Creatine Blends

Blends can add ingredients such as electrolytes, HMB, acetyl-L-carnitine or plant and mushroom extracts, and flavoured blends also list flavourings and sweeteners. The nutrition table lists the added ingredients with their amounts per serving, and the ingredient list shows the order by weight. Read both for the exact product.

Look for the creatine line in the nutrition table and read the amount per serving. If a table lists several ingredients under one total, the creatine alone is not stated. Compare the creatine per serving, not the serving weight, because a blend's serving carries every ingredient.

Start with the creatine per serving, then look at the other ingredients and their amounts. A blend's serving can weigh more than a plain creatine serving, so its price per serving covers more than creatine. For a like-for-like comparison, divide the price by the grams of creatine declared in the whole pack.
