Hi Ronit! There are lots of creatine supplements out there... the one I use myself is Thorne Creatine, which you can get on Amazon. It's pure creatine monohydrate (with no extra carbs or "proprietary" crap).. and Thorne is USP certified - so it meets the high quality standards of the sports industry.

You may also be able to find it at a GNC or other supplement store.

Yes, consuming creatine alone may not be sufficient for developing your abdominal muscles, but alternative options to creatine can be beneficial. I recently read an article about this, and I'll leave it here https://gymratstyle.com/alternatives-to-creatine-effective-options/
