Plain creatine monohydrate, the most studied form of creatine, as unflavoured micronised powder and capsules. Choose Applied Nutrition Creatine Monohydrate in 500g and 1kg bags, Trec Creatine 100% and Creatine Micronized 200 Mesh capsules, OstroVit, 6PAK and Dorian Yates 300g tubs.
Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise. The benefit is obtained with a daily intake of 3 g, taken every day rather than only on training days. Monohydrate is the form used in most of the research, which is why it is the default choice for most lifters and sprinters.
Micronised and 200 mesh both mean the powder is milled very fine, so it mixes more easily and feels less gritty. If you compete in a drug-tested sport, an Informed Sport certified product, batch-tested for banned substances, is the safer pick. To compare value, divide the price by the number of 3 to 5 g servings: a 300 g tub gives 100 servings at 3 g or 60 at 5 g. Creatine monohydrate is very stable, so a large bag kept sealed and dry will last to its best-before date.

Several capsules are needed to reach a 3 g serving, and the exact number is printed on the label. The 400-capsule tub is better value if you take creatine daily.
At 3 g a day a 300 g tub lasts 100 days; at 5 g a day it lasts 60 days.
Water, juice, a protein shake or even yoghurt. It has almost no taste, so most people add it to something they already have each day.
