Questions

Is Thorne Creatine NSF Certified for Sport?

Yes. NSF lists Thorne Creatine in 450 g and 900 g jars, one 5 g scoop, as NSF Certified for Sport (checked October 6, 2026); NSF also lists a stick-pack version. Thorne says every product goes through 4 rounds of testing, though no public batch certificates were found.

Thorne Creatine vs Momentous Creatine: which should I buy?

Both give 5 g of creatine monohydrate as the only ingredient, 90 servings and an NSF Certified for Sport listing. Thorne ($44) has hands-on expert reviews and 18,503 Amazon ratings at 4.7. Momentous ($42.99, or $32.24 on subscription) posts 96 batch certificates but has no expert review yet.

Does Thorne Creatine dissolve well?

Not fully. Garage Gym Reviews and BarBend testers each scored solubility 3 of 5 because the powder settles in the glass, and Garage Gym Reviews says it needs stirring. Both scored taste 4 of 5 for the unflavored powder.

How much does Thorne Creatine cost?

$44 for 90 servings, about $0.49 a serving, per Thorne; its page shows no subscription price. Two creatine powders at Target cost $0.22 and $0.23 a serving, and Momentous's NSF-listed creatine costs $0.48, or $0.36 on subscription.
