Why this certification matters
- Informed Sport
- Informed Sport certification is especially relevant for athletes in tested sports because products are batch-tested for substances prohibited in sport.
Frequently asked questions
- How is the Elite Series different from regular ON Micronised Creatine Powder?
- Same creatine monohydrate, but the Elite Series carries Informed Sport certification (every batch tested) instead of Informed Choice (sample testing per quarter). Both are run by LGC Sport Science.
- Why is it only sold direct from Optimum Nutrition?
- ON restricts the Elite Series to their direct channel to maintain pricing and authenticity controls for the higher-tier certified product. Amazon and Holland & Barrett stock the standard Informed Choice SKU instead.
- Is it worth the extra cost over the standard ON micronised?
- If you compete in tested sport and need every-batch certification (especially UK / European pro), yes. For general gym use, the standard Informed Choice ON SKU is the same monohydrate at a much lower price (£16–£28.99).
- Is shipping included in the £40 price?
- Optimum Nutrition charges shipping separately unless your order qualifies for free delivery (typically above a minimum spend). Confirm the basket total before purchase.
- Is the Elite Series Creapure?
- No — Optimum Nutrition uses their own creatine monohydrate sourcing for the Elite Series. If you specifically want Creapure-branded creatine, look at the Myprotein Creapure SKU or Maxi Nutrition Creapure.
