The market offers a plethora of creatine options, but we didn't feel confident recommending a single one of them to the family and friends who asked us for health tips. Creatine gummies tend to be high in sugar, and creatine's instability in liquid works against them. Tubs of powder are messy, high-commitment, and, to us, taste terrible. Options like these make it hard to stay consistent, and consistency is the most important part of making creatine part of your routine. Ready-to-go stick packets still mean buying a water bottle or dirtying a shaker cup, often while consuming loads of artificial sweeteners and colors. It was a bummer that we had something we loved as much as creatine to recommend, and every option we had fell short.
