What is in Legit Creatine Monohydrate
The ingredient list has one item: micronised creatine monohydrate. There is no flavour, sweetener or filler. Legit describes it as tasteless and odourless, so it mixes into water, a protein shake or another drink without changing the taste.
Why monohydrate. The Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) creatine fact sheet says about 99% of the safety and efficacy research is on creatine monohydrate powder, and that there is no scientific reason to take another form. It is also very well absorbed, at more than 99%.
What creatine does. Your muscles store creatine and phosphorylcreatine to power short, intense efforts, but only enough for about 8 to 10 seconds of maximal exercise. Supplementing raises those stores. The AIS places creatine monohydrate in Group A of its Sports Supplement Framework, meaning strong scientific evidence for use in specific situations in sport. It reports benefits for brief, high-intensity efforts under 30 seconds, especially repeated bouts, and says that combined with resistance training, creatine improves outcomes such as strength and lean body mass.
What the ISSN says. The International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN) position stand calls creatine monohydrate the most effective nutritional supplement currently available to athletes for increasing high-intensity exercise capacity and lean body mass during training. It found no compelling scientific evidence that short or long-term use harms otherwise healthy people.
Who it suits
- Lifters and anyone in a strength or power training block.
- Team sport and sprint athletes who make repeated short, hard efforts.
- Vegetarians and people who eat little meat or fish. The AIS says they tend to have the lowest muscle creatine and the largest potential increase.
- People who want one plain ingredient they can add to a shake they already drink.
Who should check first
- Pregnant or breastfeeding: talk to your doctor before use.
- Kidney disease, other medical conditions or regular medication: check with your doctor before starting.
- Under 18: the ISSN sees creatine as acceptable for younger athletes only in serious, supervised training, with a good diet, proper knowledge of creatine and no more than recommended doses. Talk to a doctor or sports dietitian.
- Weight-class athletes: the AIS notes body mass can rise by up to about 1 to 2 kg from extra water stored with muscle creatine.
- Drug-tested athletes: we could not confirm a batch-testing certification for this product. Check the Sport Integrity Australia app and our guide for drug-tested athletes before use.
How to use Legit Creatine Monohydrate
Legit's directions: mix 1 serve (5 g) with 250 ml of chilled water, and take it on both training and non-training days. Taking it every day matters more than the exact time, because creatine works by keeping your muscle stores topped up.
- No loading: the AIS says 3 to 5 g a day fills muscle creatine stores over about 4 weeks.
- Optional loading: to get there faster, the AIS describes 4 doses of 5 g a day with meals for 5 days, then 3 to 5 g a day.
- With food: the AIS suggests taking creatine with a meal, and calls having it with your post-training meal prudent advice.
- Mix and drink: drink it soon after mixing, because the AIS notes creatine quickly breaks down to creatinine once it is in liquid.
- Tummy upset: the AIS says skipping the loading phase and taking creatine with meals can help avoid it.

How it compares
- R1 Creatine by Rule 1: also creatine monohydrate, but Rule 1 sells flavoured versions (Blue Raspberry and Fruit Punch) as well as unflavoured, which suits people who like to drink creatine on its own.
- ATP Science Creapure Creatine Monohydrate: uses Creapure, a branded creatine monohydrate, for people who prefer a named raw material.

Legit creatine review: our verdict
Legit Creatine is about as simple as creatine gets, which is exactly what most people need: 5 g of micronised creatine monohydrate per serve, nothing else, and three pack sizes up to a 1 kg bag with 200 serves. It suits lifters, sprint and team sport athletes, and vegetarians, who tend to see the biggest rise in muscle creatine. Because it is tasteless, it disappears into a shake you already drink. The drawbacks are that it is unflavoured, which matters if you like to drink creatine on its own, and that we could not confirm a batch-testing certification, so drug-tested athletes should check carefully first.
FAQs
How much Legit creatine should I take a day?
One 5 g serve a day, as the label directs. That sits inside the 3 to 5 g a day the AIS gives for keeping muscle creatine topped up.
Do I need to load creatine?
No. Loading only gets you there faster. The ISSN notes that a lower daily dose, such as 3 g a day for 28 days, raises muscle creatine gradually instead of within about a week.
When should I take creatine?
Whenever you will remember it every day. The AIS suggests having it with a meal, and taking it with your post-training meal is a sensible habit.
Will creatine make me gain weight?
It can, but the gain is water, not fat. The AIS says creatine increases body water and body mass, by up to about 1 to 2 kg, and that this returns to normal over 4 to 6 weeks after you stop.
Can women take creatine?
Yes. The AIS dose guidance is not split by sex; it is based on body mass, about 0.03 g per kg a day, which it gives as 3 to 5 g a day. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk to your doctor first.
How long does each tub last?
At one 5 g serve a day, the 300 g tub lasts 60 days, the 500 g tub 100 days and the 1 kg tub 200 days.
