Green MAGnitude is the most advanced powder creatine matrix ever to reach the market and one of the first creatine products on the market to combine Magnesium Creatine Chelate (a patented form of creatine), with Dicreatine Malate (creatine bound with Malic Acid) to deliver synergistic benefits you can actually FEEL working during your workout.

Magnesium Creatine Chelate and Dicreatine Malate are important during both anaerobic and aerobic workouts and are involved in the efficient production and utilization of ATP. This KEY COMBINATION also has oxygen-sparing effects and helps optimize mitochonddrial function to directly and indirectly "boost energy" during your workout or cardio session. As a bonus, when combined with Betaine Anhydrous, this potent combination may also help neutralize lactic acid build-up indirectly, and signal the body to use oxygen to burn fat as fuel.

Taurine, Betaine Anhydrous, and Tyrosine have a wide variety of physiological and metabolic functions and were added to Green MAGnitude for potent volumizing, antioxidant, ergogenic, and cognitive benefits.

Sour Green Apple Flavor

A solid creatine product for sure. I like magnesium creatine chelate a lot, and this product conatins this form and dicreatine malate.

Compared to regular creatine monohydrate (creapure) I have seen similar effect using this product - which means it works as it should. The bonus though comes in a few extras that make this not a pre-WO per se, but can show some benefit to using pre-workout. I have not seen significant difference using pre-WO, but the ingredients are there.

Value is great - 80 days worth for a really good price at most places.

Mixes well in water, but left some larger grain residue in shaker. It tastes not too bad. It was a bit sweet for me, and the 'flavor' of apple itself was weak, but it was easy to ingest anyway.

First off, I have to say the taste of Green Magnitude has you sold. Green lemonade is the bomb flavor for sure. I mixed one scoop in 6 ounces of water and like 12 small ice cubes. The mixing was easy in a shaker cup and there were no clumps. It was quite easy and once the green lemonade flavor hit your tongue you could not resist. This stuff doesn't even have any creatine aftertaste or anything like that. I did a nice volumization effect in the gym when using this product. You will not get bloated using this product like creatine monohydrate. I always tend to get a little bloated when using plain monohydrate, but this product is free of that which I am quite happy. The price ain't bad either on bodybuilding com. If you want a flavored creatine product, I suggest you try Green magnitude.

I have used this product many times, going through about my 8th tub at the moment, and all I have to say is amazing. This is an exceptional creatine that I recommend to all. Great benefits at complete safety to you. No worries about testicular shrinkage or skyrocketing estrogen levels, just pure results (albeit not on the level of anabolic steroids, but I'd rather retain my health and still make steady, good gains than make unreal gains and suffer from unreal consequences). Blabber aside, I have, and still am, experiencing great results, including great size and strength gains. Not to mention it tastes great and mixes practically instantly. Green MAGnitude utilizes a patented form of creatine known as magnesium creatine chelate in a green powder that tastes extremely good. I personally use Lemonade, but Juicy Sour Green Apple is just as good.In fact I might even say that this is the best tasting supplement on the planet, not that I do nor should really care about taste, however it is a bonus. The only con is that I did notice a bloat at one time, but curiously enough I only experienced that once. I would also say that it mixes as good as any other product, being that it dissolves almost instantly into a light green concoction. It takes about 2-3 weeks for the effects to really start settling in. I personally noticed it really taking affect during the middle of my 3rd week, and from thence forth made great gains. If you are interested in stacking this product, I would recommend EAA's and some Beta Alanine, ideally coming from Controlled Labs Purple WrAAth since they were both designed to be stacked together, besides the basics (i.e. multi-vitamin, protein, etc.). Also, make sure you are consuming carbohydrates such as Dextrose and Maltodextrin to enhance the potency of Green MAGnitude. Another thing I like about tis product is that it comes with full customer support. All you have to do is register on the Controlled Labs forum and then you can post any questions and/or concerns you may have. Whether you are cutting or bulking or even doing something in between those, I can assure you that you will not be disappointed with Green MAGnitude. For all of these pros and little cons you are getting, the value is great to in my honest opinion, so now all that is left is whether or not you take my word for it and try it. I am sure, however, that you won't have to just take my word, because any search of Green MAGnitude brings up a plethora of positive feedback. It's delicious, mixes well, gives you great results, little side effects, and yet is completely safe at the same time. Granted, you still have to eat right, work out right, and recover right, but as a SUPPLEMENT to all of this, Green MAGnitude is one of my favorites, and I'm sure it will become one of your favorites too. It's green for crying out loud!

