Jocko Creatine: 5 g and Nothing Else, a Newer Creatine+ With ATP and a Lead Warning, and No Named Lab

Jocko Fuel's plain creatine is one ingredient, 5 g of creatine monohydrate per scoop or stick, at $0.089 a gram in the tub. Its 2026 Creatine+ adds 400 mg of Peak ATP and magnesium, costs $0.333 per gram of creatine, and its panel carries California's lead warning. Neither is on either NSF list.

Jocko Fuel is the supplement company associated with the former Navy SEAL officer and podcaster Jocko Willink, and its creatine is sold to the same audience as its pre-workouts and protein. It has one plain creatine and, since September 2026, a "Pro Series" Creatine+ with added ATP and magnesium. Searches for "jocko creatine" run to about 2,900 US searches a month.

Read on 2 November 2026 from Jocko Fuel's store — the product feed, the product pages and the printed panels it shows — and checked against NSF's two public listings. Jocko Fuel is profiled here on its own facts and not ranked; the creatine label index lists it with the other brands.

Two products, three panels

Jocko Fuel product (panel shown 2026-11-02) Serving Creatine Everything else on the panel
Creatine, tub 1 scoop (5 g), approx. 90 servings 5 g creatine monohydrate none — "Other Ingredients: None"
Creatine, stick packs 1 stick (5 g), 30 per box 5 g creatine monohydrate none
Pro Series Creatine+, unflavoured 1 scoop (6 g), 30 servings 5,000 mg creatine (as creatine monohydrate) Peak ATP 400 mg, magnesium (glycinate) 120 mg, sodium 30 mg, 0 calories

The plain product is as simple as creatine labels get: one line, nothing added, distributed by Jocko Fuel, LLC of Jay, Maine. The directions on both plain panels are one serving in 8 oz of liquid once a day.

The Creatine+ wording. "Creatine (as creatine monohydrate) 5000 mg" is ambiguous on its face: it can be read as 5,000 mg of creatine supplied as monohydrate, which would need about 5.7 g of monohydrate, or as 5,000 mg of monohydrate. The unflavoured scoop is 6 g, and with 400 mg of ATP and the magnesium glycinate inside it, the second reading fits the weight; the label does not settle it. The store's directions give the strawberry-guava scoop as 9.1 g.

The lead notice on Creatine+

The Creatine+ label carries California's Proposition 65 notice: "Risk of reproductive harm from exposure to lead." That notice is placed when a product may expose a California consumer to lead above the state's safe-harbour level, or as a precaution against that possibility. It is not a measurement, and the label does not say how much lead is present or which ingredient it is attributed to. The plain creatine panels shown on the store carry no such notice.

It is a disclosure most brands profiled on this site do not make, and its presence on the multi-ingredient product but not the single-ingredient one is the part a reader can check. Lead in supplements, and what certification schemes test for, is covered on NSF-certified creatine.

The testing claim

The plain creatine page says Jocko's creatine is "third-party tested", and a pop-up states that independent labs test every batch for purity, potency and safety. No laboratory is named and no certificate of analysis is linked from the product page. On 2 November 2026:

  • NSF's Certified for Sport register, read in full, listed no Jocko Fuel product.
  • NSF's dietary-supplement contents listing (NSF/ANSI 173) returned "No Matching Products Found" for the trade name Jocko.

A testing claim without a named lab or published result cannot be checked from outside. That is a statement about what is visible, not about whether testing happens.

Copy next to the panels

  • "Over 500" or "over 1,000" studies. The description says the company reviewed over 500 clinical studies to settle on its dose; the FAQ on the same page says creatine is supported by over 1,000 studies. Neither figure is sourced. The 5 g serving matches the maintenance amount most trials used, set out on how much creatine.
  • No loading. The FAQ says one 5 g scoop a day reaches saturation "over the first couple of weeks" and loading is optional. The trials behind that timeline, and the 3 g × 28 days figure, are on creatine loading phase.
  • Cognition. The FAQ calls creatine a nootropic. What the brain trials do and do not show is on creatine and the brain.
  • Creatine+ and "the ATP basic monohydrate doesn't have". Oral ATP has its own small literature: a 2024 meta-analysis pooled 5 randomised trials in 121 resistance-trained men and found 400 mg of ATP improved maximal strength by 8.1 kg against placebo (95% CI 3.4–12.9 kg), with no difference in maximum repetitions or anaerobic power (González-Marenco et al., Sports 2024, PMID 38535745). No trial has tested ATP together with creatine, so what the combination adds over creatine alone is not established.

The cost of a gram

Jocko Fuel product List price, 2026-11-02 Creatine per pack Dollars per gram of creatine
Creatine, ~90-serving tub $39.99 ~450 g $0.089
Creatine, 30 stick packs $24.99 150 g $0.167
Pro Series Creatine+, 30 servings $49.99 150 g + 12 g ATP + magnesium $0.333

Our arithmetic: servings × 5 g, then price ÷ grams; list prices before shipping, tax or subscription discount. The stick packs cost almost twice the tub per gram; Creatine+ nearly four times, part of which pays for the ATP and magnesium. How these compare with other brands and formats is on how much creatine costs.

What is missing from Jocko's disclosure

  • The laboratory behind "third-party tested", and any batch result.
  • The source or maker of the creatine, on any panel.
  • A lead figure for Creatine+, and which ingredient the Proposition 65 notice concerns.
  • Which reading of "Creatine (as creatine monohydrate) 5000 mg" is meant.
  • A source for the 500 or 1,000 studies.

Limits of this profile

Everything here was read on one day, 2 November 2026, from the brand's own store and two NSF listings; labels, prices and copy can change afterwards. The panel images are the brand's uploads, and a tub bought in a shop may carry a different version. A Proposition 65 notice is a legal disclosure, not a test result, and its absence on one label is not a lead measurement either. No product was bought, opened or analysed.

Frequently asked questions

How much creatine is in Jocko creatine?

5 g of creatine monohydrate per scoop of the tub and per stick pack, with no other ingredient listed, as printed on the panels shown on Jocko Fuel's store on 2026-11-02. The tub panel says approximately 90 servings; the stick-pack box holds 30.

What is in Jocko Creatine+?

Per scoop of the unflavoured version (6 g): 5,000 mg of creatine as creatine monohydrate, 400 mg of Peak ATP, a branded form of adenosine triphosphate, 120 mg of magnesium as magnesium glycinate and 30 mg of sodium. The strawberry-guava version has a 9.1 g scoop, according to the store's directions.

Why does Jocko Creatine+ have a lead warning?

Its label carries California's Proposition 65 notice for lead, which a company places when a product may expose a California consumer to lead above the state's safe-harbour level, or as a precaution. The label gives no lead measurement and does not say which ingredient the notice relates to. The plain Jocko Creatine panels on the store show no such notice.

Is Jocko creatine third-party tested?

The store says independent labs test every batch for purity, potency and safety. It does not name a laboratory or publish a certificate of analysis on the product page, and Jocko Fuel does not appear on NSF's Certified for Sport register or its contents-certification listing as read on 2026-11-02.

Does Peak ATP add anything to creatine?

No trial has tested Jocko's Creatine+ or creatine combined with oral ATP. Oral ATP on its own has been studied: a 2024 meta-analysis of five small trials in 121 resistance-trained men found 400 mg improved maximal strength by about 8 kg against placebo but did not change repetitions or anaerobic power. What a combination adds over creatine alone is not established.

Does this page say whether Jocko is a good brand?

No. It reads Jocko Fuel's panels and store copy and two public registers, and reports what each says and what the numbers come to. Nothing was bought or tested, and the brand is not placed above or below any other.
