We tested more than 40 creatine products, examining the solubility, flavor, and price, among other factors to provide a well-rounded list. Using the <a href=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/barbend-supplement-testing-methodology\/\">BarBend Supplement Testing Methodology<\/a>, here are the factors we considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Creatine Type:<\/strong> Common creatine types include creatine monohydrate powder, creatine HCL, creatine nitrate, creatine HMB, and Kre-Alkalyn, each with their own benefits. This widely-studied supplement is also available as a powder, capsule, and a chewable gummy. We tried all of these different types.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Solubility: <\/strong>That refreshing pre-, intra-, or post-workout beverage can be unsatisfying if the powder is difficult to dissolve. We personally mixed and shook up all these powders, noting how easily the formulations dissolved in the process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Taste:<\/strong> We tested a number of different flavors, comparing our experiences to other reviewers. If the consensus was a positive reaction, we made note of it in this round-up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Price: <\/strong>We\u2019ve included premium creatine options at a variety of price points to create a well-rounded list that\u2019s appealing to athletes of all budgets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Third-Party Testing:<\/strong> We prioritized products that had some sort of third-party testing completed. This can help ensure that you&#8217;re actually getting the product that&#8217;s listed on the label in the written amounts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"best-creatine-overall-transparent-labs-creatine-hmb\">Best Creatine Overall: Transparent Labs Creatine HMB<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two wpcd-coupon-id-98233\" onclick=\"window.open('https:\/\/barbend.com\/go\/transparent-labs-creatine-hmb\/', '_blank');\">\r\n\r\n           <div class=\"wpcd-col-1-4\">\r\n\r\n    \t\t<div  class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-mobile-title mobile\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wpcd-coupon-title\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tTransparent Labs Creatine HMB\r\n                \t<\/span>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t \t\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n        <figure>\r\n\r\n            <img class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-img\" src=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Transparent-Labs-Creatine-HMB-Coupon-275x275.jpg\" alt=\"Transparent Labs Creatine HMB\" title=\"Transparent Labs Creatine HMB\">\r\n\r\n        <\/figure>\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-title\">\r\n\r\n        \r\n\r\n\r\n            <\/div>    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"wpcd-col-3-4\">\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-header desktop\">\r\n\r\n            <div>\r\n\r\n            \r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wpcd-coupon-title\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tTransparent Labs Creatine HMB\r\n                \t<\/span>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t \t\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n         <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-description\">\r\n\r\n            <span class=\"wpcd-full-description\"><p class=\"p1\">We like that this product includes hydroxymethyl butyrate, the main metabolite in leucine that prevents muscle protein breakdown.

As far as formulation goes, this product earned a high score.<em> \u201cTransparent Labs Creatine gets a 4.5 out of 5 for its formula,\u201d <\/em>Chelsea Rae Bourgeois, RDN, says. <em>\u201cThe ingredients are clinically dosed and baked by science.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transparent Labs Creatine HMB packs 5,000mg of creatine monohydrate per serving, which is ideal, as research suggests taking doses of three to five grams per day for at least 28 days may help increase creatine levels in your muscles. (<a href=\"https:\/\/jissn.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s12970-017-0173-z#citeas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">11<\/a>)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This product includes 1.5g of HMB (hydroxymethyl butyrate), which has been associated with positive post-workout recovery, allowing your tired, damaged muscles to bounce back quicker for better performance. (<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/29676656\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">24<\/a>) <em>\u201cThe addition of vitamin D is helpful, as a large percentage of the population has low or deficient vitamin D levels,\u201d <\/em>says Jillian Kubala, RD. <em>\u201cThis can impact energy, muscle function, recovery, and more.\u201d <\/em>In this product, you get 60 percent of your daily value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As our best creatine powder, this supplement is available in 11 different flavors with no artificial sweeteners. <em>\u201cI tried Black Cherry and didn\u2019t love it as much as I have loved some other creatine powders. It tasted a little watered down, even with the recommended amount of water,\u201d<\/em> notes our tester who\u2019s also a certified nutrition coach. That being said, she gave it a 4 out of 5 for taste, as some people may prefer the lighter flavor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We do wish this creatine dissolved a little better. <em>\u201cWhen I shook up this creatine, I noticed the floaties didn\u2019t dissolve completely,\u201d<\/em> according to our tester who gave the solubility a 3.5 out of 5. So, if you don\u2019t have an electric stirrer or blender, you may want a more soluble product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although we love this product, we don\u2019t love the price tag. One 30-serving bottle costs $49.99, which is about $1.66 per serving. Since this is pricier than most other products, we had to give this category a 1 out of 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Factors<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Rating<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Formulation<\/td><td>4.5 out of 5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Flavor<\/td><td>4 out of 5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Solubility<\/td><td>3.5 out of 5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cost per Serving<\/td><td>1 out of 5<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"p4-blocks-expandable-container__button-wrapper\">\n        <a class=\"p4-blocks-expandable-container__toggle\" onclick=\"expandableContainerToggle('p4-block_66c69ae87283e')\">Read More<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Read our full <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/transparent-labs-creatine-hmb-review\/\"><strong><em>Transparent Labs Creatine HMB Review<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"best-creatine-for-athletes-sports-research-creatine\">Best Creatine for Athletes: Sports Research Creatine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two wpcd-coupon-id-269139\" onclick=\"window.open('https:\/\/barbend.com\/go\/sports-research-creatine-monohydrate\/', '_blank');\">\r\n\r\n           <div class=\"wpcd-col-1-4\">\r\n\r\n    \t\t<div  class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-mobile-title mobile\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wpcd-coupon-title\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSports Research Creatine Monohydrate\r\n                \t<\/span>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t \t\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n        <figure>\r\n\r\n            <img class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-img\" src=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/sports-research-creatine-monohydrate-275x275.png\" alt=\"Sports Research Creatine Monohydrate\" title=\"Sports Research Creatine Monohydrate\">\r\n\r\n        <\/figure>\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-title\">\r\n\r\n        \r\n\r\n\r\n            <\/div>    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"wpcd-col-3-4\">\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-header desktop\">\r\n\r\n            <div>\r\n\r\n            \r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wpcd-coupon-title\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSports Research Creatine Monohydrate\r\n                \t<\/span>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t \t\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n         <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-description\">\r\n\r\n            <span class=\"wpcd-full-description\"><p>This unflavored micronized creatine is available in two different size options and is Informed Sport certified, vegan, and gluten-free.

