How to Buy Creatine

In this article we will go over what to look for when buying creatine. Everyone should read The Beginners Guide To Creatine before starting this article.

  • Are all creatine supplements the same?

No. Some supplements have impurities or fillers that can be harmful. Anytime you are buying something that you are going to ingest you want to be sure it is a high quality product. You want to be sure that the supplement is 100% pure creatine monohydrate and contains no fillers. Many companies will provide a lab assay that shows the purity of the product. You want to stay away from very cheap supplements that have no data to prove their purity.

  • Does that mean the more I pay the better the creatine?

No. Sometimes you are paying for a companies ad campaign and marketing - not their product. In fact many companies use the same plant to produce their creatine. They buy in bulk and then just stick their labels on the bottle. One company might charge $60 for 1 Kilo and another company may charge $30 for the same 1 Kilo. Different label - but identical product. So, you can get high quality creatine at good prices - you just need to dig a little.

  • So, what should I look for when finding a place to buy creatine?

Obviously you want to get a good price, but more importantly you want a company that stands behind their products. What good is saving a few bucks if the stuff you buy is sub-par? We suggest you always buy from a place with a 100% money back guarantee. In addition, you want a place that has good customer service in case you have a problem.

  • I found creatine monohydrate that is 100.8% pure - how can this be?

Remember from our article - "Different types of creatine", that creatine monohydrate is 88% creatine and 12% water. Creatine monohydrate that tests out at exactly 88% creatine is said to be 100% pure. What this means is that if you test creatine monohydrate and it has a slightly higher ration of creatine to water - say 88.8% to 11.2% - it will have over a 100% purity rating.
