Cheapest Creatine Monohydrate in Canada — Honest Price Per Gram Comparison
TL;DR: Cheapest creatine monohydrate in Canada by price-per-5g serving is PVL Creatine BOGO 2 × 1 kg at $0.225/serving, followed by PVL 1 kg at $0.300 and PVL 300 g at $0.383. All in stock at Top Nutrition & Fitness Montreal, same-day shipping across Canada.
Honest price-per-serving math — the only number that matters
Sticker price lies. A $22.99 tub looks cheaper than a $59.99 tub until you check how many 5 g servings each one gives. Below is every creatine we currently stock, ranked by what one research-dose serving actually costs you. We update this page when supplier pricing shifts.
Top Nutrition & Fitness has been a curated Canadian supplement retailer in Montreal since July 2016. Diana — the owner — taste-tests and verifies every product personally, and we don't carry overpriced trendy brands when a $0.30-per-serving alternative does the same job. Creatine monohydrate is the textbook example: the molecule is identical between bargain and premium brands, so we lead with PVL because the price-per-gram math is the cleanest in the Canadian market.

The winner: PVL Creatine — and why we lead with it
PVL is a Canadian-owned brand with three creatine formats in our store:
- BOGO 50% off PVL 2 × 1 kg ($89.99) — 400 servings, $0.225 each. Best bulk value in Canada right now.
- PVL 1 kg tub ($59.99) — 200 servings, $0.300 each. Mid-bulk tier.
- PVL 300 g ($22.99) — 60 servings, $0.383 each. Entry-size to test the brand.
All three are pharmaceutical-grade micronized creatine monohydrate. The label says "100% pure," the lab analyses confirm it, and the molecule is the same monohydrate that has been studied in 500+ clinical trials. There is no chemical reason to pay more for unflavored monohydrate.
Allmax — Informed Choice tested at a fair second-place price
If you want third-party batch testing for banned substances (helpful for tested athletes), the Allmax Creatine Monohydrate 400 g ($34.99) runs $0.437 per serving and carries Informed Choice certification. We also stock Allmax Flavored Creatine (30 servings, $24.99) for people who refuse to taste plain creatine and Allmax Creatine 3000 capsules for travel use.
Creapure® vs generic creatine — the honest take
Creapure® is a German-manufactured monohydrate (AlzChem) with the strictest published purity testing in the industry. It costs roughly 3 to 6 times more per gram than generic micronized monohydrate. Independent lab tests of major brands consistently show generic monohydrate is also pure and well-tolerated. We carry Creapure® via PEScience TruCreatine+ Creapure® 30 servings ($39.99 — $1.333/serving) for athletes who specifically want the Creapure certification. For most lifters, generic monohydrate produces the same strength gains in studies. Our recommendation: lead with PVL, upgrade to Creapure® if you have a personal preference for the German-source guarantee.
Why bulk unflavored is always cheapest
- Powder vs capsules: 1 kg of bulk powder is roughly 200 servings. Replicating that in capsules would cost 4 to 6 times more. Capsules earn their place for travel, not daily home use.
- Unflavored vs flavored: Adding flavour systems, sweeteners and electrolytes typically doubles or triples per-serving cost. Mix bulk creatine into juice or your pre-workout if you don't like the taste of water-mixed creatine.
- Larger size = lower per-gram price: The PVL BOGO 2 kg pack is 22% cheaper per serving than the single 1 kg tub and 41% cheaper than the 300 g entry size — same product, same purity, different package.
Creatine HCL, chewables, gummies — when format matters more than price
If monohydrate causes mild stomach discomfort (rare), creatine HCL uses smaller doses (1.5–3 g). We stock Tested Nutrition Creatine HCL (120 caps, $24.99) for that use case. For people who can't or won't mix powder, chewables and gummies trade convenience for per-serving cost — fine for occasional or travel use, expensive as a daily routine. PVL Creatine Chewz, Animal Chews, Applied Nutrition Gummies and Allmax Gummies all sit at $1.75–$2.33 per serving.

Frequently asked questions
What's the cheapest creatine monohydrate in Canada per gram?
As of May 2026, the cheapest in-stock creatine monohydrate per 5 g serving at Top Nutrition & Fitness Montreal is the PVL Creatine BOGO 2 × 1 kg pack at $0.225 per serving. The single PVL 1 kg tub follows at $0.300/serving, and the PVL 300 g at $0.383/serving. All are unflavored pharmaceutical-grade monohydrate.
Is Creapure worth the extra cost?
Creapure® is German-manufactured monohydrate with the strictest purity testing. It costs roughly 3 to 6 times more per serving than generic monohydrate. For most lifters the generic micronized monohydrate (PVL, Allmax) gives identical results in studies. We carry Creapure® via PEScience TruCreatine+ for athletes who want the purity certification.
How much creatine should I take daily?
Research-supported maintenance dose is 3 to 5 g per day. Loading is optional — 20 g per day split into 4 doses for 5 to 7 days will saturate muscle stores faster, but skipping the load and taking 5 g daily reaches the same level in about 4 weeks. Take it any time of day, with or without food. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any supplement.
Does flavored creatine cost more?
Yes. Flavored creatine adds flavouring, sweetener and sometimes electrolytes, so per-serving cost is typically 2 to 4 times higher than bulk unflavored powder. Allmax Flavored runs $0.83 per 5 g vs the same brand's unflavored 400 g at $0.44 per serving. If price is the priority, bulk unflavored mixed into juice is the value pick.
Can I buy creatine in bulk in Canada?
Yes. At Top Nutrition & Fitness the best bulk option is the PVL BOGO 50% off 2 × 1 kg pack at $89.99 — that's 400 servings at $0.225 per 5 g, the cheapest creatine monohydrate per serving available in Canada from a Canadian retailer with no customs or surprise fees.
Which creatine has the most servings per dollar?
The PVL BOGO 2 × 1 kg pack gives 400 servings for $89.99 — about 4.4 servings per dollar. The single PVL 1 kg tub gives roughly 3.3 servings per dollar. PVL 300 g and Allmax 400 g give 2.6 and 2.3 servings per dollar. Capsules, chewables and gummies all sit below 1 serving per dollar.
How fast does TNF ship creatine across Canada?