However, our testers actually liked how unflavored it actually is, giving the taste a 5 out of 5. <em>&#8220;I like mixing my creatine with BCAAs or other supplements and this one truly adds no flavor at all,&#8221; <\/em>they said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section id='block_6e07b2822f0721e212c50f366c8344ab' class='p4-blocks-carousel-image'>\n    <div id='carousel-block_6e07b2822f0721e212c50f366c8344ab' class='swiper p4-blocks-carousel-image__carousel'>\n        <div class='swiper-wrapper'>\n\n                                                <div class='cb-image-grid__image swiper-slide p4-blocks-carousel-image__slide' lightbox-toggle>\n                                        <img class='p4-blocks-carousel-image__slide-image' src='https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Untitled-design-2.png' alt='A BarBend tester trying a scoop of Sports Research creatine.' title='Untitled design (2)'>\n                    <\/div>\n                                                <div class='cb-image-grid__image swiper-slide p4-blocks-carousel-image__slide' lightbox-toggle>\n                                        <img class='p4-blocks-carousel-image__slide-image' src='https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/sports-research-creatine-monohydrate-mixing-spoon.jpg' alt='Sports Research Creatine Monohydrate' title='sports-research-creatine-monohydrate-mixing-spoon'>\n                    <\/div>\n                                                <div class='cb-image-grid__image swiper-slide p4-blocks-carousel-image__slide' lightbox-toggle>\n                                        <img class='p4-blocks-carousel-image__slide-image' src='https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/sports-research-creatine-monohydrate-powder-and-container.png' alt='Sports Research Creatine Monohydrate powder' title='sports-research-creatine-monohydrate-powder-and-container'>\n                    <\/div>\n            \n        <\/div>\n        <div class='swiper-navigation swiper-navigation'>\n            <div class='swiper-button-prev carousel-block_6e07b2822f0721e212c50f366c8344ab-prev'><\/div>\n            <!-- <div class='swiper-pagination carousel-block_6e07b2822f0721e212c50f366c8344ab-pagination'><\/div> -->\n            <div class='swiper-button-next carousel-block_6e07b2822f0721e212c50f366c8344ab-next'><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    \n    \n            <script>\n                (() => {\n                    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {\n                        window.Swiper = Swiper;\n                        \nvar carousel_block_6e07b2822f0721e212c50f366c8344ab = new Swiper('#carousel-block_6e07b2822f0721e212c50f366c8344ab', {\n    slidesPerView: 1,\n    spaceBetween: 30,\n    grabCursor: true,\n    loop: true,\n    \n    pagination: {\n        el: '.carousel-block_6e07b2822f0721e212c50f366c8344ab-pagination',\n        clickable: true,\n    },\n    navigation: {\n        nextEl: '.carousel-block_6e07b2822f0721e212c50f366c8344ab-next',\n        prevEl: '.carousel-block_6e07b2822f0721e212c50f366c8344ab-prev',\n    },\n    \n});                    });\n                })();\n            <\/script>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p>After mixing one scoop in a cup with a spoon, we did notice a little sediment at the bottom, which earned the solubility a 4.5 out of 5. However, when we mixed the product with <a href=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/best-electrolyte-supplements\/\">electrolytes<\/a>, we didn&#8217;t notice any settling. So, our team definitely recommends combining the product with another supplement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The price point for this creatine is approachable, too, at only $17.95 for 10.58 ounces. However, we do wish the product label mentioned how many servings you get per container. It does include a scooper (one scoop is one serving), so you don&#8217;t need to worry about portions. Having the total servings per container would give us a better idea of cost, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Factors<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Rating<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Formulation<\/td><td>5 out of 5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Flavor<\/td><td>5 out of 5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Solubility<\/td><td>4.5 out of 5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cost per Serving<\/td><td>4 out of 5<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"p4-blocks-expandable-container__button-wrapper\">\n        <a class=\"p4-blocks-expandable-container__toggle\" onclick=\"expandableContainerToggle('p4-block_66c69ae873469')\">Read More<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"best-creatine-for-muscle-growth-jacked-factory-growth-surge\">Best Creatine for Muscle Growth: Jacked Factory Growth Surge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two wpcd-coupon-id-134210\" onclick=\"window.open('https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Workout-Builder-Creatine-L-Carnitine-L-Tartrate\/dp\/B0773CCFXD\/?maas=maas_adg_DD88921681107D90AEB975D81B83BB9B_afap_abs&ref_=aa_maas&tag=maas', '_blank');\">\r\n\r\n           <div class=\"wpcd-col-1-4\">\r\n\r\n    \t\t<div  class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-mobile-title mobile\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wpcd-coupon-title\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tJacked Factory Growth Surge\r\n                \t<\/span>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t \t\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n        <figure>\r\n\r\n            <img class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-img\" src=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Jacked-Factory-Growth-Surge-Post-Workout-275x275.jpeg\" alt=\"Jacked Factory Growth Surge\" title=\"Jacked Factory Growth Surge\">\r\n\r\n        <\/figure>\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-title\">\r\n\r\n        \r\n\r\n\r\n            <\/div>    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"wpcd-col-3-4\">\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-header desktop\">\r\n\r\n            <div>\r\n\r\n            \r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wpcd-coupon-title\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tJacked Factory Growth Surge\r\n                \t<\/span>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t \t\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n         <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-description\">\r\n\r\n            <span class=\"wpcd-full-description\"><p>This post workout supplement from Jacked Factory boasts a dose of creatine for muscle growth, <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">l-carnitine l-tartrate for muscle recovery, and betaine anhydrous for power output.

