Quick answer
Start with fit, not a forced winner.
Start with the job you need the product to do, then compare the practical constraints that matter in your own setting. Every option below links to an exact reviewed NST product record. This page does not claim that one option is best for everyone, and it does not imply hands-on testing unless a linked assessment says so explicitly.
Decision table
Compare fit, evidence and limits before clicking.
Fast comparison is useful, but the table still keeps the evidence basis, limitations and retailer-link status visible. It is not a forced ranking.

What to compare
The details that make this decision clearer.
Purpose and fit
The useful choice depends on the reader's actual task, environment, existing equipment and tolerance for the product's trade-offs.
Verified product facts
Only identity and specification details already checked in the linked NST product records are used. Manufacturer statements are not treated as proof of outcomes.
Limitations and alternatives
Each option is considered alongside its known limitations, cheaper substitutes and the valid choice to buy nothing.
Which suits you
Compare the trade-offs side by side.
Option 1
Bulk Creatine Monohydrate
A current UK unflavoured creatine-monohydrate powder. Bulk lists 5 g creatine monohydrate, providing 4.4 g creatine, per stated serving. This is a product-label fact, not evidence that the brand outperforms equivalent plain monohydrate.
May suit you if
People who have independently decided to use creatine and want a plain, unflavoured monohydrate powder. Follow the current physical label and seek appropriate professional advice where needed.
Useful strengths
- The current manufacturer page identifies the unflavoured variant as single-ingredient creatine monohydrate.
- The current manufacturer page lists 100 g, 250 g, 500 g and 1 kg sizes; exact availability must be rechecked at publication.
Important limits
- NST has not independently tested purity, banned substances, taste, mixability, packaging or outcomes.
- Bulk's 99.9% purity and batch-testing statements are manufacturer claims; no independent product-specific certification was established in this review.
- The manufacturer's one-to-two-serving direction is recorded as label information only and is not adopted as NST advice.
Option 2
Myprotein Micronised Creatine
A current UK 500 g unflavoured micronised creatine-monohydrate powder. Myprotein lists 5.7 g creatine monohydrate, providing 5.0 g creatine, per stated serving. This is a product-label fact, not evidence that the brand outperforms equivalent plain monohydrate.
May suit you if
People who have independently decided to use creatine and want a plain, unflavoured micronised monohydrate powder. Follow the current physical label and seek appropriate professional advice where needed.
Useful strengths
- The current manufacturer page identifies the 500 g unflavoured variant as single-ingredient creatine monohydrate.
- The current manufacturer page describes the powder as micronised and states 87 servings.
Important limits
- NST has not independently tested purity, banned substances, taste, mixability, packaging or outcomes.
- Myprotein's 99.99% purity and Informed Choice statements are manufacturer claims for this page; the independent directory entry found is named Impact Creatine, not this exact Micronised Creatine Powder title.
- Impact Creatine, Micronised Creatine Powder and Creatine Monohydrate Elite must not be conflated without exact identity evidence.
Option 3
Optimum Nutrition Micronised Creatine
An unflavoured 187 g creatine monohydrate powder. The manufacturer states 55 servings and a 3.4 g creatine monohydrate serving providing 3.0 g creatine.
May suit you if
People who have independently decided to use creatine and want a plain, unflavoured monohydrate powder. Follow the current physical label and seek appropriate professional advice where needed.
Useful strengths
- VERIFIED manufacturer-label fact: the listed ingredient is creatine monohydrate.
- VERIFIED manufacturer-label fact: the 187 g pack states 55 servings, with 3.4 g creatine monohydrate providing 3.0 g creatine per stated serving.
Important limits
- NST has not independently tested the product, its purity, taste, mixability, packaging or outcomes.
- The Informed Choice directory lists ON Micronised Creatine Powder at product-line level. The exact 187 g pack and current batch mark still require a physical-label check; do not substitute the separate 634 g Elite/Informed Sport listing.
- The current UK manufacturer page is internally inconsistent about total serving mass (3.6 g in one heading versus 3.4 g elsewhere and in the pack maths), so NST must not publish an exact scoop mass until the physical label is checked.
Bottom line
Choose for your real setup.
There is no universal winner. Choose the option whose intended use matches your situation and whose limitations you can accept. Read the linked product assessment before following any retailer destination, and buy nothing if your current setup already solves the problem.
