These reviews do not cover taste or mixing. They do something narrower: we read what each product declares on its label and on the manufacturer’s page — whether the creatine amount is printed per serving, which form it is, whether the raw material can be traced to a named source, and what independent testing is on record — and score that.
Each of the eleven products was listed at a Maltese or Cypriot retailer we track when we read its label in October 2026. Two of them, Amix and Extrifit, were listed only at a Malta shop we have since stopped tracking, so their cards show no local price. All eleven are plain powders: creatine monohydrate is the only creatine form on every label, with no other ingredient listed. None of them are ours. We publish the scoring method below so you can disagree with it.
Every score on this page is a floor. Informed Sport and Informed Choice, two independent testing programmes, answer automated requests with a Cloudflare challenge, and we did not get around it, so neither register was searched. A product could be listed there. Each score is therefore shown as “at least”, and each card says why.
How the scoring works
How we score creatine
Every score is built from what the label and the manufacturer’s page declare, out of 100 (rubric creatine-v1). Price is not part of it, and the score says nothing about results: it describes how clearly a product states what is in it.
- Dose disclosure — 40 points. Whether the label states the creatine per serving (not only the monohydrate weight), whether a serving reaches 3 g of creatine, and whether the printed number of servings matches pack weight divided by serving weight. Where only the monohydrate weight is printed we calculate creatine with 0.879 and mark it “calculated”; where the label prints its own creatine percentage we use that.
- Form and formulation — 25 points. Creatine monohydrate as the only form scores highest, because one stated conversion lets two products be compared per gram of creatine. This makes no statement about other forms. Then, how many other ingredients are listed.
- Raw-material provenance — 20 points. A branded raw material (for example Creapure) that is also found in that brand’s public partner list scores highest; a named source we cannot check against a list scores less; purity wording alone scores less again.
- Independent testing — 15 points. The product found in an independent programme’s public database (Informed Sport, Informed Choice, the Cologne List, BSCG) scores highest; batch reports published by the maker score less; a programme that is claimed but not verified scores less again. A listing is shown as “listed in”, never as a guarantee; site-level certificates such as ISO 22000 certify the factory, not the product, and score nothing.
Floors. Some testing registers cannot be searched automatically. Where that could change the result, the score is shown as “at least” with a note, because the missing lookup could raise it, and a testing claim that a register contradicts would withdraw the score.
Price per 3 g of creatine is the cheapest tracked price per 100 g, divided by 100, times 3, divided by the creatine fraction (0.879 for monohydrate unless the label prints its own). It is shown next to the score, dated, and never changes it.
We hold a product back instead of publishing a score when a raw-material brand is named on the label but missing from its own list, or when a testing claim is contradicted by its register. Manufacturer statements are quoted and attributed to the manufacturer; we do not restate them as fact. We publish the method so you can disagree with it.
The reviews
Ordered by composition score. Live prices come from our Malta and Cyprus creatine price trackers and are shown for context only — they are not part of the score.
Creatine Monohydrate Creapure 250 g OstroVit
at least 93/100The product name and the titles of the laboratory reports on the page name Creapure; the declared ingredient is creatine monohydrate. The label states 3.0 g of creatine in a 3.5 g serving, 71 servings per 250 g. OstroVit is listed in the Creapure partner directory (Poland, Monohydrat Kreatyny). OstroVit publishes batch-specific laboratory reports for the product on its own page. No independent testing programme is claimed or found in the registries that could be searched.
Best for: Readers who want a named, directory-listed raw material together with published batch reports.
Watch out: The directory lists the brand and product type but not pack sizes, so the match is made at brand level (see the reviewer note). The batch reports are the manufacturer's own publication.
This is a floor. Testing registry not yet checked: the score can rise if a testing registry lists the product, and is withdrawn if a registry contradicts the maker's claim.
Price per 3 g of creatine: €0.27. Cheapest we track: Supplement House lists €20.00 (€8.00/100 g), last seen 5 Nov 2026 — view listing. Price is not part of the score.

Reviewer notes (1)
- Judgement call: the Creapure partner directory row reads "OstroVit(R), Monohydrat Kreatyny, Poland", which names the brand and the Polish product type, not this exact pack. It is counted as the registry match for the brand's Creapure creatine. The pack size is not in the directory.

Creatine CreaCrystal 7Nutrition
at least 85/100The label states 3 g of creatine in a 3.35 g serving, 89.7 g creatine per 100 g, 89 servings per 300 g, from a single ingredient, CreaCrystal creatine monohydrate (500 mesh). 7Nutrition publishes a laboratory report (signed 16 Sep 2026) for the product on its own page. The raw-material brand is named but has no public licensee list we could search, and no independent testing programme is claimed or found in the registries that could be searched.

at least 85/100The label names Creapure creatine monohydrate as its single ingredient and states 3 g of creatine in a 3.5 g serving, 88 g creatine per 100 g and 142 servings per 500 g. Nutrend is listed in the Creapure partner directory (Czech Republic, Creatine Monohydrate). No independent testing programme is claimed on the page, and the brand was not found in the registries that could be searched.

