Strong

evidence for creatine monohydrate

Our honest take

Micronised creatine monohydrate in a small tub. The unflavoured version is pure creatine, and each 3.4 g scoop gives 3 g of creatine, the amount the authorised claim is based on. The Raspberry Lemon version adds sucralose, flavourings and beetroot colour. The tubs are small, so it costs more per gram than bigger tubs of plain monohydrate.

  • You want a small tub to try creatine
  • You like the Raspberry Lemon flavour
  • Cost per dose matters: larger tubs are cheaper per gram
  • You want a 5 g daily dose from one scoop
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.
