Why this tier: A small (n=35) 2003 RCT (Brilla) showed a greater increase in intracellular water than creatine + MgO; a second small trial (Selsby 2004, n=31, 2.5 g/day x10 d) found Mg-creatine chelate no better than low-dose creatine monohydrate on bench-press work. No trial has shown superior strength/performance versus monohydrate.
