Just buy it from one of the bulk people such as www.myprotein.co.uk as brand makes no difference - its just a reason to charge you more!
Creatine doesn't work for everyone though, and if you eat plenty of steak, you won't need it at all ;) |
500g thats 1/2kg sugar!
you only need ~100g. taking 100g sugar is not healthy however, so best way imo to replace half of it with protein: 50gprotein/50g simple carb after workout, this will get you the same insulin spike as 100g sugar.

Personally I think it does nothing for me except make me feel a bit sick for 30mins/1hour

#1 rule is you need to drink plenty of water (100ml/1mg) with it.
Also, according to some researches taking creatine BEFORE or DURING workout is a bad idea, they say it will cause loss of performance /!/ and in some cases fainting. The causes are not yet known.
