How we checked

Does either one use Creapure?

Momentous says it no longer uses Creapure. Thorne does not say it uses it. Creapure is a brand of creatine made in Germany. It tells you where the powder was made. It is not an outside test, and we found no trial comparing it with other creatine monohydrate (what Creapure means).

Momentous product page FAQ: Is Momentous Creatine made with Creapure? Momentous no longer sources creatine from Creapure. — Momentous’s own answer on its product page. A tub on a shelf may still carry an older label, so check yours. Screenshots taken October 5, 2026; click an image to open the live page.

Thorne’s labels filed through October 22, 2021 named Creapure. The labels filed since 2022 list creatine monohydrate and do not say where it came from.

Supplement Facts panel from the Momentous label: 1 scoop (5 g) serving. — **Momentous** · 15.8 oz (450 g) tub, 90 servings Label on file with NIH DSLD 321458, entered March 25, 2025. This is the label for the 450 g, 90-serving tub, the one we link.

Supplement Facts panel from the Thorne label: 1 scoop (5 g) serving. — **Thorne** · 16 oz (450 g) tub, 90 scoops Label on file with NIH DSLD 298066, entered September 25, 2023. This is the label for the 90-serving tub, the one we link. NSF lists the same tub as 453 g.

Which NSF listings cover each tub?

A lot is one batch. Its number is printed on the tub. NSF lists the lots it has certified, or says “All”.

Drug-tested? Momentous is the safer pick. One of its NSF listings covers every lot of the 450 g tub, so any tub you buy is covered. Thorne’s two listings name 77 lots between them. A Thorne tub from a lot not on either list is not one NSF has named, so check yours (how to check a lot).

Momentous’s label also shows the Informed Sport mark. We did not find this product on the Informed Sport list when we searched it.

Which one costs less?

Momentous, by a cent a day. Over a year of 5 g a day, that is about $4.

Amazon prices, checked November 4, 2026. Each label’s serving is 5 g of creatine.
Tub	Price	A day	A year
