Your muscles store it as phosphocreatine and draw on it to regenerate ATP during short, hard efforts – a heavy set, a sprint, the last few reps. Supplementing raises those stores, which supports strength and power output and helps with recovery between sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMonohydrate is the form that research keeps coming back to. Newer formats get marketed as improvements, but none has been shown to beat plain monohydrate on results, and it remains the cheapest per gram.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn the 3 g serve.\u003c\/strong\u003e Common guidance for daily maintenance sits between 3 g and 5 g. One scoop here puts you at the lower end of that range, which is enough to maintain saturation for most people once stores are full. If you want to sit at 5 g, take a heaped scoop and a half. Worth knowing when you're comparing serves-per-bag against a brand using a 5 g scoop – the bags aren't the same size in practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreatine works through accumulation rather than acute effect, so consistency matters more than timing. Taking it daily, including on rest days, is what keeps muscle stores topped up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing Your Option\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUnflavoured\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single ingredient: creatine monohydrate. Nothing added, nothing to clash with whatever you're mixing it into, which makes it the pick if you're stirring it through a pre-workout, a shake or a coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStrawberry Mango Crush\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSweet and tropical, coloured with beetroot and gardenia yellow extract. Zero sugar, 0.4 calories a serve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTropical Berry Soda\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMixed berry with a soda-style edge, coloured with beetroot extract. Same zero-sugar, 0.4-calorie profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll three deliver the same 3 g of creatine. The flavoured versions use a slightly larger scoop to carry the flavour, so the creatine dose is identical even though the scoop isn't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow To Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd one heaped scoop to 250–300 ml of chilled water and mix well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake it before or after training.
