00:00:00.593 --> 00:00:03.797
One creatine tub says monohydrate.

00:00:04.110 --> 00:00:07.234
Another says H C L and promises more

00:00:07.254 --> 00:00:08.539
from a smaller scoop.

00:00:08.852 --> 00:00:11.043
Start with the claim you want evidence for:

00:00:11.609 --> 00:00:14.773
easier mixing, better tolerance and better training results

00:00:14.793 --> 00:00:15.999
are different questions.

00:00:16.746 --> 00:00:20.256
Creatine monohydrate has the larger research base.

00:00:20.569 --> 00:00:22.600
That does not certify every tub on a

00:00:22.620 --> 00:00:26.383
shelf, but it makes monohydrate the useful reference

00:00:26.590 --> 00:00:28.754
when another form claims to work better.

00:00:29.533 --> 00:00:32.416
In this invented example, five hundred grams for

00:00:32.436 --> 00:00:35.160
two hundred and fifty thousand rupiah costs five

00:00:35.180 --> 00:00:36.679
hundred rupiah per gram.

00:00:36.992 --> 00:00:39.796
One hundred grams for two hundred thousand costs

00:00:40.016 --> 00:00:41.328
two thousand per gram.

00:00:41.601 --> 00:00:44.685
These are powder costs, not equivalent doses.

00:00:45.464 --> 00:00:48.720
A small eight-week trial did not find significant

00:00:48.740 --> 00:00:51.118
differences between its treatment groups.

00:00:51.431 --> 00:00:54.675
Improvements within a group alone do not establish

00:00:54.695 --> 00:00:58.205
superiority. The result does not justify a universal

00:00:58.225 --> 00:01:00.882
claim that H C L works better.

00:01:01.667 --> 00:01:04.924
Check the named ingredient, declared amount and other

00:01:04.944 --> 00:01:08.494
ingredients. A smaller scoop is not evidence of

00:01:08.514 --> 00:01:12.344
greater potency. Ask the manufacturer when a blend

00:01:12.364 --> 00:01:15.661
or serving description hides the information you need.

00:01:16.449 --> 00:01:18.734
Decide whether you are paying for evidence, a

00:01:18.754 --> 00:01:21.358
preferred flavour or easier preparation.

00:01:21.671 --> 00:01:23.356
Keep those reasons separate.

00:01:23.669 --> 00:01:26.407
The full guide includes a label worksheet and

00:01:26.586 --> 00:01:28.991
the limitations of the direct comparison.
