The Best Creatine Supplement
With the discovery of its benefits and effects on muscle growth, creatine in its many forms has taken a permanent place as one of the best bodybuilding and sports supplements on the market. Any professional athlete or body builder has most likely taken the best creatine supplements at some point or another. Most athletes and nearly all bodybuilders still do.
One of the biggest benefits is that it allows you to workout harder for a longer period of time. Plenty of energy with a long workout equals faster, better results. With all that energy stored up in the muscles… the limits are up to you.
Since it has become such a staple in this market hundreds of companies come out with different products every year. With all of the advertising its hard to choose just one and know which is right for you. One has to wonder which is the best creatine and why. Isn’t all the same? The actual variations between the types versus the amount of formulas on the market is quite large.
Many different formulas are developed for specific purposes. It’s not all the same, in fact there are four main different types of creatine on the market. Each main type has dozens of products made from it.
During a workout regimen, in order to get the best benefits with great results… a quality product is needed. Only top of the line formulas will be reviewed on CreatineBest.com with analytical science backing it up.
These categories include:
- Drinks

All of the studies and reviews are done with an unbiased approach and are based solely on the specific contents, ingredients, testimonials of users, what the pros use and why. This way there is a fair medium and all supplements get a chance to be the best creatine for that category.
As new supplements come out onto the market, if they have the capability to match with the current top listed they will be reviewed in comparison. This way any new supplement can beat out the current top rated. “Survival of the fittest” is an appropriate pun.

Best Creatine Monohydrate
One of the most popular and most used on the market is creatine monohydrate. Just because it’s the most popular doesn’t mean that it is the best creatine supplement. There is good reason for this. One of the most common side effects of monohydrate is some bloating. This doesn’t occur in everyone but it is very common.
The mono-hydrate causes the body to store up water which causes the bloating effect. This is only temporary and occurs when first starting a regimen with this type. This is one of the reasons I would personally choose creatine ethyl ester or hydrochloride.
Regardless, this is still the main choice among may of the top bodybuilders. After reviewing some of the most popular forms of this supplement and analyzing the ingredients… we may have found the best creatine monohydrate. Instead of finding the top 5, there are 7 supplements that made the list.

When choosing any type, in my opinion, its best to get the powder. Any supplement be it capsules, drinks or tablets are all made from the powders. So when choosing the best creatine ethyl ester supplement, I’m going to go with the powder form. Is kind of like buying in bulk.
The “ester” in creatine ethyl ester is also found in fat tissues. This ester molecule helps transport it into the muscle cell tissue for better absorption. Compared to others (especially mono-hydrate) ethyl ester has a clear advantage. Ester will also not contribute to the bloat factor that some experience with mono-hydrate form.
#5. Nutrabulk Creatine Ethyl Ester
Comes in powder form. Their recommended dosage is 3 grams. Includes a scoop. Has 333 servings per container.

#4. Muscle Gauge Nutrition Creatine Ethyl Ester
MGN’s creatine ethyl ester comes in capsules. Comes in 120 capsules, 30 servings per bottle or 240 capsules with 60 servings. Since these are in pure capsule form, this is a great option if you don’t want to use the powders.

What Is Atp?
If you have ever done any research on creatine and what it does, you have probably heard of ATP. ATP stands for (adenosine tri-phosphate). Its a molecule that stores energy for the cells and can be found throughout the body. Think of it as a fuel tank for cells.
The energy obtained from ATP is used for cellular functions during any type of activity. Its synthesized by the body’s mitochondria. During any physical activity when the cells use the energy, a phosphate molecule is taken away from this molecule making it adenosine di-phosphate. In this form the body cannot use it as energy so one of 2 things needs to happen. The body needs to produce more ATP molecule which also requires energy or find a supplement molecule capable of donating a phosphate molecule.
That’s precisely on of the capabilities of creatine supplements. Creatine has the ability to donate one of it’s phosphate molecules to turn the used ADP into ATP for energy. Essentially completing a cycle of energy to be used by the muscles to perform for longer periods of time.At least until there is more more creatine to produce ATP molecules with.
Simple, yet incredibly effective science.

The Best Creatine Capsules
Creatine Capsules are very convenient and are perfectly measured. They usually have 2.5 grams each serving which is perfect for daily maintenance dosage. In my personal opinion additives like rice flour, di-calcium phosphate, etc are not necessary and do not add any value to the product. Logically it makes sense that the top quality best creatine capsules will have the product, gelatin and possibly cellulose. Essentially the creatine and the capsule itself is all that is needed.

Creatine Loading
Before starting a workout regimen its important to take a loading dosages. Creatine loading is recommended to build it up in the muscles to be used for the initial start of the workout. This is also known as saturating, its not necessary but many bodybuilders do this.
When your muscles start using ATP, the creatine will act as an energy storage for the muscles. The best type to use for loading would be the powders.

Side Effects Of Creatine
Since it is a substance that occurs in our bodies naturally, its actually a safe substance. Much like other natural water soluble substances, creatine that is not used it simply removed by the body. Copious amounts (overdosage) can cause the body to evacuate it… this would happen with any supplement as a natural response.
Its important to make note that there has never been any recorded side effects of creatine in any studies.
Whatever supplement that your taking be sure to follow the directions on the label since different companies may have different ingredients for specific results.

The Effects Of Creatine
Effects On The Brain:
According to a study from the Department of Neurology and Nueroscience at Weill Medical College of Cornell University, creatine effects neurological diseases in a beneficial way. Supplementation may have nueroprotective abilities against Huntington’s and Parkinson’s disease where “defective” mitochondria has the opposite effect of what it is intended to do and degrades brain health. It can also help to counter these neurological diseases.
