When assessing costs, take into account how many servings you will get, rather than just going by the cost per tub. Chances are you probably know all there is to know about Monster Supplements, but if you don’t then here’s a little more detail about them.

It comes in 100g, 500g and 1kg pouches and in three different flavours: apple and lime, mixed berry and unflavoured.You get the same decent creatine and a good dose with these but at five tablets per serving you fly through them as you need to be taking creatine everyday to achieve its potential. This powder contains 3g of creatine plus 34g of carbohydrates in a 45g serving, which makes it ideal for those looking to load their body with the energy required before a long training session. Their rage pre-workout works wonders during my SBD routines and actually functions like intended, something I have not had from other preworkouts. Bulk Powders also offers a Creapure creatine monohydrate powder, which is considerably more expensive though still good value compared to other Creapure products.

Creatine powder isn’t very water-soluble, so when you try diluting it on its own it can sink to the bottom of the glass or create a gritty texture.

USN’s Creatine Anabolic powder comes in two flavours – cherry punch and orange – which will each make your pre-workout shake that little bit more enticing. I just don't rate this creatine monohydrate, especially because i rate their powdered version so highly, it just seems to be such a switch, between a decent powder which will last you for 60 days worth per tub against tablets which will last you less than two weeks. Most creatine supplements come as unflavoured powder, which you mix with water in a similar way to making a protein shake.
