Evidence

CriterionEvidenceLimitation
What is in this creatine cluster?BodyTech creatine monohydrate powder in 32 oz and 18 oz tubs, plus Cherry Ice packets. Each supplement facts line says 5 g creatine monohydrate.Unlisted creatine products are not answered from this page.
How should creatine labels be compared?Compare form, grams per serving, format, certification, and the timestamped list price. Do not compare a tub price with a packet price as if the packages were the same.A higher bottle price can still be a lower price per serving. This page does not compute a winner.
Is the 5 g creatine amount verified on the label?Status verified on the supplement facts for vs-1337, vs-1357, and vs-0403, observed 2026-09-03.The URL text 5-gm is not the source. The supplement facts line is the source.
Is there an NSF listing on these creatine labels?Not on these BodyTech rows. Status not_verified. True Athlete Kre-Alkalyn powder has NSF listing 1334651 and is buffered creatine, not monohydrate.Do not move that listing onto BodyTech.
What should a shopper check about creatine store stock and staff?Catalog availability was in_stock on 2026-09-03 for these three rows. That is merchant_stated catalog availability, not a local store count. Health Enthusiasts can help read a label. They are store staff, not clinicians.Pickup still depends on the selected store.
