Creatine Mono vs Creapure

[Chemo]

Who cares about where there creatine is manufactured? We all know Creapure is a very credible source of creatine but is creapure worth all its reputation?

Most creatine comes from china (just like all the gear in this country) feels good man.

You don't really have to choose, Creapure can be found for as cheap as any if you'd prefer it.

Your right agent it is around the same price but Creapure the raw product is generally a smidgen more expensive.

I would love to hear if anyone know about the quality difference (if any) of the substances. All i know so far is that Creapure is the brand that has had all the studies behind it, to prove its worth and give it the credibility it has nowdays.

Will Brink has quite a few articles on creatine, worth a look if you're interested. Here's his original article on creatine purity comparing Creapure (originally listed in the article as just "German producer") with others, it's over 10 years old but he's added an update more recently.

It's usually a 2-3 percent diff in purity (not worth the extra cost) creapure is certified 99% pure most Chinese creatine is 97-98

It depends on what that few percent difference is made up of as it doesn't take too much of some chemicals to cause problems.

That being said, the higher amounts of Dicyandiamide, Dihydrotriazine and Creatinine don't seem to cause any issues, so if you can't find creapure for the same price as the others I doubt there would be anything to worry about.

I got 1kg of Creapure creatine for US$20, so I didn't see the point in searching around to save another dollar on something so cheap.
