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

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.

The Sports Research Creatine does well in helping me with keeping muscle mass, as well as with cognition and alertness. The Creapure rating assures me that I am getting the best in a creatine supplement. This also improves how well it mixes, as other brands without the ratings don't mix as well and seem to have fillers. I found no side effects or problems with taste. Good product overall.

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

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.

Upon receiving, I first tested mixing it with my favorite morning beverage (pineapple juice). I used a clear cup to see how well the creatine dissolves, and it absolutely mixed in the juice effortlessly leaving no residue behind! Odorless, and tasteless I was sold!, as other brands can sometimes have a chalky aftertaste. Simple Ingredient. I will update after my loading phase, which I feel safe doing because of the quality of this product. I was weary to do a load phase with other companies of the potential side effects of cramps. This powder is seriously a game changer! I highly recommend!

Wanted something that I could throw into my coffee each morning so I bought this. Stirs in very well and easily, but it does have just a slight bitter taste. Goes better in something sweet so that you don’t taste that since I do drink my coffee black. I take two scoops and make up it to three because it’s doing wonders for my brain fog. I like this brand comes in 5 g doses and I will continue to buy this. I buy their collagen as well and have liked that too.

Great product. After much research (no pun intended) I’ve found that all of the Sports Research products are of quality, manufacturing integrity and are fairly priced. I use the creatine daily in my coffee and it does not alter the taste. I do feel it enhances and supports my workouts (which are mostly weightlifting).

I have never used creatine in my life. But recently I started. It clearly changed my mood and better performance at workouts. Easy!

Excellent quality

I’ve been using this creatine for a few months now and I’m really happy with it. It mixes easily in water or juice with no gritty texture, and there’s no taste at all which makes it simple to take every day. I’ve noticed better strength during workouts and less fatigue between sets, especially on heavier lifting days. It also doesn’t upset my stomach like some other brands I’ve tried before. The container lasts a long time and the quality feels solid for the price. I’ll definitely be sticking with this one and buying it again when I run out.

Great quality creatine! Mixes easily, no taste, and I've noticed better strength and workout performance within a few weeks. Clean and effective-highly recommended!

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.
