Muscletech Platinum Flavoured Creatine Monohydrate 60 Serves
- 5 g micronised creatine monohydrate per scoop — the most-researched creatine form.
- Supports strength and power output alongside resistance training.
- Zero sugar, flavoured Red Berry or Grape Freeze — sweetened with sucralose and stevia.
- Micronised to mix clear in water, juice or a shake.
MuscleTech Platinum 100% Creatine Monohydrate is a flavoured, micronised creatine monohydrate powder from MuscleTech (established 1995), delivering 5 g of creatine monohydrate per 7 g scoop across roughly 60 serves — the most-researched form of creatine, in a sugar-free Red Berry or Grape Freeze mix.
The most-researched creatine. Now flavoured.
5 g of micronised creatine monohydrate per scoop to support strength and power output alongside resistance training — with zero sugar and two flavours that actually mix clear.
Proven creatine, made easy to take
- 5 g of creatine monohydrate per scoop — the daily amount used in the research shown to support strength and power output when paired with resistance training [1].
- The most-studied form — creatine monohydrate is the form behind the majority of published creatine research [1], not a newer, thinly-tested variant.
- Micronised for easy mixing — the powder is finely milled so it disperses in water or juice without the grit and clumping of coarse creatine.
- Flavoured and zero sugar — Red Berry or Grape Freeze, sweetened with sucralose and steviol glycosides, so a scoop is not a chalky chore.
Why it works
Short, hard efforts run on stored energy. Sprints, heavy sets and repeat jumps are powered by ATP, and your muscles can only hold a few seconds of it at a time. When those stores run low mid-set, force output drops and the last reps get harder to finish.
Creatine tops up the tank. Supplementing creatine monohydrate raises the phosphocreatine your muscles use to regenerate ATP between efforts, which helps support strength, power output and high-intensity training performance when combined with resistance training [1].
The dose the studies use. Each scoop delivers 5 g of micronised creatine monohydrate — the maintenance amount used across the creatine literature [1]. It is a single-ingredient active: creatine, plus flavour, colour from plant and algae sources, and sweeteners. Nothing hidden in a blend.
What's inside (per serve)
| Per 1 scoop (7 g) | Amount | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Micronised creatine monohydrate | 5 g | The active — supports strength & power [1] |
| Sodium | 60 mg | From Himalayan pink salt & sodium citrate (3% DV) |
| Sugar | 0 g | Sweetened with sucralose & stevia (Reb A) |
The full, flavour-specific ingredient list sits in the Supplement Facts tab. Red Berry and Grape Freeze share the same 5 g creatine base and differ only in their flavour and natural colour system.
How to use
- Daily. Mix 1 scoop (5 g creatine) with about 250 ml (8 oz) of water, juice or a protein shake, and drink.
- Optional loading. To saturate faster, take 1 scoop four times a day for the first 3 days, then drop to 1 scoop daily. Loading is optional — a single daily scoop reaches the same point over a few weeks.
- Timing doesn't make or break it. Any time of day works; taking it consistently every day matters more than the exact time.
- Stay hydrated. Drink water across the day while using creatine.

Single-active transparency. One creatine form, one printed dose — 5 g of micronised creatine monohydrate per scoop. No proprietary blend, no undisclosed "matrix", nothing to fairy-dust.
Stack with
Lifters usually run creatine alongside a daily whey or plant protein to hit their protein target, and a pre-workout for training energy on hard sessions. Creatine is the steady, take-it-every-day base of that trio — it does its work through consistency, not a pre-session hit.
FAQ
How much creatine is in each scoop?
Each 7 g scoop delivers 5 g of micronised creatine monohydrate, plus 60 mg of sodium and the flavour system. Five grams is the standard daily maintenance amount used across creatine research, so one scoop a day covers it.
Do I need to do a loading phase?
No — loading is optional. Taking 1 scoop four times daily for 3 days saturates your muscles faster, but a single daily scoop reaches the same level over roughly two to three weeks. Both approaches end up in the same place; pick whichever suits you.
When is the best time to take it?
Any time of day works. Unlike a pre-workout, creatine builds up in the muscle over days, so the benefit comes from taking it every day rather than timing it around a session. Pick a time you'll remember and keep it consistent.
Is creatine monohydrate different from creatine HCl?
They are different chemical forms of creatine. Monohydrate is the most-researched and most widely used form. We make no claim that any form is superior to, or gram-for-gram equivalent to, another — this product uses monohydrate at 5 g per scoop.
Does it contain sugar?
No. Both flavours are sweetened with sucralose and steviol glycosides (Rebaudioside A, from stevia leaf), so there is no added sugar and the mix is effectively energy-free — the flavour without the calories of a sugary drink.
Is it suitable for vegetarians and vegans?
The formula uses no animal-derived ingredients — the creatine is synthesised, and the colours come from beet, spirulina or beta-carotene. However, it is made in a facility that also handles milk, egg, fish and shellfish, so those with strict requirements should weigh the shared-facility note above.
Will it make me hold water?
Creatine draws a little extra water into your muscle cells, which is part of how it works and can show as a small, early bump on the scales. It is intracellular water in the muscle, not bloating, and it settles as your body adjusts.
How does it mix?
It's micronised — finely milled — so it disperses into about 250 ml of water, juice or a shake with a quick stir or shake and little grit. The Red Berry and Grape Freeze flavours are designed to be drunk straight rather than hidden in another drink.