Creatine Monohydrate 500 g OstroVit
at least 73/100The label states 3.0 g of creatine in a 3.4 g serving and 147 servings per 500 g, from a single ingredient, creatine monohydrate. OstroVit publishes batch-specific laboratory reports for the product on its own page. No independent testing programme is claimed or found in the registries that could be searched. The label names no raw-material source and gives no purity figure.
Best for: Readers who want published batch reports next to a single-ingredient creatine monohydrate label.

Creatine Monohydrate Applied Nutrition
at least 70/100The label states 4.4 g of creatine in a 5 g serving, 100 servings per 500 g, from a single ingredient, micronised creatine monohydrate. Applied Nutrition states the unflavoured product is Informed-Sport tested. The Informed Sport register could not be searched from here, so the testing slot is scored as a claim, not a verified listing. No raw-material source or purity figure is stated.
Best for: Readers comparing creatine per serving on a single-ingredient powder with a larger 5 g scoop.
Watch out: A 5 g serving is larger than the 3 g reference level used in the rubric's first criterion (Dose disclosure, C1b); the rubric does not penalise it. The testing statement applies to the unflavoured product only, by the brand's own footnote.

Micronized Creatine Powder 317 g Optimum Nutrition
at least 63/100The German product page states 3.0 g of creatine in a 3.6 g dose, from a single ingredient, creatine monohydrate. For the 317 g pack the pack image prints 93 servings while the page's label record prints 88 servings (317 g / 3.6 g is 88); the two printed numbers disagree and the lower-scoring reading was used, which is why the servings sub-score is reduced. The directions give a 4.5 g dose against 3.6 g in the table. The German page says the powder is made from 100 % pure creatine monohydrate (quoted on the card); it names no source and gives no figure. No independent testing programme is claimed.
Best for: Readers who want to compare the stated creatine per dose; check the physical tub for the dose and servings.
Watch out: The pack image and the page's label record print different servings counts (93 and 88), and the directions give a 4.5 g dose against 3.6 g in the table (see the reviewer note).

Crea Monohydrate 400 g Extrifit
at least 59/100The pack states 5,000 mg of creatine monohydrate per serving and 80 servings per 400 g, from a single ingredient. It prints no creatine figure, so the creatine amount here is derived (5 g x 0.879 = 4.40 g). Extrifit describes the powder as 100% pure and gives the origin only as non-EU, which is a purity wording rather than a named source. No independent testing programme is claimed.
Best for: Readers comparing a larger 5 g serving of a single-ingredient creatine monohydrate.
Watch out: The raw-material origin is not named beyond non-EU. The purity wording is the brand's own and is not checkable.

