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.

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.
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.
