Creatine Monohydrate: doses on the label

55 published products list Creatine Monohydrate on a label two independent readers agreed on. 52 state an amount; 38 are at or above the 5 g reference dose. 2 list it only inside a proprietary blend, with no dose disclosed. 1 list it without an amount for it.

Reference dose

5 g position-stand range

Source: Kreider et al., ISSN Position Stand 2017, J Int Soc Sports Nutr 2017;14:18 (PMID 28615996) — 3-5 g/day to maintain muscle creatine stores; the threshold uses the high end, 5 g (position stand)

The figure is the high end of 3-5 g/day (Kreider et al., ISSN Position Stand 2017).

The dose audit marks a product MET when the amount on its label, as two readers transcribed it, is at or above this figure, and UNDER otherwise. An ingredient inside a proprietary blend has no disclosed dose, so it is counted as undosed, never assumed adequate. A reference dose is the amount a cited study or guideline used; it is not a recommendation for anyone. Every reference dose and its source: how we rate.
