How to Get More Out of Creatine

My creatine tip isn’t about creatine loading.

Or taking creatine with grape juice.

Those are old-school tips that have proven to be outdated.

Your muscles reach the same saturation point eventually without loading or mixing with sugary drinks. – Especially when you use creatine HCL (up to 40x more soluble than monohydrate).

The tip I want to talk about is stacking creatine with betaine.

Betaine is a naturally occurring compound found in foods like beets, spinach, and whole grains.

Why Betaine?

  1. Enhances strength & performance
  2. Supports testosterone levels
  3. Helps with body recomp (more muscle and less body fat)

It also helps your cells stay healthy and hydrated.

This amplifies the cell hydration benefits compared to creatine alone.

This improves the appearance of your muscles.

*Creatine + Betaine really maximizes muscle size.

But it isn’t just about cell hydration and muscle size.

Let’s talk about those 3 benefits I mentioned earlier.

1. Betaine improves muscle performance.

Studies have shown that betaine supplementation can enhance muscular endurance and strength.

The findings in this study[1] show the impressive effects of betaine on strength.

  • Subjects performed 5 sets of leg press & bench press to failure
  • 80% of their 1 rep max for each exercise
  • Placebo Group: 24.8 reps of Leg Press and 26.1 reps of Bench Press
  • Betaine Group: 35.8 reps of Leg Press and 36.3 reps of Bench Press

The betaine group did a total of 10+ more reps on both the leg press and the bench than the placebo group.

This is f*ckn huge!

That is 2 more reps per set on average.

If you can perform 1-2 more reps in each work set, you will add muscle to the targetted muscle groups.

This same study found these statistically significant improvements…

  • Lowered post-exercise cortisol levels
  • Reduced lactate levels
  • Increased total testosterone
  • Improved testosterone-to-cortisol ratio

This isn’t the only study to show the benefits betaine has when it comes to improving testosterone levels.

2. Betaine increases testosterone levels.

Here’s a study[2] that looked at CrossFit’ers supplementing with betaine.

They found that three weeks of betaine intake increased testosterone levels by 7%.

3. Betaine helps with body recomp (more muscle and less body fat).

Here’s a meta-analysis[3] of 6 studies with 195 total participants

Betaine supplementation significantly reduced body fat by 2.53 kg (about 5.6 pounds) on average, as well as reducing body fat percentage by 2.2%.

These studies showed no weight loss, meaning they gained the same amount of muscle as they lost in body fat.

On average, they gained 2.53kg, about 5.6 lbs of muscle.

Combining betaine with creatine can be an effective strategy to maximize muscle growth and performance.

Kino Gains was created with this in mind.

Kino Gains Capsules – combines betaine for muscle performance, testosterone, and body recomp… along with creatine HCL, which is more soluble and absorbed faster than creatine monohydrate.

I used to use the most common form of creatine, Creatine Monohydrate, but I had to keep going off it.

I’d lose that sharp and defined movie star effect.

When I made the switch to Creatine HCL, I was sold.

All of the gains without the bloat.

The Creatine HCL in Kino Gains alone will make your muscles fuller and stronger in just a matter of weeks.

With the Betaine added, it supercharges our formula.

  • Helps accelerate fat loss.
  • And more strength and muscle size gains than creatine alone.
  • It even gives a bit of a boost to your testosterone levels.

Also, if you want to kick it up a notch.

Grab our ultimate stack, The Hero Stack.

The Hero Stack contains Gains, Mojo, Nitro, and Octane.

It is the ultimate supplement stack for muscle size, performance, testosterone, blood flow, and energy.

*If you subscribe to the Hero Stack – you get FREE access to the Mojo Dojo which contains the newest versions of my programs Greek God, Warrior Shredding, and Lazy Ripped, as well as our community.

I’ll say one last thing about creatine.

The new consensus on creatine is that almost everyone should be taking it.

Creatine is arguably the most researched muscle-building supplement out there, especially from a safety and efficacy standpoint.

And our creatine formula has the best form of creatine (HCL) + betaine.

Try it for the next 60-90 days.

You will NOT be disappointed!
