Warrior Creatine Plus Electrolytes is one of the newer two-in-one tubs on Amazon UK: creatine and a hydration drink in a single scoop, sugar-free, £12.50 for 360g when I checked. It has 4.3 stars from 704 ratings. The pitch is convenience, and that’s fair, because creatine only works if you take it every day. The question I wanted answered is what the convenience costs compared with plain creatine, including Warrior’s own.
The short version
It’s a pleasant way to take 3g of creatine a day, and most owners like the taste. You pay for that: per gram of creatine it costs about 70% more than Warrior’s plain micronised creatine. The electrolyte part is small, 175mg a scoop, which is less than half of a typical electrolyte tablet. Buy it if flavour is what keeps you consistent. Skip it if you want 5g a day on a budget or real hydration for sweaty sessions.
What’s in a scoop
| Creatine | 3g micronised creatine monohydrate |
| Electrolytes | 175mg in total (sodium, potassium and magnesium) |
| Servings | 112 per 360g tub |
| Sugar | Sugar-free |
| Flavours | Mixed Berry, Blue Razz, Citrus Blast, Watermelon Ice, Unflavoured |
| Made in | UK, to GMP standards; gluten-free and non-GMO according to Warrior |
3g is a deliberate number. It’s the daily amount that the approved UK health claim for creatine is based on: creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise (see the GB nutrition and health claims register). Most studies and most lifters use 3 to 5g a day, and heavier people often go for 5g. At 5g you’d need one and two-thirds scoops, and the tub lasts about 67 days instead of 112.
Warrior doesn’t split the 175mg into sodium, potassium and magnesium on its product page. For comparison, a HIGH5 Zero tablet has 385mg of electrolytes and Applied Nutrition’s hydration tablets have 400mg.
What owners say
Amazon’s summary of the reviews (October 2026) counts 55 positive and 19 negative mentions of taste, and owners mostly describe the flavoured versions as fruity without being too sweet. Effectiveness gets 61 positive mentions out of 76. Texture is where opinions split: some say it mixes easily, while a handful mention slight grit or say it takes a while to dissolve. Digestion is also mixed, with only nine reviews mentioning it either way. On Warrior’s own Trustpilot product page it averages 4.2 out of 5 from 124 ratings.
The cons
- It’s expensive creatine. You get 336g of creatine for £12.50, which is about £3.72 per 100g. Warrior’s plain creatine is £2.19 per 100g, and Myprotein’s 1kg tub is £2.00.
- 3g a scoop is the low end of the usual dose. Taking 5g means more than one scoop and a tub that runs out in about two months.
- 175mg of electrolytes won’t do much after a sweaty session. If hydration is the reason you’re interested, an electrolyte tablet gives more than twice as much.
- It’s £14.99 on Warrior’s own site, so Amazon was the cheaper place to buy it when I checked.
How to take it
Warrior says one scoop in 300 to 500ml of cold water, once a day, rest days included, and at any time that suits you. That matches how creatine works: it builds up in the muscles over a few weeks of daily use, so timing matters far less than not missing days. You don’t need a loading phase either; I’ve covered that in whether a creatine loading phase is worth it. If you’re new to creatine, my beginner’s guide to creatine monohydrate covers the basics.
Cost per day vs plain creatine (Amazon UK, 21 Oct 2026)
| Product | Tub | Price | Per 100g of creatine | Per day at 3g | Per day at 5g |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Warrior Creatine Plus Electrolytes | 360g (112 scoops) | £12.50 | £3.72 | 11p | 19p |
| Warrior Creatine Monohydrate (plain) | 500g | £10.95 | £2.19 | 7p | 11p |
| Myprotein Impact Creatine | 1kg | £19.99 | £2.00 | 6p | 10p |
Prices are approximate and change daily; the live price is the one on Amazon. Our creatine price table compares 25 tubs and is re-checked regularly.
In money terms the gap is small: about 5p a day at 3g. Over a year that’s roughly £17 more than Warrior’s plain creatine. Plain creatine plus an electrolyte tablet on training days gives you more of both, but it’s two products to remember, which is exactly the problem Warrior is selling a fix for.
Check Warrior Creatine Plus Electrolytes on Amazon UK
Who should buy it
- People who keep forgetting creatine and would drink a flavoured scoop every day.
- Anyone who dislikes the gritty taste of unflavoured creatine in water.
- Someone happy with 3g a day who also wants a small, sugar-free top-up of electrolytes.
Who should NOT buy it
- Budget buyers. Plain creatine costs far less per gram, and Warrior’s own 500g tub is cheaper than this one.
- Anyone who takes 5g a day, since the tub runs out in about two months.
- Endurance athletes and heavy sweaters looking for proper hydration. 175mg of electrolytes is a token amount.
- Anyone who already mixes creatine into a protein shake. You’d be paying for flavour you don’t need.
FAQ
How much creatine is in Warrior Creatine Plus Electrolytes?
3g of micronised creatine monohydrate per scoop, with 112 scoops in a 360g tub.
Is 3g of creatine a day enough?
3g is the daily amount the approved UK health claim is based on, and plenty of people use it. Many lifters, especially heavier ones, take 5g. Either works if you take it every day.
Do I need a loading phase?
No. Warrior says loading is optional, and a daily serving fills your muscles over a few weeks. Loading only gets you there sooner.
Is it better than plain Warrior creatine?
It’s the same type of creatine with flavour and 175mg of electrolytes added. Plain Warrior creatine is cheaper per gram, so the extra money buys convenience and taste.
Does creatine cause hair loss or bloating?
The evidence on hair loss is thin; I’ve gone through it in does creatine cause hair loss. Some people notice a little water weight in the first weeks, which is water stored in the muscle.
Verdict
As a daily habit it’s tidy: one scoop, a flavour most owners like, and the creatine dose behind the approved health claim. As value it’s average, because you pay about 70% more per gram of creatine for the flavour and a small amount of electrolytes. On paper I’d rate it 6.5/10, and I’ll update that once I’ve used a tub myself.
