Creatine Monohydrate

Of all the forms of creatine sold — hydrochloride, ethyl ester, buffered blends — monohydrate is the one with the research behind it. When studies reference creatine, they are almost always referencing creatine monohydrate. It's the benchmark every other form gets compared against, and it's the form in our formula.

The name refers to the molecular structure: a creatine molecule bound to one water molecule. It's a simple, stable form that mixes and stores well — practical reasons it became the standard alongside its research pedigree.

We didn't reach for a newer or more expensive variant to look innovative. In a category full of proprietary blends promising more, the honest choice is the one that's actually been studied: plain creatine monohydrate, at a meaningful dose. It's also produced through synthesis rather than animal extraction, which keeps it consistent with the plant-based formula.
