Strong

evidence for creatine monohydrate

Our honest take

Fizzy tablets that dissolve into a flavoured drink. Each tablet gives 2 g of creatine monohydrate (1.75 g of creatine), which is below the 3 g a day the authorised claim is based on. To reach 3 g you would need almost two tablets a day, so a tube lasts about 10 days. That makes it an expensive way to take creatine, though handy for travel.

  • You want something easy to drop in a water bottle while travelling
  • You like a fizzy drink and dislike powders
  • You want an effective daily dose from one serving: one tablet is below 3 g of creatine
  • Cost per dose matters: this is one of the dearest options
  • You are vegetarian: the Blood Orange flavour is coloured with carmine
The science

Creatine monohydrate· evidence: Strong

Creatine monohydrate is the most studied sports supplement there is, with hundreds of controlled trials in people over more than 30 years. It is also the form used in almost all of that research, which is why we treat it as the benchmark other creatine forms have to beat.

The effect builds up as your muscle creatine stores fill, which takes roughly three to four weeks at a steady daily dose, or about a week if you choose to load. You do not need to load or to cycle off.

Research into other uses, such as effects on the brain or on mood, is at an early stage and not established, so we make no claims about them.

Authorised health claim
Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3 g of creatine.

Daily creatine consumption can enhance the effect of resistance training on muscle strength in adults over the age of 55 years. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3 g of creatine, together with resistance training that increases in workload over time and is repeated at least three times a week for several weeks, at an intensity of at least 65–75% of one repetition maximum.

Typical dose: 3–5 g a day, taken every day

Safety: Well tolerated by healthy adults at 3–5 g a day. Expect a small gain in body weight (water held in muscle) in the first weeks. Larger doses taken at once can upset the stomach. Creatine can raise creatinine on a blood test, so tell your doctor you take it. Speak to your GP first if you have a kidney condition.

Always check the pack you receive, as manufacturers sometimes update recipes.
