Creatine Monohydrate
Creatine Monohydrate- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

Comments about Optimum Nutrition Micronized Creatine Powder:
This stuff gave me intense stomach-aches (and the expected by product... woof) about 5 times a day so I stopped using it in less than two weeks. I didn't do a typical cycle (load etc.), opting instead to only take a scoop before and after lifting 6 times a week. For what it's worth, it was my first time using creatine in about 4 years.
As far as taste, there is none. Mix it with water and it's fine, albeit more chalky/textured than advertised.
It is extremely cheap, and from what I've heard about creatine, it's all the same. Worth the risk for the price, especially if you've used creatine a lot in the past and haven't experienced/ built up a tolerance for creatine's side-effectsPros
