The verdict

Creatine HCl is real creatine, but the "you need less" claim is marketing — the muscle-saturation research is on 3–5g of monohydrate, and 750mg doesn't match it. HCl dissolves better, but you're paying more for a smaller, less-proven dose. Monohydrate at 5g is cheaper and better studied.
