Welcome to Creatine.ca!

This site was created to feature, educate and discuss all that is creatine! Being that creatine is arguably the world’s top sports supplement and the most tested, there is a lot to talk about. I really want to build this site up as a place where we all can go to for resources on anything that involves creatine.

Over time this site will cover all the basics such as:

  • what is creatine
  • why should someone take it
  • where is the best place to get it
  • what is the best kind to get. E

Even with this historic supplement now being over 15 years old, there is still so much mystery surrounding creatine. Many people have either not heard of creatine or think negatively about it.

Hopefully this website will uncover all that mystery for Canadians and really help further the use and benefit that creatine can offer. With all the science and research behind creatine use for athletes, gym goers, regular individuals and even though with various diseases, it is truly amazing at the benefits that regular creatine intake can offer.

Creatine Basics

Here are some of the very basics when it comes to creatine:

  1. Only buy creatine from a reputable source such as an established retail health store or online store. Do not buy it from a grocery store. You get what you pay for and for the most part the quality of creatine sold in grocery stores is not only poor but ineffective. (FYI: It is typically overpriced as well!)
  2. Don’t take more than the recommended serving. While its easy to think that if the recommended serving size is providing excellent results, then taking twice the serving size will provide twice the results. This is not true. Your body can only absorb so much creatine with the rest going to waste. Stick to the recommended serving size.
  3. Start with 100% pure creatine monohydrate powder. It is the most tested and most proven form of creatine on the market. It will give you a good indicator of the results you can get from creatine and get the ball rolling on your results.
  4. When shopping for various types of creatine to purchase do some research. There are TONS of different kinds of creatine on the market and it can be overwhelming when it comes to just picking one. Here are some resources to use when making your selection:
    1. Chat forums
    2. Review sites
    3. Ranking sites
    4. Customer reviews
    5. Others at the gym
    6. Note: While all the above might be biased in some way, if you do enough checking around online and offline you are bound to come across some common responses. Saying all that though, at the end of the day sometimes you just have to take action and try one brand and a specific creatine product and go from there. If the results are great stick with it and if you didn’t feel satisfied with the gains, feel free to try another creatine.

Sometimes shopping for creatine can be the hardest thing. There are so many choices out there….

What kind of creatine do you buy and sometimes the even bigger question is where do you buy it?

Do you shop at local supplement store, the grocery store or at an online supplement store?

In my opinion the absolute best place to shop for creatine is online. Online creatine stores will carry exactly the same brands you would buy in a physical store, but one of the main differences is the price. You typically save around 10-30% and sometimes even 50% when you shop online.

For shopping in Canada for creatine our vote is Vitamart.ca. They have the largest selection of creatine, extremely low prices and offer free shipping on orders over $99.

Here are three links that take you to their three different creatine sections:

So hopefully the above information can get you started on your creatine journey and please check back to this site often as we will be providing new and cutting edge information regarding creatine for everyone here in Canada who buys creatine supplements.

If there is anything you would like discussed or any questions you would like answered regarding creatine don’t hesitate to let us know.