(<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/15321791\/#:~:text=As%20an%20osmolyte%2C%20betaine%20protects,the%20human%20liver%20and%20kidneys.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">6<\/a>) <em>&#8220;Together, all of these ingredients work to improve blood flow and nitric oxide production to maximize your anaerobic performance,&#8221;<\/em> according to Chelsea Rae Bourgeois, RDN, who gave the formulation a 4 out of 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We enjoyed the vast variety of flavor options, too. Our tester (and certified nutrition coach) tried the Cherry Limeade specifically, and had some thoughts. <em>\u201cI really liked the flavor, but there was a little bit of an aftertaste.\u201d<\/em> It wasn\u2019t enough to keep her from buying the product again \u2014 she still gave the taste a 5 out of 5 rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to mixing a drink for your training, though, we highly recommend giving Growth Surge a fair shake (pun intended). We rated the solubility a 3 out of 5, as there were a lot of floating chunks. For those who hate clumping, this may not be the best pick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost per serving isn&#8217;t ideal, unfortunately. One 30-serving container costs $39.99, which is about $1.33 per serving. We had to give Jacked Factory a 1 out of 5 in this category, as you can definitely find cheaper options. However, if you want a creatine that\u2019s focused on building muscle, this is a good choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Factors<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Rating<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Formulation<\/td><td>4 out of 5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Flavor<\/td><td>5 out of 5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Solubility<\/td><td>3 out of 5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cost per Serving<\/td><td>1 out of 5<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"p4-blocks-expandable-container__button-wrapper\">\n        <a class=\"p4-blocks-expandable-container__toggle\" onclick=\"expandableContainerToggle('p4-block_66c69ae873aad')\">Read More<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"best-budget-creatine-nutricost-creatine-monohydrate\">Best Budget Creatine: Nutricost Creatine Monohydrate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two wpcd-coupon-id-55521\" onclick=\"window.open('https:\/\/bit.ly\/Nutricost-Creatine-Monohydrate-BB', '_blank');\">\r\n\r\n           <div class=\"wpcd-col-1-4\">\r\n\r\n    \t\t<div  class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-mobile-title mobile\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wpcd-coupon-title\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tNutricost Creatine Monohydrate\r\n                \t<\/span>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t \t\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n        <figure>\r\n\r\n            <img class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-img\" src=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Nutricost-Creatine-Monohydrate-275x275.png\" alt=\"Nutricost Creatine Monohydrate\" title=\"Nutricost Creatine Monohydrate\">\r\n\r\n        <\/figure>\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-title\">\r\n\r\n        \r\n\r\n\r\n            <\/div>    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"wpcd-col-3-4\">\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-header desktop\">\r\n\r\n            <div>\r\n\r\n            \r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wpcd-coupon-title\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tNutricost Creatine Monohydrate\r\n                \t<\/span>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t \t\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n         <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-description\">\r\n\r\n            <span class=\"wpcd-full-description\"><p>This extremely inexpensive creatine is micronized for extra solubility.<\/p><\/span>\r\n\r\n            <span class=\"wpcd-short-description\"><\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n        <\/div>      \r\n\r\n        <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-info\">\r\n\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-coupon\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n                    <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-code\">\r\n\r\n                        <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"wpcd-btn-55521 wpcd-btn masterTooltip wpcd-deal-button\" title=\"Click Here To Get This Deal\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/Nutricost-Creatine-Monohydrate-BB\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"return false;\">\r\n\r\n                            <span class=\"wpcd_deal_icon\"><\/span>Shop Amazon\r\n                        <\/a>\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n            <div id=\"clear\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <div id=\"clear\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n       \r\n    <div class=\"clearfix\"><\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-call-out-note is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"specs\">Specs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Creatine per serving:<\/strong> 5,000mg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Type of Creatine:<\/strong> Creatine Monohydrate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flavors:<\/strong> Unflavored, Blue Raspberry, Fruit Punch, Watermelon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sweeteners Used:<\/strong> Sucralose<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Total Price:<\/strong> $32.95<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Servings per container:<\/strong> 100<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Third-Party Testing:<\/strong> Yes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n    <section id='block_c2d47b25c04f29f589902638c201037d' class='p4-blocks-pros-cons-list p4-blocks-pros-cons-list--default'>\n\n        \n        <div class='p4-blocks-pros-cons-list__columns-container p4-blocks-pros-cons-list__columns-container--default'>\n                            <div class='p4-blocks-pros-cons-list__column p4-blocks-pros-cons-list__column--default'>\n                    <div class='p4-blocks-pros-cons-list__list-title p4-blocks-pros-cons-list__list-title-pros p4-blocks-pros-cons-list__list-title--default'>\n                        Pros                    <\/div>\n                    \n                        <div class='p4-blocks-pros-cons-list__list-item p4-blocks-pros-cons-list__list-item--default'>\n                            <span class='p4-blocks-pros-cons-list__list-icon--pros'><?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>\n<!-- Generator: Adobe Illustrator 27.2.0, SVG Export Plug-In .

