Earlier this year, my colleague Arielle Avila dug deep into the <a href=\"https:\/\/nymag.com\/strategist\/article\/should-you-be-taking-creatine.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">subject<\/a>, and I\u2019ve noticed a host of brands have added more creatine-inclusive options to their lines (including Bulletproof\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.bulletproof.com\/products\/creatine-coffee\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Coffee + Creatine<\/a>, Mindbodygreen\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/1f14d4f4.streaklinks.com\/CnH12D_iYrexsTgiQQw_avwI\/https%3A%2F%2Fshop.mindbodygreen.com%2Fproducts%2Fcreatine-stick-packs\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Creatine With Taurine+<\/a>, and Vega\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/myvega.com\/products\/vega-creatine-monohydrate\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Creatine Capsules<\/a>). I\u2019ve heard from many of my friends and family members about how they\u2019ve started incorporating creatine into their daily routines, too: My 63-year-old father swears by creatine gummies, and my younger brother, who plays a college sport, likes the powder. While it might seem like just another gym-bro trend, creatine is actually one of the most well-studied supplements to improve exercise performance and boost strength. Some studies have indicated it has even greater benefits, like supporting cognitive function, mobility in <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC12272710\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">older adults<\/a>, and even <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/40371844\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">women\u2019s health<\/a> during period cycles and menopause. In other words, it\u2019s not just for fitness buffs; anyone who counts themself as health conscious might benefit from trying it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"clay-paragraph\" data-editable=\"text\" data-uri=\"nymag.com\/strategist\/_components\/clay-paragraph\/instances\/cmmnq86r000n73b7ca7n0cpcs@published\" data-word-count=\"63\">In simple terms, creatine is a natural, non-protein compound. Most people get creatine through their diet, by eating red meat or seafood, and the body can even produce it, mainly in our liver, kidneys, and pancreas. But taking a supplement can help increase your body\u2019s creatine stores, which draws more water into your muscles and increases adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production for increased energy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"clay-paragraph\" data-editable=\"text\" data-uri=\"nymag.com\/strategist\/_components\/clay-paragraph\/instances\/cmmnq86r100n83b7cfdybhtyr@published\" data-word-count=\"137\">I started using Momentous creatine because it was the supplement my fianc\u00e9 uses and we already had it in our house. Compared to other creatines on the market, Momentous boasts high-standard manufacturing and a range of safety certifications. It\u2019s NSF Certified for Sport, meaning it has been independently tested for contaminants and banned substances. Momentous also uses <a href=\"https:\/\/www.creapure.com\/en\/creapurer\/what-is-creapurer\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Creapure<\/a>, which is the brand name for pure creatine monohydrate, produced by the German company Alzchem. Creapure is known for its purity and rigorous testing standards, plus it\u2019s certified vegan and kosher and halal certified. Creapure\u2019s production meets FSSC (Food Safety System Certification) 22000 certification, a rigorous, globally recognized quality standard. I also love that it\u2019s free from fillers, additives, and artificial sweeteners. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Momentous-Creatine-Chews-Monohydrate-Certified\/dp\/B0G765JCVC?tag=thestrategistsite-20&amp;ascsubtag=__st0000zam__cmmnq5vd600010ievpgjzdexw__________________\" rel=\"sponsored,nofollow noopener\" data-track-type=\"product-link\" target=\"_blank\">Creatine Chews<\/a> come in a few fun fruit flavors, too, if you\u2019d rather not use a powder.<\/p>\n<p>      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B085Z9P87K?tag=thestrategistsite-20&amp;ascsubtag=__st0000zam__cmmnq5vd600010ievpgjzdexw__281582________________\" rel=\"sponsored,nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"product-buy-link\" data-track-type=\"product-link\" data-track-variant=\"product - image\" data-track-id=\"eVWYZg\" data-merchant-id=\"281582\" data-track-name=\"Momentous Creatine\" data-track-option=\"Image\" data-track-merchant=\"Amazon\" data-track-manufacturer=\"Momentous\" data-track-price=\"40\" data-track-currency=\"$\" data-track-badges=\"\" data-track-source=\"\" data-track-medium=\"\" data-track-campaign=\"\" data-track-sponsored=\"\" data-affiliate-subtag=\"__st0000znm__cmmnq5vd600010ievpgjzdexw__281582\" data-affiliate-links-ignore=\"true\" apple-news-product-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B085Z9P87K?tag=thestrategistsite-20&amp;ascsubtag=__st0000znm__cmmnq5vd600010ievpgjzdexw__281582\" data-aps-asin=\"B085Z9P87K\" data-aps-asc-tag=\"thestrategistsite-20\" data-aps-asc-subtag=\"__st0000znm__cmmnq5vd600010ievpgjzdexw__281582\"><br \/>\n              <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/9fbaebb1b45017385626a1e29c7e00d2a4-V3-Creatine-90-2000x2000-FEB142025-CC-4.rsquare.w215.png\" class=\"product-image-img\" data-content-img=\"\" alt=\"Momentous Creatine\" width=\"215\" height=\"215\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;\" loading=\"lazy\"\/> <\/p>\n<p>      <\/a><\/p>\n<p>                  Want to be emailed about sales and other updates to your saved products?<\/p>\n<p>                  Success!

