    I've used H&B creatine and its bit too artificial and gritty compared to nut x for example. Even by looking inside the tub you can see how shiny and sugary it is. (very hard to explain but just doesnt mix well)
    Good value though

    Any Creatine Mono is fine as long as its "Creapure".

    Just to point out that thats for the High performance (the 2nd & 3rd option you posted) Creatine which is loaded with different ingredients.

    If you go for the 1st option which is "Pure Creatine Monohydrate powder" 5g of powder will be more then 6 tablets...I could be making this up but off the top of my head from reading around over the years most good quality Mono's are 99% pure...Creapure is 99.99% pure, is the .99% really worth the extra money???

    Creapure is a German company that is said to produce the purist form of creatine.
    Id go for a creatine supplement brand that uses Creapure, but I could just be picky.

    Alot of people on here use myprotein.com, here's an example of Creapure from them:

    And here's what I use:

    Im considering begining to take creatine to help improve my strength but is it true that i will bloat no matter what type i take? Ive recently lost alot of weight from training hard and im not looking to bulk up full of water retention if thats all thats going to happen? Can anyone give me any feedback as to whether or not i can take it without getting this bloating?

    Is the "purest" form of creatine slightly better than non-creapure brands?
    Yes. Slightly

    Is it worth paying extra for this benefit?
    No. Not in any way imo

    If they are the same privce obvious go for the better one as its more creatine in g per euro. But if it costs you way more to get this level of purity, isn't is better to simply use a 1/10 of a gram more?