Gainful does, and that\u2019s what makes it our pick for the best subscription-based creatine. After getting set up with a subscription, you can check with an R.D. to answer questions about <a href=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/creatine-loading-phase\/\">creatine loading phases<\/a> or additional benefits the supplement may offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the product itself, it\u2019s a straightforward creatine monohydrate with a clinically-backed dose of 5,000 milligrams per serving. It\u2019s also free of preservatives and any artificial flavors, dyes, or sweeteners. Our tester didn\u2019t experience any bloating or GI discomfort after use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s only available in an Unflavored option, and our tester was pleased to report they didn\u2019t taste it at all when mixing with milk. In terms of solubility, they noticed a bit of powder stuck to the side of their cup after mixing it with a handheld mixer, but overall experienced no issues. <em>\u201cAfter mixing it in a shaker cup, I let it sit for roughly an hour and didn\u2019t notice any separation,\u201d<\/em> they add. Flavor received a 5 out of 5, while solubility scored a 4.5 out of 5.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We like that Gainful offers its creatine in 28-, 56-, and 84-serving containers, but we wish the customer could save a few bucks by buying in bulk. The cost per serving \u2014 around 78 cents \u2014 remains the same no matter which option you buy. While it\u2019s not the most affordable creatine we\u2019ve tested, the access to an R.D. helped bump up our value score to a 4 out of 5.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, while we admire Gainful\u2019s commitment to clean ingredients, we do wish this product had some mark of third-party testing that can provide the peace of mind that the label delivers what it promises and includes no banned substances.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Factors<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Rating<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Formulation<\/td><td>4 out of 5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Flavor<\/td><td>5 out of 5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Solubility<\/td><td>4.5 out of 5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cost per Serving<\/td><td>4 out of 5<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"p4-blocks-expandable-container__button-wrapper\">\n        <a class=\"p4-blocks-expandable-container__toggle\" onclick=\"expandableContainerToggle('p4-block_66c69ae874adc')\">Read More<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"best-creatine-monohydrate-jacked-factory-creatine-monohydrate\">Best Creatine Monohydrate: Jacked Factory Creatine Monohydrate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two wpcd-coupon-id-134208\" onclick=\"window.open('https:\/\/barbend.com\/go\/jacked-factory-creatine-monohydrate\/', '_blank');\">\r\n\r\n           <div class=\"wpcd-col-1-4\">\r\n\r\n    \t\t<div  class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-mobile-title mobile\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wpcd-coupon-title\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tJacked Factory Creatine Monohydrate\r\n                \t<\/span>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t \t\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n        <figure>\r\n\r\n            <img class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-img\" src=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Jacked-Factory-Creatine-Monohydrate-275x275.jpeg\" alt=\"Jacked Factory Creatine Monohydrate\" title=\"Jacked Factory Creatine Monohydrate\">\r\n\r\n        <\/figure>\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-title\">\r\n\r\n        \r\n\r\n\r\n            <\/div>    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"wpcd-col-3-4\">\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-header desktop\">\r\n\r\n            <div>\r\n\r\n            \r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wpcd-coupon-title\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tJacked Factory Creatine Monohydrate\r\n                \t<\/span>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t \t\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n         <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-description\">\r\n\r\n            <span class=\"wpcd-full-description\"><p>Jacked Factory's Creatine Monohydrate is about as straightforward a creatine as they come.

She gave it a 5 out of 5 in the taste department however we recognize that some athletes may prefer at least one or two flavor options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section id='block_45651e8dc50dbd7c148af4eb0d5d7f22' class='p4-blocks-carousel-image'>\n    <div id='carousel-block_45651e8dc50dbd7c148af4eb0d5d7f22' class='swiper p4-blocks-carousel-image__carousel'>\n        <div class='swiper-wrapper'>\n\n                                                <div class='cb-image-grid__image swiper-slide p4-blocks-carousel-image__slide' lightbox-toggle>\n                                        <img class='p4-blocks-carousel-image__slide-image' src='https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/jacked-factory-creatine-opening-container.jpg' alt='Our tester mixing a dose of Jacked Factory Creatine Monohydrate' title='jacked-factory-creatine-opening-container'>\n                    <\/div>\n                                                <div class='cb-image-grid__image swiper-slide p4-blocks-carousel-image__slide' lightbox-toggle>\n                                        <img class='p4-blocks-carousel-image__slide-image' src='https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/jacked-factory-creatine-shaking-bottle-1024x576.jpg' alt='A BarBend tester shaking up creatine after a workout.' title='jacked-factory-creatine-shaking-bottle'>\n                    <\/div>\n                                                <div class='cb-image-grid__image swiper-slide p4-blocks-carousel-image__slide' lightbox-toggle>\n                                        <img class='p4-blocks-carousel-image__slide-image' src='https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/jacked-factory-creatine-logo-front-container-1024x576.jpg' alt='A jar of Jacked Factory creatine being tested in the BarBend gym.' title='jacked-factory-creatine-logo-front-container'>\n                    <\/div>\n            \n        <\/div>\n        <div class='swiper-navigation swiper-navigation'>\n            <div class='swiper-button-prev carousel-block_45651e8dc50dbd7c148af4eb0d5d7f22-prev'><\/div>\n            <!-- <div class='swiper-pagination carousel-block_45651e8dc50dbd7c148af4eb0d5d7f22-pagination'><\/div> -->\n            <div class='swiper-button-next carousel-block_45651e8dc50dbd7c148af4eb0d5d7f22-next'><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    \n    \n            <script>\n                (() => {\n                    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {\n                        window.Swiper = Swiper;\n                        \nvar carousel_block_45651e8dc50dbd7c148af4eb0d5d7f22 = new Swiper('#carousel-block_45651e8dc50dbd7c148af4eb0d5d7f22', {\n    slidesPerView: 1,\n    spaceBetween: 30,\n    grabCursor: true,\n    loop: true,\n    \n    pagination: {\n        el: '.carousel-block_45651e8dc50dbd7c148af4eb0d5d7f22-pagination',\n        clickable: true,\n    },\n    navigation: {\n        nextEl: '.carousel-block_45651e8dc50dbd7c148af4eb0d5d7f22-next',\n        prevEl: '.carousel-block_45651e8dc50dbd7c148af4eb0d5d7f22-prev',\n    },\n    \n});                    });\n                })();\n            <\/script>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p>However, she did note that it didn\u2019t dissolve entirely \u2014 <em>\u201cThere was a little sediment that gathered at the bottom over time,\u201d<\/em> Meier said, giving the product a 4 out of 5 for solubility.