i have tried both flavors of green mag, though i prefer the sour green apple, both are excellent flavors and i am more than satisfied with either.
in terms of gains, i cant say i notice any real bloating. i have had better workouts as of late since switching to green mag from monohydrate, but i cannot say this is attributed to the product itself as there are other factors that play a role in my day-to-day acheivments. so i cant say if it is better than mono exactly.
mixability is great, no problems what so ever.

although you can pick up 80 servings for about $40 which is considered a good deal on designer creatine products, im still not overly impressed with the cost per serving as storm (universal) has 80 servings for $25, and i have also had great gains with that.

all in all, to each his own creatine, this ones good, im just a cheap university student on a budget

As a young boy, I always made a list for Santa Clause. That jolly old guy managed to give me all the guns, hookers and fast cars that I demanded, but he could never seem to get me that sour green apple creatine that I always wanted. Fast forward to today: unfortunately, Santa kicked the bucket due to a plethora of sexually transmitted diseases, but Controlled Labs is now making that sour green apple creatine I've always wanted.

Physical Energy - This is really more like endurance than "energy". This did a decent job for me of increasing endurance. It's nothing mind blowing at all, but it does allow for more consistent reps during a workout.

Low Side Effects - This uses Dicreatine Malate and Magnesium Creatine Chelate as its sources of creatine. Admittedly, I don't have the chemistry know-how to draw these compounds on paper, but I do know one thing - they don't make me retain water like creatine monohydrate. A little less bloat in the mirror works for me.

Taste - I've tried both Sour Green Apple and Electric Lemonade. Both flavors taste quite good. They do get a little old after a while, but what calorie free flavored creatine doesn't?

Mixes Well - It really does. I haven't tried it in milk, but I'd bet there are few that would be so adventurous as to try that.

Value - This is a fantastic value in the world of creatines. It can be taken every other day after the first week or two, and it will maintain its effectiveness. The only competition in this price range is probably Universal's Storm

Overall, this is a great product for the price. It has it all really...unless you're just not into apple or lemonade flavors.

Oh Santa, you old fool. If only you could see me now, cruising down the highway in my M5, with a hooker up front and one in the trunk - sipping on my Green Mag...

Great product by another great company, Controlled Labs. Another company who stands by there products because they know they are top of the line and some of the best out there. The taste is incredible, no bloating or cramps or anything, some good strength gains, and overall a good creatine for people to try. It is a great product to also stack with other CL product's such as White Flood, Purple Wraath, and Orange Triad. Some people may say this isnt the most effective creatine, but i think it serves its purpose and does it for a very decent price!

At the risk of sounding like a Controlled Labs fanboy...I love Green Magnitude. It is usually stacked with White Flood as it is a creatine product, but Green Magnitude also seems to pump me up on its own, possibly due to the Taurine, I'm not sure. But whatever it is, it delivers creatine and a burst of energy and improved recovery. The icing on the cake is the delicious flavor (Sour Apple and Lemonade are both great). Like most CL stuff, it's also a very good value, at around 50 cents per serving.

