What is creatine monohydrate?
Creatine is a compound made from three amino acids — arginine, glycine and methionine. The body makes some of its own, and it is also found in meat and fish. Creatine monohydrate is creatine bound to one molecule of water. It is the form used in most of the published research, and the form most other types of creatine are compared against.
The forms you'll see on the shelf
Standard powder is plain, unflavoured creatine monohydrate. Micronised powder is milled to a finer particle size so it stirs into water more easily; the creatine itself is the same. Creapure® is a brand of creatine monohydrate made in Germany to a published purity specification. Chewables and capsules carry the same ingredient in a different format, usually at a higher price per gram. Other forms, such as creatine HCL, are a different compound — see monohydrate vs HCL.
How to read a creatine label
Check three things. First, the ingredient list: a single-ingredient product lists only creatine monohydrate. Second, the serve size and the number of serves in the tub, which together let you work out the price per serve and compare a 250g tub with a 1kg one fairly. Third, any testing claim: programs such as HASTA test batches independently, which is a stronger assurance than a manufacturer's own certificate.
For how much to take and when, see how to take creatine. Store the tub sealed, somewhere cool and dry, and follow the directions on the label.
Why creatine, in three lines
01
It refills your fast energy
Creatine helps regenerate ATP, the fuel your muscles burn in the first seconds of hard effort — more repeats before the tank empties.
02
It's the most studied supplement there is
Hundreds of controlled trials over three decades, consistently pointing the same way for strength, lean mass and recovery.
03
Monohydrate is still the benchmark
Every fancier form is measured against monohydrate, and none has clearly beaten it — it's also the best value.

Does creatine cause hair loss?
The whole worry traces back to a single 2009 study of twenty rugby players that measured a hormone, not hair. Here's what it actually found — and what the fifteen years since have shown.