It dissolves easily, and I try to drink it each morning, even on days when I know I won\u2019t be exercising. Since I began testing Momentous a few months ago, I\u2019ve stuck to my usual workout regiment to see how the supplement works. I\u2019m active about five to six times per week, from Pilates and HIIT classes to running, cycling, and long walks. I\u2019ve noticed that I\u2019m less sore at the end of each day, and my muscles seem to recover more quickly after a super-intense workout. I\u2019ve always known that (genetically) I can build muscle mass and strength rather quickly \u2014 my mother was a rhythmic gymnast \u2014 but with Momentous, it feels like I\u2019m leaner and have more energy to push through hard training sessions. When I\u2019m sprinting or conquering a massive hill on my bike, I feel a little less breathless, which makes sense since creatine shines in those quick, high-intensity bursts. I\u2019ve also noticed that I feel sharper throughout my workdays even if I\u2019m sleep deprived.<\/p>\n<p class=\"clay-paragraph\" data-editable=\"text\" data-uri=\"nymag.com\/strategist\/_components\/clay-paragraph\/instances\/cmmns4qsl000h3b78sznriino@published\" data-word-count=\"136\">Even on my rest days, it seems like my recovery is maximized. After simply drinking my creatine and relaxing, the next day I\u2019m able to do heavier reps, like increasing weight on squats or bicep curls where I might not have been able to before. When I\u2019m running out the door or want a little more flavor, I\u2019ll opt for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Momentous-Creatine-Lemon-Monohydrate-Powder\/dp\/B0FDY7RK4H?tag=thestrategistsite-20&amp;ascsubtag=__st0000zam__cmmnq5vd600010ievpgjzdexw__________________\" rel=\"sponsored,nofollow noopener\" data-track-type=\"product-link\" target=\"_blank\">Momentous Travel Packs<\/a> in the lemon flavor, which basically tastes similar to citrusy electrolytes (they also come in the original unflavored version). Having these packets with me when I\u2019m away from home is key, since taking creatine consistently helps maintain muscle saturation, meaning the cells are optimized for energy production. After three months of trying Momentous, I feel stronger and more energized with less brain fog \u2014 and certain that creatine is worth the hype.<\/p>\n<p>      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0FDY7RK4H?tag=thestrategistsite-20&amp;ascsubtag=__st0000zam__cmmnq5vd600010ievpgjzdexw__279367________________\" rel=\"sponsored,nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"product-buy-link\" data-track-type=\"product-link\" data-track-variant=\"product - image\" data-track-id=\"CKS9G5\" data-merchant-id=\"279367\" data-track-name=\"Momentous Creatine 15-Travel Packs - Lemon\" data-track-option=\"Image\" data-track-merchant=\"Amazon\" data-track-manufacturer=\"Momentous\" data-track-price=\"23\" data-track-currency=\"$\" data-track-badges=\"\" data-track-source=\"\" data-track-medium=\"\" data-track-campaign=\"\" data-track-sponsored=\"\" data-affiliate-subtag=\"__st0000znm__cmmnq5vd600010ievpgjzdexw__279367\" data-affiliate-links-ignore=\"true\" apple-news-product-url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0FDY7RK4H?tag=thestrategistsite-20&amp;ascsubtag=__st0000znm__cmmnq5vd600010ievpgjzdexw__279367\" data-aps-asin=\"B0FDY7RK4H\" data-aps-asc-tag=\"thestrategistsite-20\" data-aps-asc-subtag=\"__st0000znm__cmmnq5vd600010ievpgjzdexw__279367\"><br \/>\n              <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/952ac162202ce38d0dd22adc858ca06956-momentous-creatine.rdeep-vertical.w215.jpg\" class=\"product-image-img\" data-content-img=\"\" alt=\"Momentous Creatine 15-Travel Packs - Lemon\" width=\"215\" height=\"322\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;\" loading=\"lazy\"\/> <\/p>\n<p>      <\/a><\/p>\n<p>                  Want to be emailed about sales and other updates to your saved products?<\/p>\n<p>                  Success!
