Creatine has the second-widest price spread of anything we track in Malta: roughly €3.00 to €12.85 per 100 g, about 4.3×. What makes that notable is that creatine monohydrate is a single, standardised compound — unlike protein powder, there is very little room for one tub to be meaningfully better than another. This page tracks what it actually costs across Maltese shops, rebuilt every morning from their own storefronts.
What creatine costs in Malta right now
We read the public catalogues of the Maltese retailers we track daily and normalise every listing to € per 100 g, so pack sizes compare fairly. Across the tracked creatine listings, the median sits near €7.00 per 100 g — useful mainly as a line to notice you are well above.

Prices are collected automatically from each retailer’s own public storefront and normalised to € per 100 g so packs of different sizes can be compared fairly. They can change at any time — always confirm on the retailer’s page before ordering. CapyFuel sells nothing, so no CapyFuel product is in this table — every row is an independent retailer, ranked on price alone.
Almost everything here is plain monohydrate
Unlike some categories, the Maltese creatine shelf is not full of exotic forms — nearly every listing we track is plain or flavoured creatine monohydrate. Our guide on monohydrate versus other forms covers what is actually established if you are weighing up a pricier alternative form elsewhere.
So where does the spread come from, if it is mostly one compound? Three places. Pack size does most of the work, as it does everywhere in this market. A handful of listings are Creapure-certified — a licensed, purity-certified raw material rather than a different compound, and it carries a premium. And a couple of listings are creatine blended with other ingredients (added electrolytes, or a second amino acid), which raises the price per 100 g of powder while diluting the creatine in each scoop — if a product is not plain monohydrate, the per-100 g figure is not comparing what you think it is.
Working out what a dose really costs you
Creatine is one of the few supplements where the maths is genuinely simple, because the serving on the label is a stated amount. As an illustration, with a serving of 3 g, 100 g of powder is about 33 servings. So the cheapest tub in the table above (€3.00 per 100 g) costs only a few cents a serving, while the priciest (€12.85 per 100 g) costs several times that. The same arithmetic works for any serving size stated on the label.
That framing is more useful than the shelf price, and it is why the per-100 g column is the one to read. The cost calculator will work out cost per serving for any tub you are considering.

If two tubs are both plain monohydrate, the cheaper one gives you the same product for less. That is the whole argument for buying near the bottom of this table.

Frequently asked questions
How much does creatine cost in Malta?
It varies widely by pack size and certification — see the live table above for today's exact range and median. That is the second-widest spread of any category we track, behind only whey and protein powder.
Is expensive creatine better than cheap creatine?
Usually not. Almost every listing we track in Malta is plain or flavoured creatine monohydrate — one compound, and the cheapest form available. Most of the price gap is pack size, plus a small premium for Creapure certification or a blended formula, rather than a different or better compound.
What does a 3 g serving of creatine actually cost?
As a worked example, if one serving on the label is 3 g, 100 g of powder gives about 33 servings. So the cheapest tub in the table works out to a few cents a serving, and the priciest to several times that — a real difference for the same compound at the same dose.
Are the pricier creatine listings a different, better form?
Mostly not in Malta. Nearly all tracked listings are monohydrate. The listings that cost more are either Creapure-certified monohydrate — the same compound with a purity certification and traceability — or monohydrate blended with other ingredients, which dilutes the creatine per scoop rather than improving it.
What is creatine authorised to claim in the EU?

How often are these prices updated?
Every morning, from each retailer's own public storefront, normalised to € per 100 g. The 30-day low column shows whether a listing is above its own recent floor.
