- The Ultimate Creatine Formula
- 10 Versions of Creatine
- No Loading Required
- Exclusive Creatine Accelerant Blend
Creatine is the most researched and proven effective supplement on the market. Creatine works, there’s no doubt about it. In fact, it works so well that it’s typically among the first supplements bodybuilders will try and it’s a foundation product in the supplement program of many advanced bodybuilders.
So exactly what does Creatine do? For starters, Creatine enhances ATP production by increasing phosphocreatine stores in the muscles. ATP fuels muscular contractions but depletes very quickly, which means it must be replenished quickly to allow continued contractions. By increasing phosphocreatine levels in the muscles, Creatine supports ATP regeneration – this means you can keep your ultra-intense reps and sets going.
There’s more - Creatine is the original cell volumizer, it supports muscle cell volume and hydration by pulling water into the muscle cells which creates the huge pumps craved by many bodybuilders. Additionally, Creatine improves strength and promotes muscle growth. That’s quite a list of benefits!
The most common version of Creatine is the original Creatine Monohydrate, however as good as this version is, it does have absorption problems.
Of course, Rich Piana 5% Nutrition understands that Creatine Monohydrate falls short when it comes to absorption. That’s why we’ve gone all out and created the most effective Creatine formula on the market - Crea-TEN! Leave it to Rich Piana to solve the absorption problems of creatine for the last time with a Creatine formula that combines the ten most effective forms of Creatine available on the market today. We wanted an even more advanced formula so we included our exclusive Creatine Accelerate Blend. This advanced Blend guarantees that your muscles soak in every drop of our 10-Creatine Blend for max results. After all, it doesn’t matter how effective a supplement is if you can’t absorb it.
Creatine Blend – 5 grams
Creatine MagnaPower® (Magnesium Creatine Chelate) – This trademarked version consists of Creatine bonded to a chelated form of magnesium for enhanced absorption.
Tri-Creatine Malate – This is a combination of Creatine and Malic Acid, which like Creatine, also plays a role in the ATP energy system.
Creatine Anhydrous – This is Creatine Monohydrate with all the moisture removed, this creates a highly concentrated type of Creatine.
Creapure® Creatine Monohydrate – This is a branded version of the original Creatine Monohydrate. This is the most tested and proven form of Creatine you can buy. Creapure uses micronized Creatine particles to enhance absorption and utilization.
Creatine Citrate – This version combines Creatine and Citric Acid, which is another component of the ATP energy system, all these ATP related forms of Creatine mean dramatically improved endurance.
Creatine Pyruvate – Like several of the other versions of Creatine in Crea-TEN, Creatine Pyruvate supports the ATP energy system for improved endurance.
Creatine Ethyl Ester – An early version of Creatine that targeted the absorption problems associated with the original Creatine Monohydrate. This version continues to be one of the most popular forms of Creatine on the market.
Creatine AKG – This is a combination of Creatine and Alpha-Ketoglutarate and, like many of the versions in Crea-TEN, targets improved endurance.
Creatine Ethyl Ester Malate – This is Creatine Ethyl Ester attached to Malic Acid. This type of Creatine continues the trend of promoting endurance.
Creatine Gluconate – Back when Creatine was just introduced, it was recommended to be taken with a simple sugar such as fruit juice to improve absorption. This version is similar in that that it’s Creatine attached to a fast-acting glucose molecule.
Creatine Accelerate Blend – 1590 mg – This advanced Blend consists of Taurine, Betaine, Gymnema Sylvestre, Black Pepper, Vanadium, Banaba, and Fenugreek and is designed to optimize absorption and utilization.
Taurine – When you think of cell volume, Creatine is usually the first nutrient you think of, or at least it should be. Cell volume means that water is pulled into the muscles which promote muscle fullness, or water-based pumps. One of the ingredients that are often paired with Creatine to enhance this process is Taurine and is included in our Accelerate Blend for that reason.
Betaine Anhydrous – This is a newer ingredient that’s become increasingly common in many Creatine formulas and pre-workouts due to Betaine’s potential to enhance muscle cell volume by pulling water into the muscles. Considered to have effects that are similar to Creatine, this compound also increases strength.
Gymnema Sylvestre Extract - This herb is usually found in Glucose Disposal Agents and helps keep blood sugar levels stable. It also helps drive carbs into your muscle cells – and carbs pull in water for greater pumps and improved hydration.
Vanadium Nicotinate Glycinate Chelate – This is a chelated mineral bond that affects blood sugar in much the same way as Chromium.
Banaba Powder – This herb enhances glucose delivery to your muscles. Recall that Creatine was originally recommended to be taken with a simple sugar to improve absorption, you can see why it’s included here.
Fenugreek Seed Extract - Fenugreek is usually thought of as a natural test boosting ingredient. It’s part of our Creatine Accelerant Blend because can reduce levels of glucose in the blood, thereby avoiding unwanted insulin spikes.
