💥 Why Creatine Still Reigns
Creatine is one of the most well-researched, effective, and safe supplements for athletes and active adults. It supports:
- 🔋 Boosting cellular energy (ATP)
- 💪 Increasing strength, power, and muscle mass
- 🧠 Supporting cognitive performance (especially in aging adults)
- 🛡️ Reducing injury risk and enhancing recovery
It’s found naturally in red meat, fish, and the human body — but consistent supplementation is key, especially for those training hard or under stress.

🚳 Why Thorne’s Travel Packs Are a Game-Changer
We kept hearing it from our athletes: “I need something I can take on the road.”
Thorne’s Creatine Monohydrate Travel Packs solve that problem:
- ✅ NSF Certified for Sport® — trusted by pro and drug-tested athletes
- ✅ 5g of micronized creatine — the clinically effective dose
- ✅ Mixes instantly with no taste or texture
- ✅ Zero sugar, color, flavor, or filler
- ✅ TSA-friendly and gym-bag ready
No scooping, no measuring, no guesswork. Just grab, pour, and go.
🍬 Creatine Gummies: Trendy but Underpowered
You’ve seen the ads for creatine gummies from brands like Bloom Nutrition, Bear Balanced, and Swoly. They’re sweet and convenient—but not performance-driven.
Here’s why gummies miss the mark:
- ❌ Most contain only 1–2g per serving (far less than the research-backed 5g)
- ❌ Loaded with sugar, fillers, and sometimes gelatin
- ❌ Often not NSF Certified for Sport
- ❌ More expensive per effective dose (you’d need 3–5 servings/day)
Performance nutrition should be effective and efficient, not trendy.
