evidence for tri-creatine malate

Our honest take

Unflavoured tri-creatine malate: 4.5 g gives 3 g of creatine, the amount the authorised claim is based on. The malate form has very little research behind it and no evidence it beats monohydrate, and you need more powder for the same creatine. Plain monohydrate is better value.

You specifically want tri-creatine malate
You want the best-proven form: plain monohydrate

The science

Tri-creatine malate· evidence: Limited

Tri-creatine malate is creatine bound to malic acid. It is marketed as easier on the stomach or better absorbed, but there is very little published research on it in people and no good evidence that it works better than plain creatine monohydrate. Because part of each gram is malic acid, it also provides less creatine per gram than monohydrate.

It still provides creatine, so the authorised creatine claim applies when you get 3 g of creatine a day.

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.

Typical dose: Enough to provide 3 g of creatine a day; check the label

Safety: Same general precautions as creatine monohydrate. Speak to your GP first if you have a kidney condition.