This is right in range for your daily recommended 3 to 5 grams, but most of the best creatine brands dose their creatine monohydrate products closer to five grams, making this one a bit on the low side. (<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/12660409\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">27<\/a>)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We gave these gummies a 5 out of 5 for swallowability. <em>\u201cThey\u2019re so easy to eat and delicious,\u201d <\/em>Meier said. <em>\u201cI genuinely look forward to eating these.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meier\u2019s enthusiasm can\u2019t hide the fact that this is an expensive supplement, though. Swoly\u2019s 30-serving bottle costs $34.99, putting these gummies at $1.17 per serving \u2014 almost $0.75 per serving higher than other creatines, earning a 1 out of 5 for cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing to note: Creatine gummies are relatively new, according to Bourgeois. <em>&#8220;Most research has looked at the effects of creatine powders,&#8221; <\/em>she says.<em> &#8220;There hasn&#8217;t

We like this pick for its impressive 5,000mg of micronized creatine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also appreciate Recharge\u2019s heightened focus on post-workout recovery, thanks to the corosolic acid. This ingredient is included to help improve exercise performance, though more research on the benefit is needed, Kubala says. Also, the 2.1 gram serving of carnitine has been linked to increased muscle mass, accompanied by weight loss and reduced physical and mental fatigue.

Our tester rated the taste (or lack-thereof) a 5 out of 5 \u2014 we consider this a big win for Onnit since a lot of \u201cunflavored\u201d powders aren\u2019t truly unflavored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This creatine is also a solid option for athletes, as it contains no ingredients outside of the creatine itself \u2014 you won\u2019t find any additional carbs, fats, or calories in this blend.<em> \u201cOnnit Creatine Monohydrate gets a 5 out of 5 for its formulation,\u201d <\/em>Chelsea Rae Bourgeois, RDN, says. <em>\u201cHard to give it any other score when it provides the upper end of the optimal range of creatine without any unnecessary fluff ingredients!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<section id='block_ddca83f2e6851bef454f4f2df285417e' class='p4-blocks-carousel-image'>\n    <div id='carousel-block_ddca83f2e6851bef454f4f2df285417e' class='swiper p4-blocks-carousel-image__carousel'>\n        <div class='swiper-wrapper'>\n\n                                                <div class='cb-image-grid__image swiper-slide p4-blocks-carousel-image__slide' lightbox-toggle>\n                                        <img class='p4-blocks-carousel-image__slide-image' src='https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/onnit-creatine-monohydrate-getting-scoop-1024x576.jpg' alt='A BarBend tester scooping Onnit creatine.' title='onnit-creatine-monohydrate-getting-scoop'>\n                    <\/div>\n                                                <div class='cb-image-grid__image swiper-slide p4-blocks-carousel-image__slide' lightbox-toggle>\n                                        <img class='p4-blocks-carousel-image__slide-image' src='https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/onnit-creatine-monohydrate-dumping-scoop.jpg' alt='Our tester mixing Onnit Creatine Monohydrate' title='onnit-creatine-monohydrate-dumping-scoop'>\n                    <\/div>\n            \n        <\/div>\n        <div class='swiper-navigation swiper-navigation'>\n            <div class='swiper-button-prev carousel-block_ddca83f2e6851bef454f4f2df285417e-prev'><\/div>\n            <!-- <div class='swiper-pagination carousel-block_ddca83f2e6851bef454f4f2df285417e-pagination'><\/div> -->\n            <div class='swiper-button-next carousel-block_ddca83f2e6851bef454f4f2df285417e-next'><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    \n    \n            <script>\n                (() => {\n                    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {\n                        window.Swiper = Swiper;\n                        \nvar carousel_block_ddca83f2e6851bef454f4f2df285417e = new Swiper('#carousel-block_ddca83f2e6851bef454f4f2df285417e', {\n    slidesPerView: 1,\n    spaceBetween: 30,\n    grabCursor: true,\n    loop: true,\n    \n    pagination: {\n        el: '.carousel-block_ddca83f2e6851bef454f4f2df285417e-pagination',\n        clickable: true,\n    },\n    navigation: {\n        nextEl: '.carousel-block_ddca83f2e6851bef454f4f2df285417e-next',\n        prevEl: '.carousel-block_ddca83f2e6851bef454f4f2df285417e-prev',\n    },\n    \n});                    });\n                })();\n            <\/script>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cIt dissolved really well for me,\u201d<\/em> our tester (and certified nutrition coach) noted, giving the solubility a 5 out of 5. This isn\u2019t something you\u2019ll find with all creatine monohydrates, and if you\u2019re stacking with a variety of other supplements, the small granule size is a huge plus \u2014 the last thing you want is your creatine clumping with your protein powder at the bottom of your shaker bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The five-gram dose is right on par for creatine monohydrates, and at $0.50 per serving, our team gave the price per serve a 3 out of 5. It\u2019s certainly not the priciest option on the market but you can find even cheaper products. Plus, there\u2019s no option to bulk buy, which some athletes may prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Factors<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Rating<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Formulation<\/td><td>5 out of 5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Flavor<\/td><td>5 out of 5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Solubility<\/td><td>5 out of 5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cost per Serving<\/td><td>3 out of 5<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"p4-blocks-expandable-container__button-wrapper\">\n        <a class=\"p4-blocks-expandable-container__toggle\" onclick=\"expandableContainerToggle('p4-block_66c69ae877d41')\">Read More<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>[Related: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/creatine-vs-pre-workout\/\"><strong><em>Creatine Vs.

