Creatine capsules or powder

Andrew Huberman and his guests discuss the use of creatine in various forms, including capsules and powder. They suggest that the choice between creatine powder and capsules depends largely on personal preference and convenience. Creatine monohydrate in powdered form is widely used and offers the flexibility of adjusting dosage based on body weight and specific fitness goals. For instance, those weighing between 185 to 250 pounds are recommended to take 10 to 15 grams daily, either mixed in drinks or shakes, without reported gastric distress for most users 1.

In terms of absorption and effectiveness, both forms should deliver similar benefits if dosed correctly. The powdered form may be easier for larger doses, as capsules may require ingesting multiple pills to match the required dosages 2. Ultimately, the preference may also hinge on how easily one can incorporate the supplement into their daily routine, with powder being more versatile for mixing with other liquids or supplements 3.
