Browse creatine powders, capsules and tablets and creatine gummies. Compare the creatine amount in a full labelled serving and the number of servings per pack. Pack weight and tablet count alone do not tell you how much creatine a product supplies.
Choosing the right format
Which format fits your routine?
Powders require measuring and mixing. Capsules and tablets avoid mixing, but a serving may include several pieces. Gummies can be convenient, but check the number needed for the stated serving, plus sugar, sweeteners and other ingredients. Choose based on the exact label and how you intend to use it.
Compare like-for-like value
Check the stated creatine ingredient and amount, not just a blend’s total weight. Calculate how many complete servings the pack contains and include delivery in the comparison. A combined protein-and-creatine product should be compared using both its ingredients and serving instructions.
What does tested mean?
Read what a testing claim actually covers. General lab testing and a recognised sport certification are different checks. If sport certification matters to you, verify the exact product and certification with the scheme rather than assuming it applies to every flavour.
Does creatine replace a weight-loss plan?
Creatine is not a substitute for a meal plan or coaching. For help organising food, shopping and exercise, compare ShapeShifters Pro membership. Follow the selected supplement’s directions and check with a pharmacist or clinician if medical circumstances affect suitability.

Powder, capsules or gummies: a practical comparison
There is no single best format for every routine. Compare the amount of creatine supplied by a complete serving, then decide whether mixing powder or taking individual pieces is more convenient. A pack containing 90 gummies does not necessarily contain 90 servings: the label may define several gummies as one serving. The same applies to capsules and tablets.
For powders, use the stated serving weight and directions rather than estimating the amount by the size of a scoop. Flavoured powders and ingredient blends may contain other ingredients, so the pack’s total weight cannot be treated as the weight of creatine. Check the actual ingredients and nutrition for the selected product.
Creatine powder vs capsules: compare value fairly
| Format | What to compare on the label | Buying trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Unflavoured single-ingredient powder | Pack weight, ingredient identity and measured portion | Needs measuring and mixing; easy to compare by grams when the ingredient is confirmed |
| Flavoured powder or blend | Creatine amount per portion, separately from total powder weight | Other ingredients mean a 5g scoop need not supply 5g creatine |
| Capsules or tablets | Creatine per piece and pieces per labelled serving | No mixing, but several pieces may make one serving |
| Gummies | Creatine per piece, pieces per serving and other ingredients | Portable format; compare complete servings and read storage instructions |
Worked example: compare the same amount
These are arithmetic examples, not dose instructions or current capsule offers. If a 300g pack contains only the stated creatine ingredient and costs £8.99, dividing it into 3g comparison portions gives 100 portions at about 9p each. A 5g comparison portion gives 60 portions at about 15p each. Follow the selected product’s directions when using it.
For an illustrative £18 pack containing 120 capsules with 0.75g of the same creatine ingredient in each capsule, the pack contains 90g in total. Four capsules supply the 3g comparison amount: 30 portions at 60p each. Comparing £8.99 with £18, or comparing 120 capsules with 100 powder portions, misses that difference.
Calculation: pack price ÷ total grams of the stated creatine ingredient × comparison grams. Add delivery to the pack price and use the same ingredient and comparison amount for each option. For a blend, calculate total creatine from the declared amount per serving; do not substitute total blend weight.
Start with a product, then verify the exact option
View Warrior Creatine Monohydrate in the shop → and compare the selected size and flavour with the powder, capsule and gummy categories above. Our linked retailer lists several variants, so check the chosen option’s ingredients, directions and current delivered price. A sport-testing claim also needs to apply to the exact product.
To compare two packs, divide each delivered price by its number of complete labelled servings. Then check whether those servings supply comparable amounts of creatine. A lower price per serving is not a fair comparison if the amounts differ. Subscription discounts may involve recurring orders; read the purchase terms before choosing one.
Questions to answer before you buy
- What is the stated creatine ingredient and amount per serving?
- How many pieces or grams make one serving?
- Are there added sugars, sweeteners, allergens or other active ingredients?
- Does a testing or certification claim apply to this exact product?
- What are the current delivery cost, stock status and purchase terms?
Where does it fit with food and training?
A supplement is a separate purchase from structured coaching. If the main challenge is planning meals, completing a food shop or following workouts, start with that support rather than assuming an extra supplement answers the problem. Read the product directions and obtain appropriate clinical advice when a health condition, pregnancy or medication may affect suitability.
