How to Read a Creatine Label: A 7-Point Quality Checklist
- Look for "creatine monohydrate": a 2022 critical review found it is the only form with substantial evidence for bioavailability, efficacy and safety.
- The label should state grams of creatine per serving; the ISSN supports 3 to 5 g a day, or about 20 g a day for 5 to 7 days to load.
- Avoid proprietary blends that hide the creatine dose, and compare products by cost per effective dose, not tub price.

How we work
Fitness information you can check
The Fitness Falcon is an independent publication. This is how we research, date and correct what we publish.
Built on reliable sources
We research articles from public health agencies, peer-reviewed studies and official product specs, and our current guides link the sources they use.
Dated and kept current
Time-sensitive details such as prices, features and guidelines show when we checked them, and we update articles when they change.
Clear about limits
Reviews say when they are research-based rather than hands-on. Health content is general information, not medical advice.
