How we pick these products

Every product is selected on three criteria: the right form (creatine monohydrate, not HCl; D3 not D2; magnesium glycinate not oxide), a credible price per serving, and a strong Amazon review count that filters out new brands without a track record. Sponsored products don't appear here. If we wouldn't recommend it to a friend, it doesn't make the list.
