Q: Is creatine monohydrate the same as creatine?

Creatine monohydrate is one form of creatine. Other forms include creatine HCl and buffered creatine, but most creatine powders you'll see are creatine monohydrate.

Q: What's the difference between micronised and standard creatine monohydrate?

Both are creatine monohydrate. Micronised creatine is milled into finer particles so it mixes more easily, while standard monohydrate is usually the lowest cost per serve.

Q: What's the difference between Creapure and creatine monohydrate?

Creapure is a branded creatine monohydrate made in Germany by AlzChem. Look for the Creapure logo on the pack if you want this specific source.

Q: What is Purest creatine?

Purest is a grade of creatine monohydrate used by some brands. Check the product page or label for purity and sourcing details.

Q: How many serves are in a 500g or 1kg tub of creatine monohydrate?

It depends on the serving size on the label. At 5g per serve, a 500g tub has about 100 serves and a 1kg tub about 200. At 3g per serve, it's about 166 and 333.

Q: How much creatine monohydrate should I take?

Always follow the serving size on your product label. Most creatine monohydrate powders list a daily serve of around 3 to 5g.

Q: Should I buy unflavoured or flavoured creatine monohydrate?

Unflavoured creatine is easy to add to water, juice or a protein shake. Flavoured creatine is designed to be mixed with water on its own.

Q: Can I mix creatine monohydrate with protein powder?

Yes. Many people add unflavoured creatine monohydrate to their protein shake. Follow the directions on both product labels.

Q: Why isn't my creatine monohydrate dissolving?

Standard creatine monohydrate can settle at the bottom of a glass. Stir it well before drinking, or choose a micronised powder if you'd like it to mix more easily.

Creatine Monohydrate Buying Guide

Shop creatine monohydrate from Genetix Nutrition, Optimum Nutrition, Switch Nutrition, Applied Nutrition and EHP Labs.

Last Updated: Monday 19th October 2026

What Is Creatine Monohydrate?

Creatine monohydrate is creatine bonded with one water molecule. It's the most common form of creatine sold in Australia and the main ingredient in most creatine powders, from basic unflavoured tubs to micronised, Creapure® and flavoured options.

At Nutrition Warehouse, we stock a wide range of creatine monohydrate powders, capsules and flavoured formulas. Comparing different forms? Start with our creatine supplements range, see which products customers rate highest in our Top 10 Creatines for 2026, or take the Creatine Quiz.

Standard vs Micronised vs Creapure vs Purest

All four are creatine monohydrate. The difference is particle size, where the creatine is made and how it's graded. Here's how they compare:

Type	What it is	How to spot it	Price per serve
Standard monohydrate	Regular creatine monohydrate powder	"Creatine monohydrate" on the label	Usually the lowest
Micronised monohydrate	Creatine monohydrate milled into finer particles	"Micronised" or "micronized" on the label	Low to mid
Creapure®	Branded creatine monohydrate made in Germany by AlzChem	The Creapure® logo on the pack	Mid to higher
Purest creatine	Creatine monohydrate sold under the Purest grade	"Purest" on the label	Mid to higher

Formulas vary by product, so always check the label for the creatine source and amount per serve.

Unflavoured vs Flavoured Creatine Monohydrate

Unflavoured: the most popular option. It has little taste, so it's easy to add to water, juice or your protein powder shake.
Flavoured: ready-flavoured powders you can mix with water on their own. Browse our full flavoured creatine range.

Creatine Monohydrate Tub Sizes and Serves

The number of serves in a tub depends on the serving size on the label, which is usually 3g or 5g. As a guide:

Tub size	Serves at 3g	Serves at 5g
250g	About 83	About 50
300g	About 100	About 60
500g	About 166	About 100
1kg	About 333	About 200

Smaller tubs suit first-time buyers. Larger 500g and 1kg tubs usually work out cheaper per serve if you take creatine every day.

How to Choose the Right Creatine Monohydrate

Type: standard monohydrate for value, micronised for easier mixing, or Creapure and Purest if you want a specific source or grade.
Flavour: unflavoured to add to other drinks, or flavoured to take with water alone.
Format: powder is the most common, and capsules are available if you'd rather not scoop.
Serving size and tub size: compare the grams per serve and the number of serves, then work out the cost per serve.
Testing: if you compete in tested sport, choose a HASTA, Informed Sport or Informed Choice certified product.

How to Use Creatine Monohydrate

Always follow the serving size and directions on your product label. Most creatine monohydrate powders list a daily serve of around 3–5g, mixed into water, juice or a shake. Standard monohydrate can settle at the bottom of a glass, so stir well or choose a micronised powder if mixing is a problem. Not suitable for children or for pregnant or breastfeeding women. If you have a medical condition or take medication, speak to your healthcare professional before use.
