Mindbodygreen began as a wellness publisher and now sells supplements under the same name, with creatine as one of its largest lines and much of its marketing aimed at women in their thirties to fifties. Searches for "mindbodygreen creatine" run to about 2,900 US searches a month.
Read on 3 November 2026 from the mindbodygreen shop — its product feed, the six product pages, the Supplement Facts images and the lot results printed on the pages — and checked against NSF's two public listings. Mindbodygreen is profiled here on its own facts and not ranked; the creatine label index lists it with the other brands.
Six formulas from one base
| Mindbodygreen product (panel read 2026-11-03) | Serving | Creatine monohydrate | What else the panel lists |
|---|---|---|---|
| Creatine with taurine+, bag (raspberry panel) | 1 scoop (9.2 g), 60 servings | 5 g | taurine 2 g, sodium 50 mg; raspberry juice extract, citric acid, flavours, salt, stevia, beet juice |
| Creatine with taurine+, drink-mix sticks (unflavoured) | 1 stick (7.65 g), 30 | 5 g | taurine 2 g; silica |
| Creatine recovery+ (unflavoured) | 1 stick (6 g), 30 | 5 g | magnesium (as dimagnesium malate) 100 mg; silica |
| Creatine brain+ (unflavoured) | 1 stick (5.9 g), 30 | 5 g | citicoline (as Cognizin) 500 mg; silica |
| Creatine tone+ (raspberry) | 1 stick (7.7 g), 30 | 5 g | veld grape extract (CQR-300) 300 mg, ginger root extract 125 mg, sodium 55 mg; raspberry flavouring system |
| Creatine with electrolytes+ (lemon lime) | 1 stick (6.9 g), 30 | 3 g | sodium 350 mg, chloride 540 mg, potassium 400 mg, magnesium 100 mg |
Every formula is creatine monohydrate, the form behind almost all of the trial evidence. The store page for the recovery formula is titled "creatine recovery+"; the search snippets in circulation still call it "creatine with magnesium+", the same product. The electrolyte stick is the odd one out at 3 g, below the 3–5 g daily range most trials used, which is set out on how much creatine.
No panel names who makes the creatine or where. Each says "manufactured for: mindbodygreen, Miami, FL".
The published lot results
Each product page carries a "Third-party test results" panel for named production lots — more than most brands profiled on this site publish. What it shows for three lots:
| Lot (product, manufactured) | Creatine monohydrate, label | Measured (method, date) | Second active | Metals |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A091184 (taurine+ bag, unflavoured, 01/2026) | 5 g | 5.38 g (HPLC-UV, 2026-02-04) | taurine 2.08 g v 2 g | As, Cd, Pb, Hg: "Pass" |
| A121004 (taurine+ bag, 03/2026) | 5 g | 5.36 g (HPLC-UV, 2026-03-25) | taurine 2.11 g v 2 g | As, Cd, Pb, Hg: "Pass" |
| A090794 (tone+ raspberry, 12/2025) | 5 g | 5.41 g (HPLC-UV, 2026-01-02) | — | "Pass" |
Two readings, both checkable on the page:
- Creatine came in 7 to 8% above the label claim in all three lots. A footnote says the figure is "calculated from Creatine on As-Is Basis" — the laboratory measured creatine and converted it to monohydrate. Over-filling against a label claim is common practice so that a product still meets its claim at the end of shelf life; mindbodygreen does not state its own reason.
- The metal results carry no numbers. For arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury the "Reported result" field is blank and only "Pass" is shown, so a reader cannot see how far below any limit a lot sat, or which limit was applied. The microbiology rows do give figures (for lot A121004, a total plate count of 140 cfu/g and yeast and moulds of 150 cfu/g).
The page says the tests were run by "an independent third-party laboratory" and describes "three rounds of testing … in ISO-certified labs". No laboratory is named. The two unflavoured serving weights also differ between sources: the lot result gives 7.35 g for the unflavoured bag, the raspberry panel 9.2 g.
What NSF lists
On 3 November 2026:
- NSF's Certified for Sport register held one mindbodygreen creatine row: creatine+ with electrolytes lemon lime. The 5 g formulas were not listed.
- NSF's dietary-supplement contents listing (NSF/ANSI 173) returned "No Matching Products Found" for the trade name mindbodygreen.
How the two NSF programmes differ, and why the lot number on a tub is what a listing covers, is on NSF-certified creatine.
The added ingredients, against the literature
- Taurine. No trial found by this site has tested taurine and creatine together at 2 g and 5 g a day; the creatine side of the claim is on creatine benefits.
- Magnesium. 100 mg is about a quarter of the daily value, as the panel's own 24% says. A small 2003 study of a magnesium–creatine chelate is read on does creatine make you gain weight; no trial has tested this product's pairing.
- Citicoline (brain+). The 500 mg of Cognizin is a branded citicoline. What creatine's own cognition trials show — and the EFSA panel's 2024 refusal of a cognition claim — is on creatine and the brain. No trial has tested the two together.
- Veld grape, CQR-300 (tone+). The product page cites a series of veld-grape studies. The earliest weight-loss trial of the plant randomised 72 overweight or obese adults in Cameroon for 10 weeks and reported lower body weight, body fat, waist size and blood lipids than placebo (Oben et al., Lipids Health Dis 2008, PMID 18377661); its subjects made no change to diet or exercise, and it did not test creatine. The panel credits the trademark to Gateway Health Alliances. Whether the combination does more for body composition than creatine with training is not established; what creatine alone does to weight is on does creatine make you gain weight.
The cost of a gram
| Mindbodygreen product | One-time price, 2026-11-03 | Creatine per pack | Dollars per gram of creatine |
|---|---|---|---|
| Creatine with taurine+, 60-serving bag | $49.99 ($44 subscribed) | 300 g | $0.167 ($0.147) |
| Creatine with taurine+, 30 sticks | $49.99 | 150 g | $0.333 |
| Creatine recovery+, 30 sticks | $49.99 | 150 g | $0.333 |
| Creatine brain+, 30 sticks | $59.99 | 150 g | $0.400 |
| Creatine tone+, 30 sticks | $59.99 | 150 g | $0.400 |
| Creatine with electrolytes+, 30 sticks | $49.99 | 90 g | $0.555 |
Our arithmetic: servings × creatine per serving, then price ÷ grams; list prices before shipping or tax. Every row also pays for a second ingredient, so this is the price of the creatine inside each product, not of creatine alone. How these figures compare with plain powders and gummies is on how much creatine costs.
What is missing from mindbodygreen's disclosure
- The laboratory behind the published results.
- Metal figures, not only "Pass", and the limits applied.
- The source or maker of the creatine, on any panel.
- One serving weight for the unflavoured bag (7.35 g in the lot result, 9.2 g on the raspberry panel).
- A reason the 5 g products are not on the NSF sport register while the electrolyte stick is — a choice the brand is free to make, but one a drug-tested buyer needs to know.
Limits of this profile
Everything here was read on one day, 3 November 2026, from the brand's own shop and two NSF listings; labels, prices, lot results and copy change. The panel images are the brand's uploads, and a product bought elsewhere may carry an older version. Published lot results describe the lots named, not every tub. No product was bought, opened or analysed by this site.
