine Monohydrate (5g)

At present, creatine monohydrate is the most extensively studied and clinically effective form of creatine for use in nutritional supplements in terms of muscle uptake and ability to increase high-intensity exercise capacity. Creatine monohydrate is the most effective ergogenic (intended to enhance physical performance, stamina, or recovery.) nutritional supplement currently available to athletes in terms of increasing high-intensity exercise capacity and lean body mass during training.

HMB (3g)

HMB is a substance your body produces naturally when it breaks down the amino acid leucine. Studies have linked HMB to various health benefits, such as improved exercise adaptations, reduced muscle loss, better exercise recovery, and more. 

Research suggests that combining HMB and creatine can have a synergistic effect, meaning their combined use leads to greater muscle growth and performance benefits than taking either supplement alone, particularly in regards to improving power and aerobic capacity, with some studies indicating a positive impact on body composition by increasing lean muscle mass while reducing fat mass.

IS CREATINE/HMB SAFE TO USE? 

Yes, both creatine and HMB are considered safe for daily use, even over extended periods, as long as it's taken in recommended doses. Studies spanning years of daily use have shown no adverse effects on healthy individuals. However, Do NOT consume this product if you are pregnant, nursing, anticipate surgery, take prescription medications, have or have been treated for, diagnosed with or have a family history of any medical condition. Discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional if you experience any adverse reaction to this product. Store in a cool dry place. Keep out of reach of children.

DO WOMEN BLOAT WHEN THEY USE CREATINE? 

While bloating can be a side effect of taking creatine, it's usually pretty avoidable. Because creatine draws water into muscle cells, water retention and bloating may occur from taking it. However, if you avoid the loading phase and stick to a lower daily maintenance dose of 3 to 5 grams daily, you can reduce your chances of experiencing uncomfortable bloating. 

CAN WOMEN USE CREATINE/HMB? 

Yes, both women and men can use creatine and HMB. Creatine can help increase strength, power, and athletic performance in women. It can also improve brain, skin, and bone health, reduce fatigue, and help with recovery from injuries. While HMB can help improve strength. The recommended daily dosage for women is 3 grams. 

WHAT DOES CREATINE/HMB TASTE LIKE? 

It’s a flavorless white powder that’ll mix well with your Thentic pre-workout, recovery or protein powder supplement. 

DO I NEED TO DO THE “LOADING PHASE”?

Most experts agree that consistently taking a standard dose of creatine daily, including Creatine HMB, will eventually saturate your muscle creatine stores within a few weeks, making a "loading" phase unnecessary. While a loading phase (taking a higher dose initially) can rapidly fill your creatine stores, a consistent daily dose will eventually achieve the same effect, just over a slightly longer period.

WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS FROM USING CREATINE/HMB?

A majority of people start to notice results within a few weeks. They often report improved performance, endurance, and strength when training. But it’s always good to remember everyone is different and for that reason, your results may vary. 

DO I NEED TO DRINK MORE WATER WHEN I USE CREATINE/HMB? 

As with general health and well-being practices, it is beneficial to stay adequately hydrated whether you’re taking creatine/hmb or not. However,  drinking sufficient amounts of water throughout the day supports maintenance of hydration levels and supports overall performance and benefits of creatine supplementation. As water helps with the absorption of creatine into your cells this can help with absorption and efficacy (supporting uptake into cells in the body but also helps optimize creatine impact on exercise performance and muscle recovery). 

IS TAKING CREATINE WITH HMB BETTER THAN CREATINE ALONE? 

Based on current clinical evidence, combining creatine with HMB (beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate) appears to result in a greater increase in lean muscle mass, strength, and potentially improved body composition compared to taking creatine alone, suggesting a synergistic effect between the two supplements.
