    What would be wise would be for you to LEARN what creatine is and does before you take it. There is plenty of research and it has many benefits, but like wiht anything else you are going to start putting into your body, you should first find out what those benefits are, and if there are any side effects or contraindications for specific people. Like someone else suggested, do a quick search on this site - you will get tons of information about it, as it has been covered extensively.

    From your screen name, and your stats, I'd say you would benefit from creatine use coupled with a good nutrition plan and a well-planned exercise program, but i urge you to understand the way it works first. Since you started lifting just recently, it's th best thing you can do: become well-educated on what you're setting out to accomplish and what the best way to accomplish it will be.

    powder is a good way.

    any creatine monohydrate will be fine.

    all you really need is food and consistent training right now. You don't need creatine.

    A multi-vitamin and fish oil wouldn't be a bad idea.
