What Should You Look for in a Creatine?

Pure single-ingredient monohydrate, nothing added — here's what a clean creatine looks like.

The cleanest creatine is the simplest: pure creatine monohydrate, ideally a single-ingredient label with nothing else added. This is one of the easiest supplements to keep clean, because a quality product is literally one ingredient — no flavors, sweeteners, dyes, or fillers needed. If a creatine product has a long ingredient list, that's a flag, not a feature.

A few things to look for:

  • Pure creatine monohydrate — a single-ingredient label.
  • Micronized (optional) — a finer grind that mixes more easily; same compound.
  • No proprietary blends — you want plain creatine, not creatine plus mystery additives.
  • No added sweeteners or colors — unnecessary in a creatine product.

Skip the "advanced" blends and flavored versions loaded with extras; plain monohydrate is the proven, clean default. More in creatine monohydrate basics.
