Frequently asked questions
- Is Thorne Creatine certified for banned substances?
- Yes. It carries NSF Certified for Sport, the most stringent of the four certifications we list. NSF tests every batch against 280+ substances on the WADA prohibited list and is the cert used by the NFL, MLB, MLS and PGA Tour.
- Why does Thorne Creatine cost more than other monohydrate products?
- Thorne is a clinical-grade brand stocked by over 100 professional sports teams. The pricing reflects cleanroom manufacturing, NSF Certified for Sport batch testing, and a 90-serving tub — a higher serving count than most competitor packs.
- Is Thorne Creatine flavoured?
- No. It is unflavoured creatine monohydrate, which dissolves in water, juice, or a pre-workout shake. Some users mix it into a smoothie or protein shake to mask the slight chalkiness.
- How does NSF Certified for Sport differ from Informed Sport?
- Both test against the WADA banned-substances list, but NSF is the standard used across major US professional leagues (NFL, MLB, MLS, PGA Tour), while Informed Sport is dominant in UK and European sport. Either gives you regulatory assurance for tested competition.
- Is creatine monohydrate vegan?
- Yes. Pharmaceutical-grade creatine monohydrate is synthesised chemically, not extracted from animal tissue, so it is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. The Thorne tub does not list any animal-derived ingredients.
