Creatine is a supplement we have heard bounced around for some time now. While some dismissed it as another unnecessary fad, others swear by it to use alongside a healthy fitness regime. Though it’s not to be confused with protein powder, and the like.
The supplement, which typically takes powder form though it is available as a gummy from select brands, has become a daily essential for people from all walks of life. It seems many wellness buffs are intrigued by the supplement, as searches for creatine monohydrate specifically have skyrocketed by 23% in the last quarter, and 970,000 monthly searches in the UK alone.
Speaking about the growing interest, Chief Product Officer at Protein Works, Kyle Crowley, said: ‘Creatine Monohydrate has been around for decades, but the renewed interest shows how effective it really is. We’ve focused on creating a clean, pure version that fits into real people’s lives.’

Protein Works Creatine Monohydrate
This creatine monohydrate is vegan, filler-free and clean. The supplement is a micronised formula, which makes it easy to dissolve in liquid to consume and absorb by the body. Available in 100g, 200g, 500g and 1kg. Comes in three flavours, including unflavoured, Orange Burst and Berry Blitz.
Whether you’re chasing personal bests in the gym, navigating a demanding work schedule, or simply looking to stay sharp and active as you age, creatine could be the secret weapon you didn’t know you needed to support muscle growth.
Creatine has been recognised for a whole host of other benefits that go beyond just toning your muscles, as it has also been said to support cognitive function, boost energy, aid recovery from sleep deprivation, and help maintain muscle mass as we age. In short, it’s a supplement suitable for all ages and fitness abilities.
In a sea of supplements it can be hard to filter through the noise to understand whether you truly need the ingredient, and if so, which one to buy. Thankfully, we have done the hard work for you and found Creatine Monohydrate from Protein Works, which has garnered high praise.
Protein Works’ Creatine Monohydrate promises to be a clean, vegan, filler-free, ultra-filtered, and micronised formula. One bug bear many have with dissolvable supplements is the chalky sediment at the bottom of the glass, but Protein Works has insisted this powder mixes into water, your juice or smoothie, effortlessly. Plus, this Creatine Monohydrate is absorbed easily into the body, which means better efficacy.
All ingredients in the brand’s creatine have been sourced exclusively from BRC-accredited suppliers who undergo independent annual audits. This ensures everything you consume is held to the highest quality and regulatory standards.
This Creatine Monohydrate is available in three flavours (technically two), as it is available in an unflavoured powder, Orange Burst and Berry Blitz. It also comes in numerous sizes, including 100g, 200g, 500g and 1kg.
With an average of 9.8 out of 10 stars, it truly has been a hit with shoppers.
Connor gushed: ‘Definitely noticed a difference in my gym performance. A must have for anyone looking to improve their performance.’
Another praised: ‘The unflavoured is actually tasteless and mixes very well so is not powdery’.
While a separate shopper named Vicky added: ‘Need to get fit quickly for a competition. This stuff is rocket fuel. Took 6g. I was telling myself the whole class ‘my enemies can’t do this’. And then did 5 sets of 1 minute sprints. Don’t even feel tired.’
Better still, there is a sale on, which means you could secure Protein Works’ Creatine Monohydrate 100g for £3.99 down from £8.99, while the largest 1kg bag has dropped from £62.49 down to £26.99.
