Thorne Creatine, Micronized Creatine Monohydrate Powder, Unflavored, 90 Servings

Thorne Creatine is an unflavored, micronized creatine monohydrate powder with 90 servings per container. Creatine monohydrate is the only ingredient.

Who it suits

It suits athletes who want plain creatine for any drink and who check for NSF Certified for Sport status. If you want a powder that dissolves completely, it may not be the best fit, since reviewers note it settles. It pairs well with other picks in our sports supplements collection, such as LMNT Citrus Salt electrolytes.

What reviewers say

Healthline made it an editor’s pick for its single-ingredient formula and NSF testing, though testers found it slightly gritty and less smooth-mixing than some rivals. BarBend liked the 5 g serving with no fillers or sweeteners and called the taste mild, but noted it settles in the glass and needs stirring.
