There are plenty of Creatine powders on the market, and although you would figure that "Creatine is Creatine" that isn't necessarly the case.   Choosing the cheapest Creatine Powder you can find is not a smart move.

With that being said, there are a handful of high quality powders that are priced very reasonably, and Optimum's Micronized Creatine Powder is a well respected product in the bodybuilding community. 

This German made product is both high in quality, and offers plenty of value at $39.99 for 2000 Grams, and $27.99 for 1200 Grams.  As with all of Optimum Nutrition's products, they offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

One of the benefits of this product over other cheaper Creatine Powders is that it is micronized.  Micronized Creatine Powder is extremely fine (think powder sugar vs. regular sugar), and will dissolve very easily in liquid.  You will find that powders that are not Micronized will taste gritty and may settle to the bottom, even after stirring.
