Creatine monohydrate: dose per serving across every label we carry

Creatine monohydrate is the most studied sports supplement and also the simplest label: one ingredient, one number. The studied daily amount is 3–5 g, which is why nearly every powder lands on 5 g per scoop and capsules need several pieces to get there. Below is the dose printed on each label we carry, so you can compare like with like before you compare prices.

What to check on the label

  • Grams of creatine per serving — 5 g is the benchmark; capsules and gummies usually hold less per piece
  • One ingredient on the label (monohydrate), no 'blend'
  • Servings per container, then divide the price by it

Drink water with it; people with kidney issues should ask a doctor first.

Questions people ask

Is 5 g of creatine per serving the right amount?

It's the amount the research used for a daily maintenance dose, and the amount most powders print per scoop. Labels that show 3 g (many capsules and gummies) simply need more pieces per day — the label's serving size tells you how many.

Is micronized creatine different from creatine monohydrate?

No — micronized is monohydrate milled finer so it mixes more easily. The dose per serving is what matters, and it's printed on every label here.
