Creatine HMB
This product combines creatine monohydrate with HMB and Vitamin D, aimed at preventing muscle breakdown while increasing strength. It is arguably the most transparent product on the market with batch-specific COAs available for every customer.
Ingredients & Purity
Uses high-quality monohydrate plus 1.5g of myHMB and 12.5mcg of Vitamin D3. No artificial sweeteners or dyes.
Scientific Evidence
The synergy between Creatine and HMB is supported by some studies for lean mass, though evidence for HMB in trained individuals is less robust than creatine alone.
Brand Transparency
Industry-leading transparency; users can look up the exact lab results for their specific tub via the website.
Value Assessment
The most expensive option on the list. The added cost for HMB and Vitamin D makes the price per serving significantly higher than pure monohydrate.
Why Not Alternatives?
Most 'enhanced' creatines use unproven forms like Creatine HCl or Nitrate; Transparent Labs sticks to Monohydrate but adds HMB, which has some evidence for lean mass preservation during cuts, though it is significantly more expensive.