Luckily, you can get creatine in pill form, too! And for those who prefer a pill over powder, we suggest Crazy Muscle Creatine Pills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;While they require you to swallow 3 pills to get the full dose, you do get 4.8 g of creatine monohydrate per serving,&#8221; <\/em>Chelsea Rae Bourgeois, RDN, says, giving the formula a 4 out of 5. <em>&#8220;There&#8217;s just some curiosity as to why they include creatine alpha-ketoglutarate and creatine pyruvate when they&#8217;re so understudied.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Bourgeois explains, there are three types of creatine in these pills, however, creatine monohydrate is really the form with the most supporting research. Nevertheless, the other two creatines are safe for must adults (always consult your doctor), they may just not be as effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We do like that this product offers bulk buy options, however, and it&#8217;s available on Amazon Prime, so there&#8217;s not much wait time. Our team did give the swallow-ability a 3.5 out of 5, though. The pills aren&#8217;t difficult to consume but you do have to take three per serving, which can be inconvenient, especially if you&#8217;re taking other capsule supplements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This product also has a pretty approachable price point.

Plus, you also get electrolytes, including calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium, so you stay hydrated during a sweaty workout session. We did have to ding the formula just a bit, though (it earned a 3.75 out of 5), as it contains a juice powder blend and sucralose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After trying the Lemon Lime flavor, our expert tester, Kate Meier, CPT, really enjoyed the taste. <em>\u201cI thought it tasted pretty yummy,\u201d <\/em>she said, giving the flavor a 4 out of 5. <em>\u201cIt\u2019s not overly sweet or sour \u2014 it\u2019s more in the middle. I\u2019m also a big fan of lemon lime flavored things, so I would absolutely drink this again.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After mixing this powder in a shaker cup, though, Meier did notice some issues with the solubility, giving this factor a 4 out of 5. <em>\u201cIf you look closely, you can notice that it doesn\u2019t fully dissolve, which some athletes may not love,\u201d<\/em> she said. <em>\u201cYou can definitely see little grain particles floating in the liquid.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our tester didn\u2019t notice any negative side effects, which was a big bonus. We do wish, however, that the formula were a little more price-friendly. One bag costs $44.99, which is about $1.49 per serving. You can definitely find more budget-friendly creatine supplements on this list, so we had to give Crazy Nutrition a 3 out of 5 here. Though, you can set up a subscription and save.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Factors<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Rating<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Formulation<\/td><td>3.75 out of 5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Flavor<\/td><td>4 out of 5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Solubility<\/td><td>4 out of 5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cost per Serving<\/td><td>3 out of 5<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"p4-blocks-expandable-container__button-wrapper\">\n        <a class=\"p4-blocks-expandable-container__toggle\" onclick=\"expandableContainerToggle('p4-block_66c69ae8787cc')\">Read More<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"best-creatine-for-beginners-bulk-supplements-creatine\">Best Creatine for Beginners: Bulk Supplements Creatine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two wpcd-coupon-id-55223\" onclick=\"window.open('https:\/\/barbend.com\/go\/bulk-supplements-creatine-monohydrate\/', '_blank');\">\r\n\r\n           <div class=\"wpcd-col-1-4\">\r\n\r\n    \t\t<div  class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-mobile-title mobile\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wpcd-coupon-title\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tBulkSupplements Creatine Monohydrate\r\n                \t<\/span>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t \t\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n        <figure>\r\n\r\n            <img class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-img\" src=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/BulkSupplements-Creatine-Monohydrate-275x275.jpg\" alt=\"BulkSupplements Creatine Monohydrate\" title=\"BulkSupplements Creatine Monohydrate\">\r\n\r\n        <\/figure>\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-title\">\r\n\r\n        \r\n\r\n\r\n            <\/div>    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"wpcd-col-3-4\">\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-header desktop\">\r\n\r\n            <div>\r\n\r\n            \r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wpcd-coupon-title\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tBulkSupplements Creatine Monohydrate\r\n                \t<\/span>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t \t\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n         <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-description\">\r\n\r\n            <span class=\"wpcd-full-description\"><p>This creatine is clean and simple.

