What to check on the label

  • The compound form (creatine monohydrate, NAC, glycine) and the grams per scoop or per capsule.
  • Scoop size versus the catalog serving. Some labels define a serving as two scoops.
  • Flavoured versions add sweeteners and fillers under 'other ingredients'.

Amounts are per label serving as recorded in the catalog and are not a recommendation. Testing status reflects what the brand lists. Nothing here is medical advice.

Evidence gates dose: the evidence grade sets the ceiling, and the dose decides how much of that ceiling the product reaches. Value = inverse of price-per-trial-dose-day. Community = mean sentiment of external reviews. Safety caps applied after weighting.

This score is our editorial judgment, not a scientific standard. We combine published evidence, dose, price, transparency, and consumer signals into one composite: this is our method, not a peer-reviewed clinical rating. A higher score means a product does better on the factors we weight, not that it is medically proven to work.

Important to know
CreatineDon't pay extra for 'HCl', 'buffered', or 'Kre-Alkalyn', monohydrate is chemically identical after absorption. Look for Creapure® certification.

Editorial notes

5 g creatine monohydrate per scoop, 90 scoops. NSF Certified for Sport. Matches the monohydrate form and 5 g/day dose used in cognition meta-analyses; the largest single trial (N=123) was mostly null, so expect at most a small memory benefit, mainly after 60.