I recently got to try some Controlled Labs Green Magnitude and personally loved it. I only took it for a few days but I could really recognize what it did to my body. With the first serving all I could tell was that the taste of Sour Apple was amazing and I felt kind of pumped up to go to the gym. After a couple days my lifts started to slowly climb and I knew that my strength was going up a little which is great after just a short period of time. This product mixes well and is the best tasting product I have ever tried. Controlled Labs is an amazing company and coming from them I knew this product wouldn't let me down and it didn't.

controlled labs is a great company, and overall, green magnitude is a great product. it offers a "fancy" alternative to creatine mono along with other extras. i felt this product helped me build muscle and strength as a creatine product should, but nothing more. afterall it is just a creatine product. the taste was very strong for me so i just mixed it up with more water than the tub says, which isnt really a big deal. the powder mixed up very easily both with a spoon and with a shaker so thsi was not a problem at all. the only complaint i have about the product is that the first few servings did not sit well with my stomach, which i have been told is probably due to the magnesium. so i would suggest this to anyone looking for a new creatine product, but be sure to use smaller servings your first few times to asses your tolerance to the product.

This is my favorite creatine product, bar none. It has the best taste, mixes very well, and has a great ingredient profile. The forms of creatine used are advanced and dosed in adequate amounts, as is the Taurine and Tyrosine, both of which help with recovery and stamina in the gym.

As far as creatine products go, this one does not contain any carbs, which I think are unnecessary in a creatine supplement such as Cell Tech. In addition, the price of Green Mag is very good and you get 80 servings, enough to last a long time whether you take it every day or only on workout days.

Some people have had bad side effects based on the magnesium content, I am not one of those people but keep it in mind when considering this product. Other than that concern I can think of nothing that would keep someone from using this product day in and day out.

I liked taking this product a lot. What stood out about it more than anything is the taste, the flavor I chose was candy apple and thats exactly what it tasted like. It was by far the best tasting creatine supplement I have ever or probably will ever taste. I took it everyday and about 30 mins. pre-workout on workout days. During my exercises there was notable strength and stamina increases, I was able to squeeze out 1 or 2 more reps than normal and and I was able workout go a bit longer. Also my muscles over time filled out pretty well.

Creatines are known unless capped for tasting pretty bad especially CEE, but not so with green magnitude. In my opinion if you just bought GM for the taste alone it would still be a great buy. GM also contains adequate doses of Taurine and Tyrosine which is also a plus.

My staple creatine when im cutting. Taking in consideration the great quality of Controlled Labs and its past creatine supplement Green Bulge, you cant miss this one.

I prefer to use it while cutting ( i also use it on bulking ) because its calorie free, it works by upping your strength and there is no bloat at all, instead of some users report with creatine monohydrate.

The taste is great, at least the Sour Apple flavor, i havent tried Electric Lemonade yet, but sour green apple is very decent. One tub can last you 2 months!, taking one serving per day to maintain creatine levels and the price its another plus, you can find it around $40 bucks the 2 month version or at $25 bucks the 1 month version.

I highly recommend it if youre tired of mono and looking for edge and something more.

For me, this was an average creatine product at best. The only thing exceptional about Green Mag was the taste. It really tastes like liquid candy. I looked forward to the taste of every serving. It also has alot of servings for the price. It mixed perfectly, better than most creatines.
All of that being said, I will not use Green Mag again. I had horrible gastric side effects from the high levels of magnesium in the product. I tried to do a half serving pre workout and a half post workout, which helped a little, but still I had very bad gastric problems. Although not everyone has experienced these side effects, there are many who have. If you are not sensitive to magnesium, then this is a fine creatine product to take. I didn't experience as much fullness, hardness, and strength as I did with other creatines, but I did have some increases.

GreenMAG is by far one of if not the best creatine ive ever tried. Everytime i take a cycle i gain enormous amounts of strength. It tastes amazing and the texture isnt bad at all. They have 2 flavors. green apple and electric lemonade. You can go wrong with wither one. both solid flavors. You might want to watch out with your taking MAOI's though as this could have bad side effects. Staking it with glycergrow is recommended as those 2 together have amazing effects. As far as weight gain goes it helps you put on some muscle but nothing magical and there practicly no water bloat. one thing to note before taking this is if you have magnesium sensitivity because this does contain magnesium, about 83% of you DV. so for some it may gas stomach issues and potentially diareha. Make sure to drink PLENTY of water with this supplement as it works best with 1-2 gallonsof water a day.

