Editorial review summary

SuppCheckr reviewed Nutricost's 500 g unflavored creatine monohydrate powder from cited Supplement Facts and dated retailer pricing. The 84/100 creatine-profile score reflects a clear 5 g scoop serving and simple formula, not a verdict that the product is "good" for every buyer. Third-party testing is recorded as a retailer/brand statement because no batch COA or NSF certificate URL was captured.

Pros

Clear label states 5 g creatine monohydrate per scoop on cited Supplement Facts.
Simple single-ingredient formula on cited label (micronized creatine monohydrate).
Among the lower observed price-per-5g values in this draft cluster at the cited retailer check.

Cons

Third-party testing is marketed but not verified with a captured certificate in Phase 2D.
Nutricost sells many flavored creatine SKUs; buyers should confirm the unflavored 500 g SKU.

Label and dose analysis

The cited iHerb Supplement Facts for Performance Creatine Monohydrate 500 g show 5 g creatine monohydrate per 5 g scoop and 100 servings. That is straightforward dose disclosure. Nutricost also sells flavored creatine SKUs, so buyers should confirm the unflavored 500 g listing before purchase.

Testing and certification

Testing status is claimed, not verified. Retailer language is not the same as a captured NSF, Informed Sport, USP, or batch COA document. The 55 testing criterion score records that distinction. SuppCheckr did not find NSF certification documentation for this 500 g powder.

Value and dated price

Using the 2026-06-26 Nutricost.com price of $23.97 and 100 servings of 5 g, price per serving and price per 5 g creatine are both $0.24. That dated figure is cluster context, not a live price. Confirm the current retailer price before buying.

Product format notes

This SKU is an unflavored powder with a 5 g scoop serving on the cited label. That is simpler to compare with other 5 g powders than capsule products such as NOW Sports 750 mg veg capsules that require several capsules per serving. The cited Supplement Facts describe a scoop serving; SuppCheckr could not independently verify that every 500 g container includes a physical scoop.

Bottom line

On cited label facts and dated price math, this 500 g Nutricost powder is a clear, budget-oriented monohydrate option in the creatine cluster. SuppCheckr does not treat the 84 score as proof the product is legitimate in a legal or testing-program sense, or as a personal recommendation. If a captured third-party certificate is required, this review does not currently provide one.

FAQ

What does the Nutricost creatine review cover?: This page reviews the 500 g unflavored Nutricost creatine monohydrate powder using cited Supplement Facts, dated Nutricost.com pricing, and the creatine scoring profile. It is not a hands-on test and not medical advice.
Is Nutricost creatine good?: SuppCheckr does not answer that as a general endorsement. The 84/100 score means this SKU compared well on label clarity, a 5 g monohydrate serving, formula simplicity, and dated price per 5 g, while documented third-party certification was not captured. Whether that mix fits a buyer depends on their own priorities.
Is Nutricost creatine legitimate?: SuppCheckr verified a cited Supplement Facts panel and a dated retailer price for this SKU. That is not a company-background investigation or a legal determination. Buyers who need certification paperwork should look for a captured COA or recognized program listing, which this review did not find for the 500 g powder.
Is Nutricost creatine third-party tested?: Retailer copy states third-party testing. SuppCheckr records that as a claimed statement because no certificate URL or batch COA was captured for this SKU.
Is Nutricost creatine NSF certified?: SuppCheckr did not find NSF certification documentation for this 500 g unflavored powder. Absence of a captured NSF listing is not the same as proof that no program exists; it means this review could not independently verify NSF certification.
Does Nutricost creatine come with a scoop?: The cited Supplement Facts list the serving size as 1 scoop (5 g). SuppCheckr could not independently verify that a physical scoop is included in every 500 g container.
What was the cited Nutricost creatine 500 g price?: Nutricost.com listed the unflavored 500 g variant at $23.97 on 2026-06-26 ($0.24 per 5 g serving). Check the retailer for the current price.
