Optimum Nutrition Micronized Creatine Monohydrate Powder, Unflavored, 240 Servings, 1200 Grams (Packaging May Vary)

Amazing product and price

I’ve been using Optimum Nutrition Micronized Creatine Monohydrate (Unflavored) daily, and it does exactly what it’s supposed to do with zero drama. I take 5g in the morning mixed directly into oatmeal, and that’s where this really shines. It’s genuinely unflavored, doesn’t change the taste, and once stirred in, it’s basically gone. No grit, no chalky mouthfeel, no weird aftertaste. If you didn’t know it was there, you wouldn’t know it was there. Mixability is excellent for a powder that isn’t flavored or sweetened. It dissolves cleanly, especially if you mix it into hot food or liquid. I’ve also mixed it into water and coffee without issues. As for results: it’s creatine. It works. Strength and workout performance are consistent, and recovery feels solid. No bloating, no stomach upset, and no need for loading phases or complicated timing. Just take it daily and move on with your life. What I really appreciate is the simplicity: Pure creatine monohydrate No fillers No sweeteners No marketing gimmicks Huge container that lasts forever (240 servings is no joke) If you want a clean, reliable creatine from a brand that’s been around forever, this is exactly that. It’s boring in the best possible way — which is exactly what you want from a supplement you take every day. Will absolutely buy again.

I have used Optimum Nutrition Micronized Creatine Monohydrate for many years and can say it remains one of the most reliable and evidence-based supplements on the market. There are many studies but here are some highlights: • Kreider et al. (2017) – International Society position stand (Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition): “Creatine is the most effective ergogenic nutritional supplement currently available to athletes in terms of increasing high-intensity exercise capacity and lean body mass during training.” Rated A-level evidence. • Buford et al. (2007) – Meta-analysis of 22 studies: 5 g/day creatine monohydrate produced an average 8% greater increase in strength and 14% greater increase in weightlifting performance vs placebo. • Branch (2003) – Meta-analysis of 100 studies: Creatine supplementation increases muscle phosphocreatine stores by 10–40%, leading to 20% average improvement in high-intensity exercise performance. • Cooper et al. (2012) – Meta-analysis of 53 studies on older adults: Creatine + resistance training increased lean mass by 1.37 kg more and strength by 2–3× compared with training alone. • Lanhers et al. (2017) – Systematic review: Creatine significantly reduces mental fatigue and improves cognitive performance during sleep deprivation and in vegetarians/vegans with lower baseline stores. Optimum Nutrition offers exceptional value without unnecessary fillers, flavors, or proprietary blends. If you are looking for a single supplement with the strongest evidence base for improving strength, power, muscle mass, recovery, and even cognitive function, this is it.

This is a staple supplement and one of the most researched and effective options for strength and performance. Creatine helps support muscle strength, power output, and recovery, which makes a noticeable difference during workouts and training consistency over time. This micronized version mixes easily, has no taste, and doesn’t cause stomach issues, which is important if you use it daily. The large tub lasts a long time, making it extremely cost-effective compared to smaller containers. If you’re serious about improving performance, strength gains, or workout endurance, creatine is one of the few supplements that consistently works—and this Optimum Nutrition version is clean, reliable, and high quality. Easy to use, proven, and worth having as part of a routine.

As I use this product, I can feel a huge increase in my overall performance. Does not dissolve as described.

Love this creatine.. have my whole family taking it now!

I started using this supplement after turning 40 and becoming concerned about retaining muscle mass. I don’t currently strength train but do intend to start. I do run 3 miles a day. Within a week I saw a noticeable increase in stamina while running. My photo shows the sharp jump in my VO2 max since starting creatine almost a month ago now, and I’ve broken my fastest mile personal record 3 times. I’ve also noticed increased mental sharpness and clarity, and more energy overall. I really wasn’t expecting all that and thought the benefits would be much more subtle so was pleasantly surprised. I mix it into my coffee each morning. It dissolves okay but I do have to stir quite a bit to get it there. I can definitely taste it but it’s not bad enough to stop. This is a great value considering the dose is only 1 tsp, which is plenty for me right now. Overall I highly recommend!

I bought it for daily use since I exercise and needed a good creatine, and this one has worked great for me.

Good

Package was opened when received, Not eligible for replacement is unacceptable. Powder was all around the inside of plastic cover!!! Beware! Buy in person !

Good results

Good Product and Price

To preface this review: I am male, 47 years old, 5'10" and around 185 pounds as of this writing. I have been regularly working out at the gym for more than 3 years now. I am not a hard core body builder, but I do lift heavy so I can gain more muscles and achieve a better looking physique. I make sure that I eat healthy and I supplement with Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Protein. I only started using creatine five weeks ago. I was using another brand for a week when I first started but decided to go with Optimum Nutrition's Creatine Powder just to make sure that I am using something that is from a reputable company. I ordered my item on a Friday and got the product Wednesday the next week (I am based in Airdrie, Alberta Canada). I did not go to a loading phase, but rather I took a serving of the product every day, usually mixed along with my post-workout protein shake right after my work out. On my off days, I take a serving mixed in warm water; it does not dissolve easily when using room temperature water. I make sure to drink lots of water since I started taking creatine. As of this writing, this will be the start of my fifth week taking creatine. I am not sure if it's a placebo effect, but on this day I find that I have more energy during my workout. I also find that I can add a rep or two to my regular sets. I also feel stronger with each exercise and find myself having energy in store at the latter stages. For whatever reason, I don't feel as tired as the weeks past. One effect that I noticed right away though was during the second to third week of taking creatine and regularly working out, my muscles felt a bit fuller, which was noticed by my family and friends. This might be that water retention effect that I have been reading about. I also gained a couple of pounds right away and I believe that is from the water retention as well. I think I like this product very much. It does not upset my stomach. It does not have a taste at all when taken with water. I will keep taking it with my post-workout protein shake. Recommended, although I highly advice anyone to make sure to read up on creatine use before deciding to add this to one's workout supplement.
