What is creatine monohydrate? A practical guide

Creatine is a compound your body makes and also obtains from foods such as meat and fish. Much of it is stored in muscle, where it helps supply energy for short, intense efforts. Creatine monohydrate is the most widely studied supplemental form.

What does the research cover?

Research has examined repeated high-intensity activity, including resistance exercise and sprinting. Results vary between people. Creatine is not an instant stimulant and it does not replace training, sleep or a balanced diet.

What does “monohydrate” mean?

It describes the chemical form of the ingredient. A more expensive formula is not automatically more effective. Start by reading the ingredient list, net weight and directions rather than judging the packaging alone.

What should you check before buying?

• The actual product brand and sealed packaging.
• Net weight and price per 100g.
• Ingredients, directions, warnings and best-before information.
• The total delivered price and a clear support contact.
