The creatine category has massively expanded these past couple of years with more innovation in that short amount of time than we’ve seen in any other period the legendary muscle-building ingredient has been around. Flavored creatine has become a popular commodity; creatine in functional formats have spread across the industry; and some companies have driven deep into the world of value, with brands giving you as much as half a kilogram of creatine monohydrate for just $20.
In the area of $20 for 500g or 100 servings of tried and true creatine monohydrate at its 5g dose, has been the standard and a tough price point to beat, but someone has done it, and it’s one of the biggest names in the supplement industry. Optimum Nutrition has put together an all-new and ridiculously great-value size of Micronized Creatine. Like the all-new AmiNO Energy Focus, infused with CognatiQ for a nootropic effect, it is entirely exclusive to the membership retailer Costco.
The weight of Optimum Nutrition’s Costco-exclusive Micronized Creatine is 675g, and that’s all unflavored creatine monohydrate, long known for its reliable ability to enhance muscle strength, performance, and power. The price is where things get crazy, as you get all of that 675g, which is 135 servings, at $19.99, just under the other 500g offerings out there but giving you 35% more. There is no scoop in this one but the simple alternative, and as Optimum recommends, you get about 5g of creatine from a rounded teaspoon, a worthy sacrifice for the huge savings.
