Sports Research Creatine Monohydrate - Gain Lean Muscle, Improve Performance and Strength and Support Workout Recovery - 5 g Micronized Creatine - 10.58 oz

Excellent quality

..

I’m working out a lot lately and training for a Marathon. I take creatine before and after my workouts. It’s a defo must.

I ordered 2 packs of this brand because my favorite brand was out of stock. Out of 2, 1 jar was completely unusable because it was all stuck in one brick. The other one was fluffy powder as expected. Very disappointing and I just can’t trust the effectiveness of this brand. As we know creatine degrades with humidity and loses it’s potency once mixed or exposed to humidity.

I’ve been using Sports Research Creatine Monohydrate daily for the past two months (5g scoop in my post-workout protein shake) and it’s become a staple in my supplement routine. This is a clean, unflavored micronized powder that delivers the standard 5 grams of creatine monohydrate per serving with no added sugars, fillers, or weird taste. What stands out most is how well it mixes. Unlike some gritty creatines I’ve tried, this one dissolves smoothly in cold water, juice, or shakes with just a quick stir or shake — no sandy texture or clumps left behind. It’s truly tasteless, so it doesn’t mess with the flavor of my drinks at all. After consistent use (no loading phase needed for me, just daily maintenance), I’ve noticed solid improvements: better strength in the gym (pushing a few extra reps on lifts), improved workout endurance, and faster recovery between sessions. My muscles feel a bit fuller too, which aligns with the expected lean muscle support from creatine. No bloating or stomach issues for me, which is a huge plus. Pros I appreciate: • Micronized for excellent mixability and absorption • Third-party tested (Informed Sport certified) — great peace of mind for quality and banned substances • Vegan, Non-GMO, gluten-free, and NSF gluten-free certified • Pure formula — just creatine monohydrate, nothing extra • Good value with decent-sized tubs and affordable per-serving cost • Trusted brand with consistent quality across their products A couple of minor notes: • A few people mention it can still feel slightly gritty if not mixed thoroughly in very cold liquids (I use room temp or slightly warm water and it’s perfect). • Like any creatine, results depend on consistent use + proper training and nutrition. It’s not magic, but it definitely helps when you’re putting in the work. • Packaging is simple and functional, though a wider scoop or better seal would be nice for larger tubs. Overall, this is one of the best creatine monohydrate powders I’ve used — clean, effective, and reliable. If you’re looking for a no-nonsense option that supports strength, performance, and recovery without any fuss, I highly recommend Sports Research. It’s earned its spot in my daily stack and I’ll definitely repurchase. Would buy again — solid 5g dose, mixes great, and delivers results.

I've been using Sports Research Creatine Monohydrate for a few weeks now, and I'm really impressed with the quality. The powder is very fine, mixes quickly in water or my post-workout shake, and has no gritty texture or unpleasant taste. I've noticed better performance during my workouts, improved recovery between training sessions, and steady strength gains. I also appreciate that it's pure micronized creatine monohydrate with no unnecessary fillers or additives. The packaging is solid, the scoop makes it easy to measure, and the value for the price is excellent. If you're looking for a high-quality creatine that delivers exactly what it promises, I would definitely recommend giving this one a try.

With all the questions, controversy and marketing hype surrounding creatine gummies I just decided to go "old school" and switch back to micronized powder from a reputable vendor. This dissolves well and my teenage son uses it daily. We had a short window before official school practices start (and we switch from heavy lifting to an in-season sculpting/stretching program) so we elected to do a loading phase of 20g per day for five days to saturate the muscles. This isn't required for most people as those levels can be obtained in 3-4 weeks at 5g per day dosage. I was a coach and trainer since the 1980s and believe strongly that creatine, a good amino supplement and appropriate protein is all a young athlete really needs to support strength training. Nothing gimmicky required. This is a good product and I recommend it.

I like this stuff a lot! It probably works better in smoothies/shakes but I don't tend to drink a lot of those so I usually just mix it into water. It does a decent job of dissolving but it doesn't seem to fully dissolve into my water which is a little annoying but fairly manageable. I notice the effects of it though and really have enjoyed putting creatine into my diet!

Good Product. Mixes well, unflavored. Solid for the price.
