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
- Is USN a trusted UK creatine brand?
- Yes. USN has manufactured sports supplements in the UK since 2000 and runs an Informed Sport batch-testing programme across its tested-sport range. The brand is widely stocked in Holland & Barrett and other UK retailers.
- What does Informed Sport certification mean?
- Every batch is independently screened by LGC Sport Science against the WADA banned-substance list. This is the certification most commonly accepted by UK governing bodies for tested-athlete supplementation.
- Is this the same as USN's regular creatine?
- USN sells several creatine SKUs; Pure PRO is the certified-sport tier. Their non-Pure-PRO retail SKUs are not necessarily batch-tested.
- What's the recommended dose?
- 3–5 g per day for maintenance. Optional front-loading of 20 g/day for 5–7 days saturates muscle stores faster, but isn't strictly required.
- Is the product vegan?
- Creatine monohydrate itself is synthetically produced from chemical precursors, not animal-derived. Check the USN label for any non-creatine ingredients before assuming the full product is vegan.
