So it's still in its infancy.

The jury's still open as it currently stands.

It seems to be relatively safe and well tolerated.

So by far, creatine monohydrate.

And that goes against all the new marketing forms.

So creatine monohydrate is simply creatine linked to one water molecule.

When you take it into the body, the water molecule dissolves.

It's identical to what's being produced in the liver and the brain.

All the evidence that you ever hear about the safety and efficacy of creatine is based on the old, boring, from 1832, creatine monohydrate.

There's new market forms of creatine, such as hydrochloride, which does have evidence behind it.

There's many other forms.

But the only downfall with all these market forms is it's never been shown to be safer or more effective than creatine monohydrate.

The other big thing for your viewers is make sure it has CreaPure or some form of creatine monohydrate on the label.

And that it's also third-party tested.

CreaPure.

CreaPure is from Germany.

It has the highest standard of qualification and scrutiny.

And then NSF certified or another third-party certified.

So those are the three things that I personally would look for.

Monohydrate, CreaPure is the type, and then NSF certified or third-party certification.
