MyProtein Creatine Monohydrate Review

We could not confirm it, so treat it as plain creatine monohydrate with the source not stated. Neither the Amazon listing title nor the label on file says Creapure, and MyProtein is not on Alzchem's public Creapure brand list (creapure.com/en/buy-here, checked Oct 6, 2026). An earlier version of this review called it Creapure-licensed. That was wrong. The 5 g scoop still delivers creatine monohydrate, the form the research was done on. If Creapure is the point for you, look for a label that prints it: only Sports Research (#1) states Creapure; the other powders do not state a source (checked Oct 6, 2026).

Informed Sport is the UK-based equivalent of NSF Certified for Sport: a third-party banned-substance certification program that tests batches against WADA-prohibited compounds. NSF Sport is the gold standard in the US (accepted by NCAA, IOC, MLB, NFL, NHL), while Informed Sport is widely respected but not universally accepted by every US federation. For this MyProtein product we could not confirm either seal (see the third-party testing score). If you are in any drug-tested context, check your federation's requirements and choose Thorne Creatine (#2, on the NSF Certified for Sport list).

1 kg. The live Amazon title reads 200 servings (2.2 lb), and a serving is one 5 g scoop. An earlier version of this review said a 500 g tub of 100 servings. That was the wrong size. The 200-serving pouch is the large-format option on this list, which is the main reason to buy it.

Intermittent. MyProtein is a UK company with global distribution, but their primary US Amazon presence runs through resellers and the brand's own MyProtein.com storefront rather than direct Amazon fulfillment. Stock availability and shipping speed can vary — sometimes you get Prime 2-day shipping, sometimes the product is fulfilled from UK warehouses with 7-14 day transit. For consistent stock, ordering directly from MyProtein.com is usually faster than Amazon US — but you lose Amazon's return convenience.

Yes, same brand. MyProtein is a large UK-based sports nutrition brand with wide reach across European lifting culture. In the US the brand is less culturally dominant than Optimum Nutrition. Its creatine monohydrate is a plain, unflavored powder, and the 5 g scoop delivers the same creatine as any other monohydrate.

Depends on whether stock is the constraint. Amazon US gives you Prime returns and the convenience of consolidated ordering, but stock can be intermittent. MyProtein.com often has stock and runs promotional discounts during sales events, but we have not verified current prices on MyProtein.com. The typical Amazon price was about $37 for the pouch, or $0.19 per serving (checked Oct 6, 2026), so compare the cost per 5 g serving on the day you order. If you want Prime convenience and the product is in stock on Amazon, that's the easier order.

1. [1] Kreider 2017 PMID 28615996 — International Society of Sports Nutrition position stand: safety and efficacy of creatine supplementation in exercise, sport, and medicine. ISSN position statement after reviewing 500+ studies: creatine monohydrate is the most effective form. 3-5 g/day chronic dosing is safe and effective for healthy adults. It applies to any plain creatine monohydrate at this dose, including this one.
2. [2] Buford 2007 PMID 17908288 — International Society of Sports Nutrition position stand: creatine supplementation and exercise. Predecessor ISSN position statement establishing creatine monohydrate as the most extensively studied and clinically effective form. Confirms safety at 3-5 g/day chronic dosing — applicable to MyProtein's creatine monohydrate identically.
3. [3] Cooper 2012 PMID 22817979 — Creatine supplementation with specific view to exercise/sports performance: an update. Comprehensive safety and efficacy review covering 30+ controlled trials. Established that chronic creatine supplementation at 3-5 g/day has no adverse effects on kidney function, liver enzymes, or muscle integrity in healthy adults — the safety floor that applies to MyProtein's creatine monohydrate identically.
4. [4] Volek 1997 PMID 9216554 — Creatine supplementation enhances muscular performance during high-intensity resistance exercise. Seminal RCT showing that creatine supplementation significantly increased peak power output and total work during high-intensity resistance exercise. The methodological template for the broader strength + power evidence base supporting creatine monohydrate from any brand.
5. [5] Rae 2003 PMID 14561278 — Oral creatine monohydrate supplementation improves brain performance: a double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over trial. Demonstrated that creatine monohydrate supplementation improved working memory and intelligence test scores vs placebo in vegetarian subjects. Establishes the cognitive co-benefit of creatine supplementation — applicable to MyProtein's creatine monohydrate.
6. [6] Antonio 2021 PMID 33557850 — Common questions and misconceptions about creatine supplementation: what does the scientific evidence really show?. Comprehensive myths-review covering creatine forms, cycling protocols, kidney safety, and water retention. Confirms that no alternative form has been shown to outperform monohydrate at equivalent doses — which supports choosing a plain monohydrate like this one over alternative forms.
