Creatine & sports supplements

Creatine

A substance from meat and fish that the body also makes itself. Muscles use it for quick energy in short, hard efforts like sprints or lifting.

388 products from US online stores, sorted by what 5 g of creatine monohydrate costs – not by the price per pack.

9.5¢Lowest cost
per 5 g creatine monohydrate

  • Prices checked Nov 1, 2026, US
  • No paid placements

What does 5 g mean?

creatine monohydrate per serving in most of the products we checked
2.5–5 gcreatine monohydrate per serving in most of the products we checked
creatine monohydrate a day (ISSN)
3–5 gcreatine monohydrate a day (ISSN)
a day in an optional 5–7-day loading phase (ISSN)
0.3 g per kga day in an optional 5–7-day loading phase (ISSN)
  • 5 g is about one serving: half of the 388 products we checked have up to 5 g per serving, the other half more.
  • 5 g is within the 3–5 g a day described for people who exercise (ISSN (opens in a new tab)).

We compare by 5 g only so products line up – it’s not a recommendation. Not medical advice. More on amounts, with sources

Where products miss quality points

How the 388 products score

  • Very good 90+: 82
  • Good 75+: 288
  • Fair 60+: 1
  • Low under 60: 10
  • No score, label not readable: 7

10 products contain artificial colors with an EU warning and titanium dioxide – a food authority has banned, restricted or flagged them as a possible health risk. Their score is cut in half, so it’s always in the red range. Each product says why.

have no seal from an independent testing program
78%have no seal from an independent testing program10 of 30 testing points for GMP, 15 for the 51 whose label says “third-party tested”

The full 30 testing points need an independent test. Every supplement sold in the US is made under the FDA’s GMP rules – the maker checks its own products, which gives 10 points. A seal from a testing program like NSF, USP or Informed Choice means a lab outside the company checks that what’s inside matches the label. Most brands don’t take part. That doesn’t make a product bad – without a seal, a clean product still gets up to 80.

We find seals on the label and in NSF’s public lists. USP and Informed Choice don’t let us search their lists automatically, so a seal that’s only in their lists can be missing. How the score works

What amount is typical?

Per serving, the 388 products we checked have 0.5–8 g. ISSN, a day: 3–5 g.

  • 86 of 388 have so little per piece that you’d need 4 or more pieces for 5 g creatine monohydrate.

On the label: Use the grams of creatine monohydrate per serving. With gummies, one serving is often several pieces.

Guide: Creatine: powder, capsules or gummies – what 5 g costs

How we checked: one-time price for each size in the store’s US online shop, before sales tax and shipping, without subscriptions or coupons. Prices change often, so check the store before you buy. More on how we check

The amount we compare by only makes products comparable – it is not a dosage recommendation. Not medical advice.

How we calculate

Cost per dose = price ÷ (servings × amount per serving) × comparison amount. Example: $119.99 for 74 servings with 24 g of protein each is 1,776 g of protein. $119.99 ÷ 1,776 g × 30 g = $2.03 per 30 g of protein.
