Creatine Monohydrate

A plain white powder that stirs into anything. The most studied supplement in sport, and one of the cheapest.

What it’s for

If a training plan lists one supplement, it is usually this. Micronised powder dissolves better; there is no reason to pay for the fancy forms.

What to check in the listing

Monohydrate, nothing else — the HCl and 'buffered' versions cost more and do the same job. 'Creapure' on the label means the German-made raw material and is worth a small premium; Optimum Nutrition uses it. It needs to be stirred into a full glass; a dry scoop is unpleasant.

Supplements are food, not medicine: nothing here treats or prevents anything. If you take any medicine, ask a pharmacist first.

FormPowderForm is how it arrives: something to swallow, something to stir into a drink, something to eat, or the kit that goes with them rather than a supplement itself.
Unflavoured optionYes
PriceBudgetPrice tier is the rough position within its category, not a live price: budget is the cheapest sensible option, premium costs more for a reason the page explains.