Our team gave the flavor a 4 out of 5. <em>\u201cHowever, I noticed this bag doesn\u2019t come with a scooper,\u201d<\/em> our tester says, which is a bit of a downside for those looking for a reliable measuring tool.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also like that Bulk Supplements offers capsules in addition to powder form creatine. Though you shouldn\u2019t experience any issues with the solubility here, capsules are a nice alternative for those who need a more convenient option. You can choose from four capsule options, including either vegetarian or gelatin capsules at either 100 or 300 capsules per bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The powder comes in six buying options from three and a half ounces all the way up to 55 pounds. The price per serving will vary, depending on the size you get, but the standard 1.1-pound bag is only $21.96, which is about $0.22 per serving. Needless to say, this one earned a 5 out of 5 for cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Factors<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Rating<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Formulation<\/td><td>4.5 out of 5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Flavor<\/td><td>4 out of 5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Solubility<\/td><td>4.5 out of 5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cost per Serving<\/td><td>5 out of 5<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"p4-blocks-expandable-container__button-wrapper\">\n        <a class=\"p4-blocks-expandable-container__toggle\" onclick=\"expandableContainerToggle('p4-block_66c69ae87938d')\">Read More<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Read our full <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/bulk-supplements-creatine-review\/\"><strong><em>Bulk Supplements Creatine Review<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"best-creatine-for-women-bear-balanced-creatine-gummies\">Best Creatine for Women: Bear Balanced Creatine Gummies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two wpcd-coupon-id-248983\" onclick=\"window.open('https:\/\/barbend.com\/go\/bear-balanced-creatine-gummies\/', '_blank');\">\r\n\r\n           <div class=\"wpcd-col-1-4\">\r\n\r\n    \t\t<div  class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-mobile-title mobile\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wpcd-coupon-title\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tBear Balanced Creatine Gummies\r\n                \t<\/span>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t \t\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n        <figure>\r\n\r\n            <img class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-img\" src=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/bear-balanced-creatine-gummies-275x275.png\" alt=\"Bear Balanced Creatine Gummies\" title=\"Bear Balanced Creatine Gummies\">\r\n\r\n        <\/figure>\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-title\">\r\n\r\n        \r\n\r\n\r\n            <\/div>    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"wpcd-col-3-4\">\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-two-header desktop\">\r\n\r\n            <div>\r\n\r\n            \r\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wpcd-coupon-title\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tBear Balanced Creatine Gummies\r\n                \t<\/span>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t \t\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n         <div class=\"wpcd-coupon-description\">\r\n\r\n            <span class=\"wpcd-full-description\"><p>For those who don't want to add yet another powder to their supplement stack, we highly recommend Bear Balanced Creatine Gummies.

Everyone\u2019s body is different and has different needs. That being said, we did love this pick for athletes who want a convenient gummy option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This formula is pretty solid, including 3,000 milligrams of creatine monohydrate, 50 milligrams of l-theanine, and 50 milligrams of l-tyrosine. While we do like these beneficial additions, we do wish there were more creatine per serving. This pick still gives you a clinically-effective dose, but most creatine supplements tend to pack five grams. For that reason, we gave the formulation a 4 out of 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section id='block_8f360eed06ded5886ecc1095b5dd8c09' class='p4-blocks-carousel-image'>\n    <div id='carousel-block_8f360eed06ded5886ecc1095b5dd8c09' class='swiper p4-blocks-carousel-image__carousel'>\n        <div class='swiper-wrapper'>\n\n                                                <div class='cb-image-grid__image swiper-slide p4-blocks-carousel-image__slide' lightbox-toggle>\n                                        <img class='p4-blocks-carousel-image__slide-image' src='https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/bear-balanced-gummies-1024x576.png' alt='A BarBend tester with a handful of Bear Balanced Gummies' title='bear-balanced-gummies'>\n                    <\/div>\n                                                <div class='cb-image-grid__image swiper-slide p4-blocks-carousel-image__slide' lightbox-toggle>\n                                        <img class='p4-blocks-carousel-image__slide-image' src='https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2024-08-08-at-7.40.17-AM-1024x577.png' alt='' title='Screenshot 2024-08-08 at 7.40.17 AM'>\n                    <\/div>\n                                                <div class='cb-image-grid__image swiper-slide p4-blocks-carousel-image__slide' lightbox-toggle>\n                                        <img class='p4-blocks-carousel-image__slide-image' src='https:\/\/barbend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2024-08-08-at-7.40.25-AM-1024x578.png' alt='' title='Screenshot 2024-08-08 at 7.40.25 AM'>\n                    <\/div>\n            \n        <\/div>\n        <div class='swiper-navigation swiper-navigation'>\n            <div class='swiper-button-prev carousel-block_8f360eed06ded5886ecc1095b5dd8c09-prev'><\/div>\n            <!-- <div class='swiper-pagination carousel-block_8f360eed06ded5886ecc1095b5dd8c09-pagination'><\/div> -->\n            <div class='swiper-button-next carousel-block_8f360eed06ded5886ecc1095b5dd8c09-next'><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    \n    \n            <script>\n                (() => {\n                    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {\n                        window.Swiper = Swiper;\n                        \nvar carousel_block_8f360eed06ded5886ecc1095b5dd8c09 = new Swiper('#carousel-block_8f360eed06ded5886ecc1095b5dd8c09', {\n    slidesPerView: 1,\n    spaceBetween: 30,\n    grabCursor: true,\n    loop: true,\n    \n    pagination: {\n        el: '.carousel-block_8f360eed06ded5886ecc1095b5dd8c09-pagination',\n        clickable: true,\n    },\n    navigation: {\n        nextEl: '.carousel-block_8f360eed06ded5886ecc1095b5dd8c09-next',\n        prevEl: '.carousel-block_8f360eed06ded5886ecc1095b5dd8c09-prev',\n    },\n    \n});                    });\n                })();\n            <\/script>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p>We thought these were super easy to consume, too.

