Does creatine HCL really stop the water bloat?

Lots of reading with lots of different opinions so I'm looking for your own personal anecdotes.

I love creatine but I hate getting that water retention look. HCL seems to solve that, at least if you believe the hype.

It costs more too.

I mean the water bloat with creatine monohydrate is extremely exaggerated in my experience.

HCL is a gimmick. By nature all creatine uses body water

Agreed. Never understood why people worry about the water retention. Don't think it makes much of a difference.

Isn’t it intracellular or some shite?

Either or. I will be glad when the creatine prices drop back down to the normal rate. Shits out of control.

The water is intracellular not subcutaneous I’m pretty sure. Mono is the way to go

YouTube : biolayne on creatine

Take creatine. Water “bloat” is a myth.

Where do most order your creatine from?
I prefer the powder over the pill version

I got it from Amazon from bulk supplements. It’s in a white bag that is 1kg
