Our verdicts
Creatine Monohydrate Gummies
Create is one of the few creatine gummies that has held up to independent testing, and NSF certification adds real assurance. If a daily candy is what keeps you consistent, it is a legitimate choice. You pay a steep premium and some sugar for the format, though, and plain monohydrate powder remains the better buy for most people.

Creatine Monohydrate Powder
Nutricost is the value leader among mainstream creatine brands: the same 5 g of monohydrate as the big names for about $0.22 a serving, with a scoop included and strong buyer satisfaction. It lacks a named third-party certification, so competitive athletes should look elsewhere, but for everyday lifters it is hard to beat on cost.
