Creatine monohydrate remains the most studied sports supplement in existence. HCL is newer, more soluble, and marketed as 'no bloat'. But does that matter?
The verdict
For most people, monohydrate is the answer. It's cheaper per gram, has 700+ studies behind it, and works exactly as claimed. HCL is a viable option if you experience GI discomfort from mono.
FAQ
Do I need to load creatine?
No. 5g daily for 3-4 weeks reaches saturation just as effectively.
