Creatine monohydrate in capsule form, effective but hampered by high price per serving and low dosage.
Quantity: 300
This product contains creatine monohydrate, the most extensively researched and scientifically supported form of creatine for enhancing athletic performance. However, it is presented in capsule form with a relatively low dosage of 2.25g per serving, falling short of the commonly recommended daily dose of 3-5g for optimal saturation. This necessitates taking multiple capsules to achieve an effective dose, which, combined with its high price of $0.75 per serving, makes it a less cost-efficient option compared to bulk monohydrate powders available from other brands.
- Contains Creatine Monohydrate, the most scientifically validated and effective form of creatine.
- Capsule form offers convenience and portability, avoiding the need for mixing.
- Very high price per serving compared to most creatine monohydrate powders.
- Low dosage per serving (2.25g) means multiple capsules are needed to reach the commonly recommended 3-5g daily dose, increasing the actual daily cost.
- Limited number of servings per container for the price.
- Adequate hydration is crucial when supplementing with creatine to minimize the risk of adverse effects, particularly kidney strain.
- Individuals with pre-existing kidney conditions should consult a healthcare professional before using creatine.

Categories
Creatine 60.0
As a creatine product, it delivers the most proven form but falls short on value due to its high price per serving and lower dose per capsule, making it less competitive against bulk monohydrate powders.
Goals
Muscle Gain 60.0
Creatine monohydrate is excellent for muscle gain, but the lower dose per serving requires doubling up, making it less convenient and more expensive to achieve the full benefit for muscle hypertrophy and strength.
Fitness 60.0
Supports increased power output and endurance in high-intensity activities due to the proven ingredient. However, the inconvenient dosing and higher cost make it a less optimal choice for consistent fitness support over time.
Energy 55.0
Creatine replenishes ATP, vital for energy during intense exercise. While the ingredient is sound, the cost-effectiveness and insufficient per-serving dosage make it a less efficient energy supplement compared to higher-dosed or powdered options.
