Creatine monohydrate is standardised, so the rate is the entire decision. On HealthKart's shelf the spread is 87% — and the deepest badges sit on the worst rates.
We read HealthKart's own creatine, pre-workout and carbohydrate listings on July 30, 2026, and instead of ranking them by discount we divided every price by the pack size printed in the listing's own title. There is a specific reason to do that with these particular supplements. Creatine monohydrate is a single molecule with a single chemical formula, manufactured to the same specification worldwide, dosed at three to five grams a day regardless of who sells it — there is no protein percentage to compare, no amino profile, no absorption claim that survives scrutiny. There is powder, and there is what a gram costs. On this shelf, a gram of creatine costs anywhere from Rs. 3.10 to Rs. 5.79. That is an eighty-seven per cent spread for the identical compound, and both ends of it belong to the same brand: MuscleBlaze CreAMP in a 322 g tub at Rs. 999 works out at Rs. 3.10, while MuscleBlaze Micronised in a 100 g tub at Rs. 579 works out at Rs. 5.79. In between sit MuscleTech Platinum at Rs. 3.38, Optimum Nutrition at Rs. 3.70, GNC at Rs. 3.80, Ronnie Coleman at Rs. 4.01 and Fuel One at Rs. 5.00. The discount badges point almost exactly the wrong way. The cheapest gram on the shelf carries a twenty-five per cent badge. The deepest creatine badge in our read, forty per cent off a stated Rs. 1,599, belongs to a GNC tub that costs Rs. 3.80 a gram — twenty-three per cent more money for the same molecule. In pre-workout the same inversion repeats: a GNC tub at forty-four per cent off is Rs. 2.93 a gram, while a MuscleTech tub at forty-eight per cent off is Rs. 5.60, ninety-one per cent dearer with a bigger percentage printed on it. And then there is the four-rate problem inside one product. MuscleBlaze lists CreAMP in 322 g, 249 g, 118 g and 100 g tubs at Rs. 999, Rs. 999, Rs. 549 and Rs. 549 — which is Rs. 3.10, Rs. 4.00, Rs. 4.66 and Rs. 5.50 a gram. Two of those pairs charge the same money for different quantities: Rs. 999 buys either 322 g or 249 g, and Rs. 549 buys either 118 g or 100 g. All four listings display the identical rating of 4.5 from four thousand six hundred and eighty-one people, because the rating belongs to the product line rather than the tub, so it cannot help you choose. None of this is an allegation about how HealthKart or any brand prices — multiple pack sizes at overlapping prices is ordinary retail, and small tubs genuinely cost more per gram to fill and ship. It is simply that on a standardised molecule, the arithmetic is available to you and worth doing. Our HealthKart MuscleBlaze coupon page and monsoon sale tracker cover the cart-level reductions that sit on top of these rates.

Creatine monohydrate is chemically identical whoever sells it and dosed the same way whoever takes it — so the only question is the rate. On this shelf the spread between the cheapest and dearest gram is 87%.
Rs. 999 for 322 g — Rs. 3.10 a gram, the cheapest creatine on the shelf, on 4.5 from 4,681 ratings.
Why it earned its spot Rs. 999 for 322 g of creatine monohydrate — the lowest rupees-per-gram in the read.
Rs. 1,349 for 399 g — Rs. 3.38 a gram, the largest single tub in the read, at 30% off.
Why it earned its spot Rs. 1,349 for 399 g of MuscleTech Platinum creatine — the biggest tub, at the second-best rate.
Rs. 924 for 249 g — Rs. 3.70 a gram, from the brand with the strongest reputation in the category, at only 11% off.
Why it earned its spot Rs. 924 for 249 g of Optimum Nutrition micronised creatine — the trusted label, at 11% off.
Rs. 949 for 249 g — Rs. 3.80 a gram at 40% off, against Rs. 3.10 a gram at 25% off two picks above.
Why it earned its spot Rs. 949 for 249 g of GNC micronised creatine — the deepest discount, and a worse rate.
Rs. 499 for 100 g — Rs. 5.00 a gram, the cheapest cheque and the second-worst rate here.
Why it earned its spot Rs. 499 for 100 g of Fuel One creatine — buy it once, to find out if you tolerate creatine.