I recently bought Green MAGnitude and I can say, I am really happy I bought this. The pumps I’ve been getting lately have been significantly bigger, and the flavor is amazing. I usually mix one serving of green apple flavor, into about 8-10 oz of water and when I am done, I am left with a great tasting drink that will benefit in the gym. I suggest this over Size ON because it will get annoying lugging around a huge bottle filled with Size ON and the flavors don’t even compare to the taste of this. I trusted Controlled Labs with all there other products like White Flood, Purple Wrath, etc.. And I trust them on this one too. This high quality product will make you keep buying it over and over again. I suggest you go out today and buy yourself some of this, because if your looking for a real helper in the gym, you found it right here.

Controlled Labs Green Mag has been a staple in my diet/ supplement stash for the past year due to its great taste and its overall wellness in building muscle. Green Mag definitely gives you the most bang for your buck, with 80 servings from anywhere between 30-45 dollars. Another great benefit to this product is that the company that makes it (Controlled Labs) is one of the most respectable and reliable company's IMO.. If anything is wrong with the product they replace it without question and give you a new bottle of the amazing GREEEEEN MAG! Last but not least I cannot forget to mention that the taste of Green Mag is amazing, It basically tastes like a sour apple Kool-Aid drink and you sometimes find yourself wanting to have more green mag than you should..

Overall I give Green Mag a A+ and a must buy product.

Controlled Labs: Green MAGnitude

Green MAGnitude is a creatine product made by the people at Controlled Labs. Over the past several years the New York based company has established themselves as a significant player in the supplement industry.

Green MAG comes in two flavors, Sour Green Apple, and Electric Lemonade. Both flavors are absolutely outstanding and are a treat to ingest. The product retails for $40.00 at most online retailers but can be found cheaper using Google. Green Mag contains 80 servings making it an amazing deal at $0.50/serving. It is a top of the line creatine cocktail that will present amazing results.

While all of Controlled Lab's products are high quality, Green MAG is by far my favorite. Having used several other direct competitors products (Universal Storm, MuscleTech Cell Tech, BSN Cell Mass) I can easily say that this product is by far the best. In terms of results no other product compares! In terms of Value only Univeral Storm is cheaper.

I have been taking this for over two months, and my strength has increased alot on my core lifts. I am really impressed with this product. Before using Green Magnitude I went through alittle over one tub of Gaspari Nutrition SizeON, and didnt have as much of an increase in strength as I have with Green Magnitude. I have tried many other types of creatine in the past, such as Monohydrate, CEE. All of which dont give me the same effect as Green Magnitude. With Green Magnitude you get a healthy dose of Magnesium Creatine Chelate (2.5gr) and Dicreatine Malate (2.5gr) makeing up the creatine blend.

This product tastes great! it comes in Sour Apple and Lemonade flavors. All of which taste great. Sour Apple tastes like Green Apple Jolly Ranchers! At 80 servings per tub it is a great value! It has now become one of my staple supplements. Green Magitude stacks very well with GlycerGrow and Purple wrath.

Green magnitude is a fairly well known product, so i trusted it completely when i decided to give it a try. There are free samples available all over the internet, so to be safe, i tried those first and was quite impressed. I knew i wouldn't see any difference in the creatine, but it tasted great and got me energized. So, when i actually ordered the product, it was no surprise to me that it worked well for me. I mix it with a few ounces water and I'm good to go. The apple flavor is great, and i took it about thirty minutes before my workout. It mixes well also. Used in conjunction with weight gainers, in a bulking phase i have gained about 5 pounds in just under 2 months. Many people stack this product with other controlled labs products like white flood with great results, and i plan to do the same. i will definitely give this product another go and i would recommend it to anyone looking to gain lean mass for a fairly cheap price.
