CON-CRET® - Creatine HCl Capsules

CON-CRET® Patented Creatine HCl Capsules

CON-CRET® Creatine HCl Capsules deliver 750mg of patented Creatine Hydrochloride per capsule using a proprietary Micro-Dosing® protocol—the same performance support as standard creatine in a fraction of the amount, with no loading phase, no bloating, and no stomach discomfort. With a single-ingredient, ultra-clean formula, this is creatine stripped down to its most efficient form.

CON-CRET® is NSF Certified for Sport®—one of the most rigorous independent third-party certifications available, verifying that every batch is tested against 290+ substances banned by major athletic organizations and that label claims match what's actually in the product.

How CON-CRET® Creatine HCl Works

Creatine supports performance by helping replenish phosphocreatine stores in muscle tissue, which are used to regenerate ATP—the primary energy currency your muscles burn during high-intensity efforts like heavy lifting, sprinting, and explosive movements. When phosphocreatine is depleted, ATP production slows and performance drops. Supplementing with creatine helps sustain ATP availability for longer, enabling more reps, heavier loads, and faster recovery between sets.

Why the HCl Form Matters

Not all creatine is created equal. The key differentiator for Creatine Hydrochloride is its dramatically superior solubility. CON-CRET® has been shown in research to be at least 59x more soluble in water than creatine monohydrate when dissolved for two minutes or less—and in a published double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover bioequivalence study, CON-CRET® demonstrated up to 70% greater plasma uptake compared to creatine monohydrate when measuring area-under-curve (AUC) calculations.

What Superior Solubility Means in Practice

Higher solubility means the compound dissolves and absorbs at the intestinal level more efficiently, which translates to a smaller effective dose, fewer unused molecules sitting in the gut (which cause bloating and cramps), and faster muscle saturation without the large front-loaded doses traditional monohydrate requires.

The Micro-Dosing® Protocol

Because CON-CRET® is absorbed so efficiently, the effective dose is based on body weight rather than a blanket 3–5g recommendation. This body-weight-driven approach is central to what CON-CRET® calls Micro-Dosing®—using the minimum effective amount your body can actually utilize, rather than an excess dose designed to compensate for lower absorption forms.

Ingredient Profile

Active Ingredient

• CON-CRET® Creatine HCl — 750mg: Patented Creatine Hydrochloride, a bonded creatine salt formed by attaching a hydrochloride group to the creatine molecule. This bonding dramatically increases aqueous solubility and intestinal absorption compared to creatine monohydrate, enabling effective performance support at a fraction of the typical dose without loading, cycling, or significant water retention. Produced in the USA.

Other Ingredients

• Vegetarian Capsule (Hypromellose): Plant-based capsule shell with no gelatin—suitable for vegetarians and those who prefer non-animal-derived capsules.

Zero fillers. Zero excipients beyond the capsule shell. This is as clean a creatine formula as exists on the market.

CON-CRET® Versus Creatine Monohydrate

Creatine monohydrate remains the most extensively researched form of creatine and is highly effective for the majority of users. CON-CRET® Creatine HCl is not a replacement argument—it is a different tool that solves specific problems some users encounter with monohydrate.

Third-Party Certifications

• NSF Certified for Sport®: Independently verifies that the product does not contain any of 290+ substances banned by major sporting organizations (NCAA, NFL, MLB, Olympics), that label contents match what is actually in the product, and that the product has undergone toxicological review of all ingredients. This is the most trusted certification in competitive athletics.
• USA Made: CON-CRET® Creatine HCl is manufactured domestically in the United States.
• GMP Certified: Produced under Good Manufacturing Practice standards for consistency, purity, and quality control.

For competitive athletes subject to drug testing at any level—high school, collegiate, professional, or Olympic—NSF Certified for Sport® is the certification that matters most. It is not a self-declaration; it is verified by an independent third party.

About CON-CRET®

CON-CRET® (by Promera Sports) pioneered the patented Creatine HCl category and the Micro-Dosing® protocol, holding the original patents on creatine hydrochloride oral supplementation. Their formulas are NSF Certified for Sport® and are permissible for use by college student-athletes under NCAA guidelines.
