Here is how to find the one that costs you least per shake.Three questions to ask at the shelf How many serves are in the tub? Divide the price by that number.

Springvale has a full bay of creatine: plain monohydrate bags, flavoured tubs and capsules. This guide answers the questions we hear most at the counter.Powder, flavoured or capsules?

Shop Legit Supps Creatine Monohydrate, Optimum Nutrition Micronized Creatine or the full creatine range.Common questions How much? The International Society of Sports Nutrition position stand gives 3 to 5 grams a day as the usual maintenance dose. Do I need to load?