Why it earned its spot Rs. 579 for 100 g of MuscleBlaze micronised creatine — the most expensive gram on the shelf.
MuscleBlaze CreAMP appears at Rs. 3.10, Rs. 4.00, Rs. 4.66 and Rs. 5.50 a gram across four tub sizes — all sharing a single rating of 4.5 from 4,681 people, and badged from 9% to 25% off.
Rs. 999 for 322 g — Rs. 3.10 a gram, identical to the watermelon tub, from a different stated MRP.
Why it earned its spot Rs. 999 for 322 g in citrus — the same best-in-shelf rate, with a smaller badge.
Rs. 999 for 249 g — the identical price as the 322 g tub, for 73 g less powder, so Rs. 4.00 a gram.
Why it earned its spot Rs. 999 for 249 g of the same CreAMP — same cheque, 73 grams less.

Why it earned its spot Rs. 549 for 118 g in watermelon — an awkward size at an awkward rate.
Rs. 549 for 100 g — Rs. 5.50 a gram, the same cheque as the 118 g tub for 18 g less powder.
Why it earned its spot Rs. 549 for 100 g of CreAMP — identical money to the 118 g tub, less powder in it.

Why it earned its spot Rs. 1,199 for 299 g of Ronnie Coleman Creatine XS — the highest-rated creatine in the read.
A blend is not a molecule: caffeine, beta-alanine and citrulline in proportions brands rarely disclose per scoop. The rate still ranges from Rs. 2.93 to Rs. 6.40 a gram — and the deepest badge sits near the worst rate.
Rs. 1,049 for 358 g — Rs. 2.93 a gram, the lowest pre-workout rate here, at 44% off.
Why it earned its spot Rs. 1,049 for 358 g of GNC pre-workout — the cheapest gram in the category.

Rs. 1,499 for 268 g — Rs. 5.60 a gram at 48% off, nearly double the GNC rate per gram.
Why it earned its spot Rs. 1,499 for 268 g of MuscleTech Vapor X5 — the biggest badge, the second-worst rate.
Rs. 639 for 100 g — Rs. 6.40 a gram at 4% off, the most expensive gram in the whole read.
Why it earned its spot Rs. 639 for 100 g of MuscleBlaze PRE 200 Xtreme — the dearest gram on this page.
The cheapest gram in the entire read is a carb blend at Rs. 0.43 — because it is essentially sugar. The dearest is a patented starch at Rs. 1.87, with real research behind it and almost no reader who needs it.
Rs. 649 for 1,497 g — Rs. 0.43 a gram, seven times cheaper than the best creatine rate.
Why it earned its spot Rs. 649 for 1.5 kg of carb blend — the cheapest gram anywhere in this read.
Rs. 250 for 499 g — Rs. 0.50 a gram, at exactly 50% off, and the cheapest listing on the page.

Why it earned its spot Rs. 1,499 for 1.8 kg of carbs — a mid-shelf rate, rated 4.8 from 30.
Rs. 5,599 for 2,998 g — Rs. 1.87 a gram, four times the cheapest carb rate, for a patented starch.
Why it earned its spot Rs. 5,599 for 3 kg of Vitargo — the premium carb, at four times the shelf floor.
Four rules follow from a shelf where the same molecule costs Rs. 3.10 and Rs. 5.79 a gram. First: divide, every time. The pack size is in the title of every listing, the arithmetic takes ten seconds, and on this shelf it is worth up to eighty-seven per cent on creatine and one hundred and eighteen per cent on pre-workout. Do it for the specific product you reorder, because the pattern is not consistent — in creatine the 322 g CreAMP is the best rate and the 249 g tub costs the same money, while in pre-workout the 540 g WrathX genuinely beats the 340 g version by eleven per cent. Second: on creatine specifically, stop reading brands. Creatine monohydrate is standardised, so a 4.7 rating and a famous label are measuring flavour, mixability and packaging rather than the compound. What you should check is that the tub is sealed and the label has a real Indian distributor, then buy the cheapest gram. Third: treat small tubs as trials rather than purchases. A 100 g tub is twenty days of dosing and costs Rs. 5.00 to Rs. 5.79 a gram — that is a sensible way to learn whether creatine gives you the bloating a minority of people report, and an expensive way to take it long-term. Creatine only works taken continuously, so if you are going to continue, buy the big tub. Fourth: do the same arithmetic on carbs, and then ask whether you need them at all. The cheapest gram in our entire read is a carb blend at forty-three paise, and it is cheap because it is essentially fast-dissolving sugar — rice and oats are cheaper still per gram of carbohydrate. Buy a carb powder if you train long enough to need fuel mid-session or genuinely cannot eat enough to gain weight.