BioPerine® Black Pepper – This is a patented form of Black Pepper used in many supplements to enhance overall nutrient absorption.

gostewart30 –
I enjoy Rich’s you tube videos so much. as for as the crea-ten i didnt notice strength until the 2n week when everything was becoming a tad lighter..as for as all this water weight. I am a ectomorph all i seen is sizebele lean muscle. yes i already bought my 2nd container
Felt –
Ok my review might be a little bit different only because I found out years ago that my body responses better than most to creatine , so this for me was like steroids damn near, I’ve packed on 16 pounds of muscle in a month and I’m still getting bigger just recently I cycled off to see if my body would respond better going back on and it did , damn it did since taking my benchjumped from 315 for reps and sets of 5 to 415 for reps o 15 and more for nothing less than 6 sets give it a try .
Tommy –
I mix it with a little orange juice and chug it immediately after my workout. These products can’t be beat.
Tyler –
This is a great product. Ive been taking it for about 2 weeks now and I’ve noticed strength increase. Rich need to make more flavors so people can mix it with the ALL DAY YOU MAY
artj –
Rich does a great job, this product is fantastic, DID YOU SAY 10 Creatines? mixes well , flavor is fantastic
DBlack –
Awesome!!! How do I recycle the empty containers?
MR –
First and only choice in supplements, as they taste great, and actually work.
chad –
Haven’t been in the gym in years and I’ve never used supplements and I’ve bought 3 5% products the all day you may,cre-ten and the kill it and I’m definitely buying again …when I was in good shape at 180lbs I never had veins show in my bicep and now within 3 weeks of using this product and weighing 220 I have them showing..good pumps from the kill it without the jitters from all the stimulants that other products use….the taste of all day you may is decent so I normally add some blue Gatorade but I definitely recommend these products and the shipping from illpumpyouup.com is super fast….thanks guys
big nick –
i love it!!! i looked and felt fuller in 3 days. its been 2 weeks, and i look nice n full all the time. i WILL buy this again.
trell –
I thought that the product was as advertised. I’m looking forward to making another purchase in the future.
Thomas S. –
After trying Createn and now actively using it, I have discovered that it is… AWESOME!!! Granted i’m using his other products as well, but still, it feels like i’m using pro hormones again (from the gains i’m getting).
Kenny wood –
If you are considering getting creatine, or you just want to gain a lot of size then I strongly recommend this product. It works tremendously and you’re definitely getting your moneys worth with this product. I actually recommend all of Rich Pianas products, buddy knows his stuff.
chad –
Its hard for me to explain how good this stuff is. Just try it for yourself.
The swede –
I’m one of the ‘non responders’ to creatine, until I tried this.
Just love it, finally I’ve found a creatine that works for me
D. Strang –
This product tastes really good I’ve tried it by itself and with Kill it preworkout. The combo together is unmached hands down !!
The Old Man –
As I’ve gotten older (52) I started finding it a bit more taxing to get through my workouts and remain intense. I was looking for a good supplement for during my workout and a friend recommended Crea-TEN and All Day You May. I put a scoop of each in my water during workout and have loved the results! The results have been great, the taste is great, they mix easy and there is no hopped up feeling like a lot of the pre-Workout supplements.
Jay –
Best after workout drink I’ve ever had very little recovery time needed! Absolutely love the product.
JJ –
Love this product. Taste amazing, I feel my strength last longer in the gym, I don’t fade at the end anymore.
Freddy –
I’m one of the non responders!? I’ve tried many others sorts of creatine with no response or just some marginal performance.
This really works for me, try it. !!
Steve B –
Awesome product love the fact of 10 creatines. Helps me grind out those last reps in my crossfit workouts. Definitely worth getting. Mocs and taste great. Use as a post workout mixed with all day you may. And I use Kill It as my pre workout.
Jake Sweet –
My favorite! Amazing gains in just one month!
BG –
This is my first experience with a Creatine product. Taste great, mixes well. but this stuff works. After a few weeks of use, I noticed that I was able to throw around more weight than I was used to and pretty easily. I also noticed decent gains. Took another look at the label and realized it performed as advertised. So far I’ve had good luck with 5% nutrition.
Dan Trujillo –
I actually won my container of crea-ten off of illpumpyouup.coms facebook page. After buying creatine from another brand and seeing no result and extreme cramping. I figured creatine just does not work for me. After trying out CREA-TEN for two weeks I must say I am very pleased with the product and results. It tastes great, mixes well with a shaker or spoon, and actually delivers. It is well worth the already low cost illpumpyouup.com offers it for.
Geoff Holliday –
i get 3 products from Rich. i take the pre workout. alldayumay i dont take it after my workout. actually i drink it intra workout. and then after im done i take createn. love these products.
