Optimum Nutrition

Micronized Creatine Powder

Price varies
micronizedbanned-substance-testedmonohydrateunflavored

Optimum Nutrition provides a high-quality, single-ingredient micronized monohydrate that meets the clinical dosage of 5g. While it is third-party tested via Informed Choice, it misses the Gold tier because it no longer utilizes the Creapure® trademarked source and lacks public batch-specific COAs, all while carrying a higher brand-name price premium compared to identical bulk generics.
