About Creatine Insider

Creatine Insider exists for one reason: to make creatine simple, transparent, and honest.

Creatine is one of the most researched and widely used supplements in sport, yet it’s also one of the most misunderstood. Marketing claims, confusing advice, and wildly different prices make it difficult for athletes and everyday trainees to know what actually matters.

Creatine Insider cuts through that noise.

What We Do

We focus exclusively on creatine and cover it from three angles:

1. Clear, Evidence-Backed Education

We explain how creatine works, how people actually use it, and what the research says, without medical jargon or exaggerated claims. Content is written for people who train, compete, or care about performance, not for supplement marketers.

2. Honest Product Reviews

We review creatine supplements based on purity, value, formulation, and real-world use — not paid rankings or hype. When affiliate links are used, they’re clearly disclosed.

3. The Creatine Price Index

Creatine Insider tracks creatine prices across major brands and retailers using a standardised cost-per-gram approach. Prices are updated regularly so readers can see what creatine really costs — and avoid overpaying for identical products.

Who It's For

Creatine Insider is built for:

  • Athletes and martial artists

  • Lifters and gym-goers

  • People interested in mental and cognitive performance

  • Anyone who wants to understand creatine without sales pressure

Whether you train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, lift weights, or simply want reliable information, the goal is the same: clarity over hype.

Our Approach

Creatine Insider is written and maintained by a sports journalist with real training experience. Content is informed by:

  • First-hand use and observation

  • Peer-reviewed research and consensus statements

  • Reputable medical and academic sources

  • Transparent price and product data

We don’t claim to cure, diagnose, or replace medical advice. We aim to explain, compare, and contextualise — so readers can make informed decisions for themselves.