Every price, stated MRP, discount, rating and review count on this page comes from healthkart.com's own category pages on July 30, 2026, and every per-gram figure is our own arithmetic: price divided by the pack size stated in the listing's own title, converting pounds at 453.592 g. We chose creatine and carbohydrate powders deliberately, because they are the two supplements where the product is standardised enough for a rate to be the whole answer.
Creatine monohydrate has one chemical formula, is manufactured to the same specification worldwide and is dosed at three to five grams a day regardless of brand — there is no protein percentage or amino profile to weigh. On HealthKart's shelf its rate runs from Rs. 3.10 a gram (MuscleBlaze CreAMP, 322 g at Rs. 999) to Rs. 5.79 (MuscleBlaze Micronised, 100 g at Rs. 579): an 87% spread for the same compound, from the same brand at both ends.
Working against you, mostly. The cheapest gram on the shelf carries a 25% badge; the 40%-off GNC tub costs Rs. 3.80 a gram, 23% more. In pre-workout the pattern repeats: the 44%-off GNC tub is Rs. 2.93 a gram and the 48%-off MuscleTech tub is Rs. 5.60 — 91% dearer with a bigger percentage on it. Across both categories, the deepest discounts in our read sat on the worst rates, because a percentage is arithmetic on a stated MRP and a rate is arithmetic on the powder.
MuscleBlaze CreAMP is listed in 322 g, 249 g, 118 g and 100 g tubs at Rs. 999, Rs. 999, Rs. 549 and Rs. 549 — which is Rs. 3.10, Rs. 4.00, Rs. 4.66 and Rs. 5.50 a gram. Two of those pairs are the same price for different quantities. All four display the identical rating of 4.5 from 4,681 people, because the rating belongs to the product line rather than the tub. Every pick below states its size, its rate and its review count. Prices read July 30, 2026.
The MuscleBlaze Creatine Monohydrate CreAMP 322 g tub at Rs. 999, which works out at Rs. 3.10 a gram — the cheapest rate across every creatine listing we read on July 30, 2026, with 4.5 from 4,681 ratings behind the product line. At a five-gram daily dose that is Rs. 15.50 a day and roughly sixty-four days of supply. The most expensive gram on the same shelf is Rs. 5.79, from the same brand's 100 g micronised tub — eighty-seven per cent more for the identical molecule.
Far less than the price per gram. Creatine monohydrate is a single molecule with one chemical formula, made to the same specification worldwide and dosed the same way whoever sells it, so a star rating on a creatine tub is largely reporting flavour, mixability and packaging. What is worth checking is that the tub is sealed and the label has a genuine Indian distributor. After that, divide the price by the grams and buy the cheapest — on this shelf that meant Rs. 3.10 a gram rather than Rs. 3.80 on a tub with a bigger discount badge.
On HealthKart's shelf, MuscleBlaze CreAMP is listed at Rs. 999 for both a 322 g tub and a 249 g tub, and at Rs. 549 for both a 118 g tub and a 100 g tub — two pairs charging identical money for different quantities, which works out at Rs. 3.10, Rs. 4.00, Rs. 4.66 and Rs. 5.50 a gram. All four display the same rating of 4.5 from 4,681 people because the rating belongs to the product line. Multiple pack sizes at overlapping prices is ordinary retail; the practical response is to check the grams before you add to cart.
Not on this shelf. The GNC micronised creatine at 40% off a stated Rs. 1,599 costs Rs. 949 for 249 g, which is Rs. 3.80 a gram. The MuscleBlaze CreAMP at 25% off costs Rs. 999 for 322 g, which is Rs. 3.10 a gram — twenty-three per cent cheaper for the same molecule with a badge fifteen points smaller. The same inversion appears in pre-workout, where a 44%-off tub is Rs. 2.93 a gram and a 48%-off tub is Rs. 5.60. A percentage is arithmetic on a stated MRP; a rate is arithmetic on the powder.
Only for a specific job. The cheapest gram in our whole read was a carb blend at forty-three paise, and it is cheap because it is essentially fast-dissolving sugar — maltodextrin or dextrose. That is genuinely useful if you train long enough to need fuel mid-session, or if you are trying to gain weight and cannot eat enough food. For everyone else, rice, oats and bananas deliver the same carbohydrate more cheaply. The premium option on the shelf, a patented Vitargo starch at Rs. 1.87 a gram, has real research behind its faster stomach-emptying claim and is aimed at athletes training twice a day.