Paul Charland –
I have been trying different creatine supplements for more then a decade. The one this that I can honestly say about 99% is that they were a complete waste of money. I am HUGE ‘ALL DAY YOU MAY’ fan so I figured that I would shell out for Rich’s creatine mix. Let me tell you that this shit should really be called Crea-TREN. The change in size has been so noticeable that people in my gym are coming up to me giving me the WTF comments. I get a big difference in how I look and how I feel. Strength is up about 30-50lb in everything. I was also VERY skeptical about the insulin delivery system. But, since i am hypoglycemic, it gave me the perfect opportunity to test it. Soooo, after my workout I too it and held off on eating to see how my blood sugar held up. Boy did that shit tank. Bottom line is that I am a huge fan. Once again Rich, best bang for the buck supplement of its kind out there. Not that anyone makes a creatine supplement on this level though… AMAZING!
kyle aka blackmamba –
The createn was officailly the shit thanks
Josh –
Just like Rich says, supplements are not a cure all, but they can be helpful. This Creatine does not bloat you up, no loading needed, and as far as effectiveness goes, I’d say it’s one of the best I’ve taken.
Old man still working out for a better future –

Alonso –

Frankie –
I loved this product. The taste, the results, and the price. Everything about it was great, especially if you’re trying to bulk like i am. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. Can’t wait to get some more.
mweinber –
I love the carbonated after taste post workout
Dave Redskin –
Taste Great (mango), mixed really well. Saw serious results within 30 days. No bloating feeling. Your diet must be on point and you MUST stay hydrated. I was lifting heavier by week two. Defiantly recommend to any one that wants gainz.
Wilbur King –
I really like the Crea Ten by Rich Piana. It mixes very
well, and the taste, especially the pineapple/mango is awesome!
I’m almost done with my first tub, and notice some strength
and energy. With decreased rest between sets!
Keep up the good work!!! and #128170 and #127998
wilbur King –
you guys get a 100% on the taste of this product, and I feel myself getting stronger I finished one tub already with no bloating or cramping or loading! On another note I just want to thank you guys my first order of Crea-ten never made it to my apartment I just needed to call you guys and you guys said no problem and sent me another tub now that’s customer service!! I will continue to order from you guys from here on out! Thanks!!!
Kevin –
Tried many different creatines…but this is the only one with no bloat or stomach issues ..tastes very good and mixes great..gained about 5 pounds in one container…will continue to use
M USA –
Creatine is a must have staple for me. It really helps me with endurance and has proven general health benefits too. The 10 different types in this one really seem to cover all of the angles dispite the critiques who argue monohydrate is the best or 10 is to many, again this works great for me. Flavors, mix ability, and results are all on point.
Joe –
Excellent product, gains are positive do recommend to take it before workouts. I think the reason they say to take after is the expect you to take kill-it before work out.
Scott Rhodes –
Taste is top notch. I’m starting to strength train for a bench comp, since adding this to my supplement game I’ve notice an increase in strength and endurance. I recommend it
Smiley –
I have tried many creatine products but this one is by far the best one I have every use rich piana nailed it on this product I noticed increase strength in a week after using it really great product a must have
Big E –
Incredible pumps, mixs well. Simply the best creatine.
Ryan –
Great taste. Mixed well. No bloat. Recommend this product. Good results
ONURLEFT –
There’s proof that creatine is a supplement that actually works for people who take it. Now on that note not everyone will reap the same amount of benefits, regardless still great to take. I encourage everyone to try differentbbrands and see which one works best for you. If you take 5% nutrition createn then this is by far the best flavor to buy.
Josh –
I have quit using other brands of creatine. This is my go to supplement for size, strength and endurance. I saw great results and quick! I have and will continue to recommend this product to everyone
thedeathlyfighter –
I bought this a month ago, wanted to go through the entire container before doing a review. All I’ll say is this is a top notch creatine. Tastes amazing, mixes good if you drink it right away. And I’ve noticed a gain of 1.4 pounds a week since trying it. I would def recommend this to anyone. And will continue to buy it.
amanda –
so far its great taste so good.. mixes really good no bloating or side effects best createn I ever had will only buy his from now on
ookla357 –

Travis Limauro –
I love this product. I have gotten stronger and also put on size. This is the only creatine product I will take. I highly recommend this product. It mixes well and all flavors taste great. Mix with Gatorade for best results.
Chris –
Being a 45yr old single father I don’t have the luxury of going to the gym as often as I would like but I still get 3 – 4 times a week. I felt the createn did give me additional strength and size. If I were able to get to the gym and train as much as I would like to I feel ithe createn would be very beneficial.
Joefrank24 –
Great product I would definitely recommend it
Jay bird –
Just love it. Ive gained some muscle in areas I didn’t even know I had muscle. The best!
Eric C –
I ordered the 5% createn. The product has done me good my muscles are fuller and my gains have been consistent. I’ve actually order it 2 months in a row. Mixability was good and flavor was good aswell. I recommend this product to anyone looking to make some honest gains and to feel stronger… I also encourage folks to try the 5150 preworkout… it gives you some crazy energy…
