What type of creatine should I take, and what brand should I take?
First of all, you are looking to take pure Creatine Monohydrate powder. There’s all sorts of different creatine products out there, and you don’t want any of them. You want just Creatine Monohydrate. You don’t want anything combined with it, you don’t want any other form of creatine, you don’t want a product that just happens to contain creatine, you don’t want flavored creatine (it’s completely tasteless and odorless, by the way), you don’t want creatine capsules. You just want plain old Creatine Monohydrate powder. If it’s micronized, that’s even better. Micronized just means it will mix a bit easier. As for a specific brand, I use and fully recommend Optimum Nutrition’s Micronized Creatine Powder, which is made with “Creapure,” a creatine monohydrate widely regarded as the highest quality stuff out there.