One serving is about $1.60, which is more than a dollar per serving more than most other picks on this list.

It helps your muscles use energy but it can also help with building strength, injury prevention, and overall brain health, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/drugs-supplements-creatine\/art-20347591\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mayo Clinic<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside of supplements, you can find creatine in red meat and seafood. However, these foods contain far less creatine than supplements. So, many people tend to opt for a creatine powder, capsule, or gummy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"benefits-of-creatine-supplements\">Benefits of Creatine Supplements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Creatine is one of the few supplements on the market with a large number of studies supporting its effects. It may also have some serious benefits for your energy and power levels. Read a more in-depth analysis of each below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Improved Power\/Energy:<\/strong> Because of its ability to help you produce more ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is at-the-ready energy, creatine may help improve power output, potentially improving your performance by 10 to 15 percent. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC8228369\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">12<\/a>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>More Muscle Growth: <\/strong>Some studies show creatine can help build muscle. This is, in part, due to creatine\u2019s ability to help the body crank out extra reps, which can lead to more strength over time. Other research has also found creatine to be linked to lean muscle gains. (<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/12433852\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">13<\/a>)&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cognitive Health:<\/strong> Creatine may also have benefits for mental health, as some research suggests it may help alleviate symptoms in some people with depression. That being said, more research is needed in this area. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7916590\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">14<\/a>)&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-boxshadow\">&#8220;<em>Besides helping the muscles to heal faster after strenuous workouts, some studies show that cognitive function may be improved especially as it pertains to depression<\/em>,&#8221; says Dr. Kimberly Langdon, M.D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"other-creatine-supplements-weve-tested\">Other Creatine Supplements We&#8217;ve Tested<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We have tested a <em>lot<\/em> of creatine, folks. Not every product is going to make our list, obviously, so we thought we\u2019d include a few other products that made an impression. Check them out below.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/go\/ghost-size\/\"><strong>Ghost Size<\/strong><\/a><strong>: <\/strong>Ghost Size is, well, a lot.

Fear not, though. Finding the ideal creatine supplement for your needs can be easy if you look at the right factors before adding a pick to your cart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"price\">Price<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We provide a pretty serious price range on this list with picks ranging from 33 cents per serving all the way up to $3 per dose. These prices fluctuate depending on the formulation, ingredient list, dosage, and type of creatine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dosage\">Dosage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The correct dosage varies depending on personal preference. Generally, a loading phase involves intaking five grams of creatine monohydrate (approximately 0.03 grams of creatine per kilogram of bodyweight) four times daily for five to seven days. Then, creatine stores can be maintained by intaking three to five grams daily. Some athletes can even take up to 10 grams of creatine daily if their activity levels call for it. (<a href=\"https:\/\/jissn.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s12970-017-0173-z#citeas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">11<\/a>)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, it\u2019s best to look for a creatine that\u2019s going to provide you with an optimal amount of servings from the start. Do a little math to see how much creatine you\u2019ll likely need for a given stretch, and try to find a pick that can facilitate your consumption without requiring re-orders on the regular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"type-of-creatine\">Type of Creatine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several types of creatine to choose from, and depending on your needs, one may be better suited than another. If budget and research-backed supplements are what drive you, creatine monohydrate may be your best bet. Micronized creatine is a more dissolvable formulation, meaning it has better mixability than other forms. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.transparentlabs.com\/blogs\/all\/what-is-micronized-creatine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">17<\/a>)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a sensitive stomach, opting for a buffered formula or creatine with a different pH (such as kre-alkalyn) may be more digestible. You may also opt to use creatine HMB, which may help promote strength gains. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6835217\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">9<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"formulation\">Formulation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no right or wrong formulation but there is likely one pick that\u2019s best for you. Creatine supplements come in pills or powders. So, if you have a hard time swallowing pills, a powder may be your best bet. If you prefer to mix your creatine with your other supplements like beta-alanine or a post-workout supplement you may want to go with an unflavored powder option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXdYeIx6McW0mz7aoA-_dEwTPMF9uY3l04BMQKC5XEZJ_PovJHl8Oh2KfI-y8dlMmiGDOsDFRomQIFsG-vnfq71rnrvWOalBLV31W07RZeFJyJSfC3wExlRHLVHjZASmnvJGKcKGYWZ3u3KJ5Xsvf6ruz7Q?key=cYEIkK33TCA3OYlBBrzpkQ\" alt=\"A BarBend tester shaking up creatine after a workout.\" style=\"width: 760px;\">A BarBend tester shaking up creatine after a workout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, some creatine supplements come with other ingredients. For example, you may prefer a pre-workout where creatine is just one of many ingredients, or a supplement where creatine is the star of the show. This all depends on your goals, your preferences, and your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>[Related: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/creatine-before-or-after-a-workout\/\"><strong><em>Should You Take Creatine Before or After a Workout?<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>]<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-call-out-reading is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"potential-risks-and-side-effects-of-creatine\">Potential Risks and Side Effects of Creatine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before adding any new supplement (even <a href=\"https:\/\/barbend.com\/best-pre-workout-supplements\/\">a pre-workout<\/a>) to your regular routine, it\u2019s best to consult a healthcare professional, especially if you have any pre-existing conditions.
