I use whey powder daily.
It provides protein that is needed to build muscle. I do not get enough protein from my diet so I need a supplement.
I look for one with 20-30g protein and low calories(130) per scoop. I try to keep my body lean and muscular.
I am not an expert but I think the main thing that creatine does is aid the muscular tissue in retaining water thus giving an appearance of a more muscular build while adding little in terms of actual muscle strength so I don't use it.
I find when I am taking protein powder I am more energetic too which is important to me.
