there's also been lawsuits with some of these gummy companies about how much creatine is in their gummies, I have some for convenience if I want some quickly after realizing I forgot to put in my shake oy hydration drink but wouldn't want them to be the sole source of my creatine
I use the hot waterspout by the coffee at my office to mix, no problems with it dissolving then

I put 5 in my food or protein shake every day. What am I supposed to be noticing after 18 months of doing so?
Are you asking me this, or are you just adding to the thread? What 5 do you put in your food or protein shake everyday? Grams of Creatine or Gummies? I can answer your question if you want me to.

I've been using a high quality powder mixed into food or shakes for about 18 months. What am I supposed to have noticed over that period?

With most things that are in gummy form, that is the absolute worst version for getting whatever you want to get out of them. Same goes with every vitmain and supplement. It is very difficult to manage dosage amounts per gummy and they are usually wildly off. Theya re convenient for sure, but rarely accurate.

If you haven't used creatine before than I would say you probably would have noticed multiple benefits. If you are training properly you should have noticed increased strength gains over that time. Especially being able to eek out 1 or 2 more reps that you previously couldn't. Creatine is a significant part of your Phosphocreatine system which helps the anaerobic function in your muscles. For lack of better example, say a person fails on a particular rep because they have used up all of their anaerobic energy. So say that person failed on rep 5. Supplementing with creatine will give those muscle cells longer access to energy. Suddenly those 5 reps turn into 6 or 7. Not because you're stronger, but because your muscles have that extra energy. Over time, added time under tension, you should increase muscular strength and hypertrophy (with proper programming). This is on top of the "bloating" of the muscles that some people report. Creatine supplementation does increase the amount of intracellular water but that is due to osmosis.
Other benefits include cognitive functions such as clarity and less brain fog. I'm not an expert on those benefits but I superficially know them.
