Creatine Monohydrate

Creatine monohydrate is one of the most widely used forms of creatine. At Fitsport you will find monohydrate powders, capsules, tablets and flavored products. Compare the exact amount of creatine per serving, the full ingredient list, the package size and the price. Because the same form of creatine comes in different formats, your choice also depends on how you prefer to take it.

How is creatine monohydrate different from creatine?

Creatine is the substance, and monohydrate is one of its forms. So when you choose creatine monohydrate, you are also choosing creatine. If you want to compare other forms or blends as well, browse the main creatine category. On this page you can choose monohydrate products specifically.

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; this claim applies to adults performing high intensity exercise. It is not a promise of results in any particular sport, nor a supplement that replaces training.

Powder, capsules or tablets?

First choose a form that will be convenient to take according to the label:

• Creatine monohydrate powder can be mixed with the liquid stated by the manufacturer. A simpler composition is convenient when you want only monohydrate without flavorings.
• Capsules are easy to take with you. Compare how many capsules make up a serving, as one capsule does not necessarily contain the full amount highlighted on the label.
• Tablets, including chewables, offer another way to take it. Check the sweeteners, flavor and the number of tablets per serving.

In this category you can compare Amix Creatine Monohydrate capsules, Nano Supps monohydrate powder and XXL Nutrition Creatine Chewables tablets. The form alone is no basis for claiming that one product will deliver a better athletic result.

Micronized creatine monohydrate and flavored products

Micronized creatine monohydrate is monohydrate with smaller particles. This is a physical property of the product that matters for mixing and convenience. It does not in itself confirm a higher creatine dose or a better effect than the same amount of another monohydrate.

When choosing a flavored product, the full ingredient list matters. Part of the powder weight may consist of flavorings, sweeteners or other additives, so the powder serving and the amount of creatine do not necessarily match. Our range also includes products with caffeine – consider them separately, especially if you already take a pre-workout supplement or other sources of caffeine.

If the label shows the Creapure mark, check the raw material information for that particular product. Not every monohydrate is Creapure. This mark and the word "micronized" indicate different product characteristics, so they should not be treated as synonyms.

How to read the serving size and directions for use

Start with two separate figures: the serving size and the amount of the substance in it. The label may list creatine monohydrate and, next to it, the creatine it provides. Do not confuse these entries when assessing a particular product's composition.

For example, the table for Amix Creatine Monohydrate 220 caps lists a serving of 4 capsules and 3000 mg of creatine monohydrate. So the highlighted amount is not the amount in one capsule. This is an example from a specific label, not a general dose for every monohydrate.

Follow the directions for the product you choose. Measure powder according to its label, not with another supplement's scoop. When using a blend, also check the serving of its other ingredients. Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.

What does the price of creatine monohydrate depend on?

The price of creatine monohydrate depends on the package size, the number of servings, the raw material and added ingredients. Pure monohydrate powders are easy to compare by equal weight, but the total weight of a flavored product does not show the amount of monohydrate alone.

For capsules and tablets, work out the cost per serving. For example, a 220-capsule package with a label serving of 4 capsules contains 55 servings. Divide the package price by 55 to compare it with the cost per serving of other products. When calculating, do not change the serving stated by the manufacturer.

At Fitsport you can compare creatine monohydrate online and choose the package and the way of taking it that suit you. If the figures in the ingredient table are unclear, our team will help you compare them.
