Description:NOW Micronized Creatine Mononhydrate Powder has many advantages over regular creatine monohydrate powder. The smaller particle size means more surface area, allowing for better mixing and faster absorption in the body.Creatine Monohydrate is a naturally occurring compound found in the human body and obtained in the diet primarily from meat and fish. Creatine is a popular supplement among active individuals because of its ability to serve as an energy reservoir, especially during intense physical exertion. During short, intense bursts of activity, the body breaks down adenosine triphosphate (ATP) into adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and phosphate for energy. Creatine helps the body convert ADP back to ATP, providing greater amounts of ATP for energy, which may increase short-term endurance and strength. Creatine can also be stored for later use by cells creating the "energy reservoir" active individuals desire.* NOW Creatine Monohydrate is 100% pure and contains no additives or preservatives.The Inside Scoop:Creatine may be especially useful for those doing short-term, intense (anaerobic) exercise, such as weight-lifting, football, basketball, swimming, skiing and cycling.Contains no: sugar, salt, starch, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, soy, milk, egg, shellfish or preservatives.Ingredient Details:Vegetarian/Vegan Product.Calories 15 Creatine Monohydrate 5.0 g (5000 mg) Suggested Use:As a dietary supplement, mix 1 level tablespoon in fruit juice or other sweetened liquid 4 to 6 times daily, before and after exercise, for the first 7 days.

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I take every morning with vitamins after I loaded my system for a week, just got into the habit and now it is second nature. My work out pumps were a noticible improvement within 4 or 5 days, and the pump lasts longer after workouts. Have only gone up 5 lbs on bench in 2 weeks, but getting more reps at lower weight before maxing out.
