I’ve used maybe a half dozen standalone creatine items… At one point took a year or so away from creatine as a personal experiment.
In chronological order since 2010:
VPX Super Creatine (yes it existed… you can laugh and I am taking questions)
Patented Creatine HCl (via Concret and Kaged Muscle)
Creatine Magnapower (SNS)
Kaged Muscle CreaClear
Nutrabio Pharmapure creatine mono (as of last month going forward)
a couple years ago. I looked closer, and it says 2022 is the exp date. But I think it may have went bad based on storage? It did get moved from Cali to NYC when some stuff of mine was moved in a car being shipped.
When you take it, how does your head feel?
Never heard of the VPX. Why did you expect laughter?
That’s the stuff we shit on for being in Bang at like 20mg
It gets made fun of a lot for reasons that basically have nothing to do with the product itself… It’s more about how it’s used in Bang energy drinks in the dumbest of small amounts.
Bang was a VPX sub brand for a decade before the energy drinks arrived… ‘Super Creatine’ existed for just as long.
Bang is great at marketing.
Just find a chick in Miami who will put their product between their breasts = Instant sales.

I take a scoop at night with my smoothie. Been using creatine from MyProtein for years. Never had any issues with it.
I’m not sure if creatine really goes bad unless it has been exposed to moisture and either clumps or goes moldy.
Copy. I guess I will start using it that way. I have loads of it from a 200 serving 2.5 Monohydrate bag.
Ever use their
??
No. Never felt the need to pay extra for the Creapure version from their site.
I also always buy the 1kg bag for the 200 servings.
Creapure is Creapure. Buy it wherever you want. The only thing that changes is the brand that is turning around and selling it to you.
Thankfully Creapure isn’t Creeper
I see. Is there any benefit to creapure over straight monohydrate? Mind you, they’re both from My protein.
Creapure isnt from MyProtein… It’s a trademarked creatine monohydrate made from a specific lab in Germany.
You get Creapure because their process claims the highest purity at 99.99%. So if MyProtein has Creapure at a good price, I say get it while you can.
I agree with @BigHoop65 Creapure is just a trademarked form of creatine mono. Anyone can sell it.
MyProtein is often a great deal because of their volume and available discounts.
With how f#cked up things are right now, it’s almost a wash between Creapure and regular mono.
What do you mean by that— The way things are F’d up… ?
Yeah this is the one I saw. I guess its a deal for anyone else looking for some Cre.
The shortages and supply chain problems. Just like whey protein, the price of creatine has gone up a lot, even for how inexpensive creatine is in general.
Nutrabio had to switch from their normal creatine source to Creapure for their 500g containers, which I assume is their best selling creatine SKU.
Are you not aware of the supply chain mess for just about everything along with the price increases that are hitting supplements across the board?
