The 2lbs of Horbäach Creatine Monohydrate Powder is still cheaper at full price on Amazon. Besides a brief venture with Optimum Nutrition, I've been using Horbäach for years without any qualms. The creatine is cut very finely which makes it much less chalky tasting than other brands, too.
The discount also applies to the 2 lb bag which is a bit cheaper yet per serving, ended up signing up for that. Thanks!
Whether taking creatine supplements is "natural" completely misses the point.

The real question is: Does it work? Is it safe? Does it improve quality of life with minimal side effects?

Just because the body naturally produces testosterone doesn't make TRT inherently "natural", and honestly, who cares? Your body also "naturally" produces ammonia and uric acid too, both toxic in excess. "Natural" doesn't mean "harmless".

Creatine monohydrate has been studied since the 90's and is one of the most widely researched and reviewed dietary supplements in human history. It is regarded as one of the safest dietary supplements, with proven benefits in strength, cognition, and overall health.

The safest option is to take nothing at all. But if you're open to supplements, creatine monohydrate is one of the best-backed and lowest-risk choices you can make.

I don't really drink coffee, but I take like a 1/3rd a scoop of this stuff in the morning and I feel like it really helps get my mind going. Doesn't taste like anything and mixes decently enough in water. Simple and fast when I'm running late lol

Use a scale. No more guessing.

Don't want the extra step, personally. It's just nice to have a manufacturer that includes its own measuring device that is appropriate for the suggested serving size. I could weigh all of my protein powders on a scale too, but I'd rather just put a scoop in my shaker cup and know that I got the right amount.

But that's the problem....measuring by volume is inaccurate, period. It's not a manufacturing company decision affecting that, it's just....the way it works:

Using a scale to measure powder supplements is more accurate than using volume because weight provides a direct, consistent measurement, whereas volume can vary due to several factors.

Powdered supplements can have different densities, meaning the same volume can contain varying amounts of the substance. For example, a scoop of one supplement may weigh more than the same scoop of another due to differences in particle size and packing.

Over time, powders can settle or compact, especially if the container is not shaken before use. This compaction increases the powder's density, leading to more powder in a scoop than intended.

The way a scoop is filled—whether it's leveled, heaping, or packed—can significantly affect the amount of powder measured. This inconsistency makes volume measurements unreliable.

Humidity and temperature can alter the volume of powders. For instance, moisture can cause powders to clump or absorb water, changing their volume without affecting their weight.

Scales provide exact measurements, reducing the risk of under or overdosing.

Weighing ensures uniformity across different batches, which is crucial for maintaining desired effects.

Which is why powder supplements are sold by weight, not by volume… and many people leaving 1 star reviews don't understand that because they think they didn't get the full amount when they see the tub isn't full to the brim.

But for something where the dose isn't absolutely crucial to get exact, a scoop is just really convenient and doesn't cost much to add.

Costco has 1.49lbs of the ON micronized creatine on sale for $14.99. How do these two compare?

Thanks OP, now I just need a deal on dihydrogen monoxide to mix it with.

Dihydrogen monoxide has been found to be deadly in larger doses. Additionally, there have recently been other added to it. I've also heard that once you cycle off after using for years, you will die. Nasty stuff.

Thanks OP. I like that the serving size is actually one level scoop. Maybe I'm a little picky, but I don't like that most creatine supplements state that a serving as one rounded scoop. I always feel like I'm taking heaping scoops just to make sure I'm getting my 5 g daily when serving sizes are subjective.
Does this actually make a difference? I've never used creatine. When do you use it? Pre or post workout?

ON has been around much longer and is tried and true. Thats really the only reason. Reputation.
Costco sells other supplements from Sports Research, how's that for reputation?

Pre-workout. It's an energy source for your muscles that, once they're "loaded", can help you produce more power in your lifts.

You can take it any time of the day, as long as you are consistent. Since it is not a stimulant, taking it before a workout offers no extra advantage.
