How we verify

The brand submits the formula. We read the supplement facts panel and weigh dose, form and synergy against the clinical evidence. Labs test. IngredientMD verifies. The fee pays for review time, never for the outcome.

Creatine Monohydrate

A small improvement in memory (standardized effect 0.29)

Also gives healthy adults a small memory benefit. Measured in healthy people, pooled across 8 randomised trials (0.04 to 0.53).

Meta-analysis
Potassium

Meta-analysis, 2015

Across 14 studies, alkaline potassium salts lowered urinary calcium excretion and the bone-resorption marker NTX, consistent with conserving bone mineral.

Creatine Monohydrate

Meta-analysis, 2025

Across 69 trials in 1,937 adults, creatine with resistance training added about 1.43 kg to bench press and 5.64 kg to squat, with no change in grip strength.

Frontiers in Nutrition
Creatine Monohydrate

About 1.4 kg more lean mass than the same resistance training without it

Adds strength and lean muscle in people doing resistance training. Measured in older adults (about 57 to 70 years) training 2 to 3 days a week (1.0 to 1.8 kg).

Creatine Monohydrate

Meta-analysis, 2025

Pooling trials of creatine alongside resistance training, creatine groups gained more muscle strength than controls, with larger gains in untrained people and at low to moderate doses.

Sodium (as sea salt)

Randomised trial, 2020

In a controlled dietary intervention in adults, changing sodium and potassium intake shifted how the body handled calcium and phosphate, indicating that sodium intake affects normal mineral balance.

Sodium (as sea salt)

Systematic review, 2026

A systematic review catalogued gastrointestinal symptoms reported across sodium bicarbonate dosing protocols and described how symptom burden varies with dose, timing and whether the dose is split or given with food.

Potassium

Meta-analysis, 2023

Pooling controlled trials, potassium improved how well blood vessels widen in response to blood flow, a functional marker.

What the trials show

What the trials show about timing.

Time-to-effect windows the engine read from the trial record. Each is a window a named study measured, cited and dated, never written by the brand.

  • Creatine Monohydrateabout 4 weeks of daily useBuilds with daily use

    In the trial record, muscle creatine stores rise to a loaded level over about 4 weeks at 3 g daily, or about 1 week with a higher loading dose, and return toward baseline about 4 weeks after stopping.

    Strong
  • Sodium (as sea salt)about 3 days to 4 weeks of steady intakeBuilds with daily use

    In the excretion studies the EFSA reference opinion reviews, urinary output closely tracked dietary sodium once intake was held steady: 98% of dietary sodium appeared in 24-hour urine in a 3-day study, and 86% of sodium ingested over 4 weeks was recovered in 24-hour urine collected during the same period.

    Early
  • Sodium (as sea salt)about 29 days at each fixed intake levelBuilds with daily use

    In the controlled metabolic study the EFSA reference opinion reviews, young men held at constant sodium intakes for 29 days per level showed rising average daily urinary aldosterone excretion as intake was stepped down from 4.9 g/day to 2.5 g/day.

Chemical form

The same ingredient, carried differently.

What each form is, and where it fits in a formula. Measured findings carry the study that reported them.

  • Creatine monohydrate

    Creatine complexed with one molecule of water in a crystalline powder. It is the most widely manufactured and most studied form of creatine, and the form sold as Creapure.

    Fits
    The reference form behind the large majority of creatine research, so a formula built on it inherits that deep body of characterisation. It dissolves in warm liquid and is inexpensive to source at scale.
    Trade-off
    Cold-water solubility is modest, so it can settle as grit at the bottom of a cold drink, and the neutral powder needs mixing into a flavoured liquid.

    In a seven-week double-blind randomised trial in untrained men, creatine monohydrate raised total muscle creatine content relative to placebo alongside a matched resistance-training programme.

Descriptions of the form itself, read from the cited studies. Not a comparison between products and not a statement about any individual.

Format

Powder

It is a powder, so the serving scales to the amount you want and mixes into something you already drink.

Best forGram-scale actives: creatine, collagen, protein, electrolytes, beta-alanine.
Recurring supply suggested

Because the effect builds and holds only with continued daily use, a steady recurring supply is the practical way to keep it going.
