Creatine
Creatine is the most studied sports supplement and one of the few with an authorised effect claim in the EU: creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise. The claim applies to a daily intake of 3 g of creatine, and we show it only on products that provide that dose.
The section holds monohydrate powder, Creapure, micronised creatine, capsules, tablets and other forms. For most people monohydrate powder is the best value; compare the price per 100 g of creatine, not per tub.
FAQ
Which creatine is best?
For most people plain monohydrate: the most studied and the cheapest per gram of creatine. Creapure is the same monohydrate with purity controls.
How much creatine a day?
The EU-authorised claim refers to 3 g of creatine a day, about 3.4 g of monohydrate. Many makers state 3–5 g.
Powder or capsules?
Powder is cheaper, capsules handier on the road. 3–5 g takes 4–6 capsules.
Is loading needed?
No. Taking 3–5 g daily brings the creatine store to the same level within a few weeks.
Who should not take creatine?
Children and pregnant or breastfeeding women. With a kidney condition, ask a doctor.