What we learned reading the labels
All eleven print one ingredient, so the scores are decided elsewhere
Every product here takes the full 25 points for form and formulation: creatine monohydrate as the sole form and nothing else on the ingredient list. The scores, from 48 to 93, are therefore decided by the other three criteria: how the dose is disclosed, whether the raw material is traceable, and what testing is on record.
Printing the creatine figure matters more than it sounds
Three products print the weight of creatine monohydrate per serving but no creatine figure: Amix, Science in Sport and Extrifit. Monohydrate is about 87.9% creatine by mass, so we calculate the amount ourselves and mark it “calculated” on the card. For Amix and Science in Sport (a 3 g serving each) that comes to 2.64 g; for Extrifit (5 g) it is 4.40 g. Those three are the lowest-scoring products on the page, at 48, 53 and 59, and their dose-disclosure scores (23, 23 and 30 out of 40) are the lowest of the eleven: the rubric awards fewer points when the creatine amount has to be derived and, for the 2.64 g figure, when it falls under 3 g per serving. That is the rubric’s rule at work, not a statement about the powders.
Where a label prints its own conversion we use it instead: Nutrend states 88 g of creatine per 100 g and 7Nutrition states 89.7 g.
Two products are in the Creapure partner directory
Creapure is a branded creatine raw material with a public list of partner companies. We read that directory in full on 16 October 2026 (213 rows). OstroVit Creatine Monohydrate Creapure (93) and Nutrend Creatine Monohydrate Creapure (85) both name Creapure, and both brands have a row: “OstroVit(R), Monohydrat Kreatyny, Poland” and “NUTREND(R), Creatine Monohydrate, Czech Republic”. The directory lists a brand, a product type and a country, not pack sizes, so the match is made at brand level and the OstroVit card says so.
7Nutrition Creatine CreaCrystal also names its raw material, as CREA CRYSTAL (500 mesh), but we found no public licensee list for that brand, so it earns 12 of the 20 provenance points rather than 20. Amix has a row in the Creapure directory, but this Amix product does not name Creapure, so it takes no credit from that row.
Two ties, reached differently
Nutrend and 7Nutrition both score 85, but not for the same reasons. Nutrend gets the full 20 for provenance and nothing for testing; 7Nutrition gets 12 for provenance and 8 for testing, because it publishes a laboratory report on its product page (analysis 7 to 13 September 2026, report signed 16 September 2026, one lot). Myprotein and Applied Nutrition tie at 70 for a different reason: both state a dose, both are single-ingredient, both name no raw-material source, and each names a testing programme we could not search.
Testing: what is on record and what is only claimed
We read two public testing databases in full on 16 October 2026 — BSCG Certified Drug Free (2,687 rows) and the Cologne List (2,032 rows). None of the eleven brands appears in either. Informed Sport and Informed Choice were not searched, for the reason above.
Three makers name a programme on their own pages. Myprotein: “Impact Creatine is Informed Choice certified”. Applied Nutrition: “Informed-Sport Tested”, with a footnote that this applies to the unflavoured product only. Science in Sport: “Fully batch tested & informed sport approved”. These are the makers’ statements. Because the registers could not be searched, each earns 5 of 15 points as a claim, not a listing. Three products publish batch-specific laboratory reports on their own pages instead — both OstroVit products and 7Nutrition — and earn 8 of 15. Those reports are the manufacturers’ own publication, not an independent certification. Five products state nothing that scores on this criterion.
When a page disagrees with itself
The German product page for Optimum Nutrition Micronized Creatine Powder (317 g, score 63) prints two different servings counts: the pack image reads “93 SERVINGS” while the page’s label record reads “88 Dosierungen”. The label table gives a 3.6 g dose, and 317 g divided by 3.6 g is 88. The directions on the page give 4.5 g. Our method scores the reading that earns fewer points, so the servings sub-score is reduced, and the card says the two numbers disagree.
What we held back
One MaxiNutrition product sold as Creapure is not on this page. Its name points to Creapure, but the Creapure partner directory we read has no MaxiNutrition row, and under our method that is a hold, not a score. The directory is a “buy here” list, so its completeness is not established; this is a statement about what we could confirm, not about the product. Per4M has no entry because its store was unavailable when we tried to read it.
How to use these scores
The score measures what a label and a manufacturer’s page declare, not whether a product suits you. A few sensible caveats:
- “At least” means a minimum. The score can rise if a testing register we could not search lists the product, and it is withdrawn if a register contradicts the maker’s claim.
- The score says nothing about results. It describes how clearly a product states what is in it.
- Price is not scored. Where we track a local price, the card shows the cheapest one, dated, with the price per 3 g of creatine beside it. Read the two separately.
- Taste and mixability are not scored. They cannot be verified from a label or a register.
- Labels change. Each card shows the date we checked and links its source. Always read the tub in front of you.
To work out the cost of a product that is not listed here, use our supplement cost calculator. For what creatine currently costs locally, see the Malta and Cyprus creatine price trackers, or the Creapure creatine comparison for Cyprus. For background on the form most of these products use, read our creatine monohydrate guide, our creatine buyer’s guide or the research review. The same method applied to protein is in our whey protein reviews.
No stake in these scores, stated plainly
CapyFuel compares prices from retailers in Cyprus and Malta and doesn’t sell supplements. We are not paid for placement here and we do not earn commission on the retailer links. The scores are generated from the declared composition by a published set of rules, which is exactly why we published the rules.
Frequently asked questions
How do you score creatine powders?
Out of 100, from what the label and the manufacturer's page declare, across four things: dose disclosure (40 points), form and formulation (25), raw-material provenance (20) and independent testing (15). Price is not part of the score. The full method is published on the page so you can check our working, and each review shows its own points breakdown.
Why is every score shown as "at least"?
Independent testing is the last 15 points, and two of the four registers we planned to search, Informed Sport and Informed Choice, answer automated requests with a Cloudflare challenge that we did not get around. Those two registers were not searched, so a product could be listed there and score higher. The BSCG and Cologne List databases were read in full; none of the eleven brands appears in either.
What does "calculated" creatine mean on a card?
Some labels print the weight of creatine monohydrate per serving but no creatine figure. Creatine monohydrate is about 87.9 percent creatine by mass, so in that case we calculate the creatine amount and mark it as calculated. Where a label prints its own conversion, as Nutrend and 7Nutrition do, we use the label's figure instead. Amix, Extrifit and Science in Sport are the three products whose creatine amount is calculated.
Do you review your own products?
No. CapyFuel compares prices from retailers in Cyprus and Malta and doesn't sell supplements. We are not paid for placement and we do not earn commission on the retailer links. The scores are generated from the declared composition by a published set of rules.
