Momentous Creatine: It Dropped Creapure, Kept NSF, and Now Tests to a Specification It Does Not Publish

Momentous sells creatine monohydrate as powder, flavoured packets and 1 g chews. What its labels and store state, what NSF's register lists lot by lot, what a gram costs in each format, and the claims with no published number behind them.

Momentous is the fourth brand in this series by US search demand, about 21,000 searches a month for its creatine. It is also the only one to have moved away from Creapure and said so on its own product page. That switch, and what replaced it, is the thread through everything below.

This analysis reads what Momentous publishes (its labels, its store and its claims) against NSF's register and the literature. It does not test the product, and it places no brand above or below another.

Five formats, one creatine

The store listed these creatine products on 2026-09-30:

Format Size Creatine per serving Listed price
Unflavoured powder 90 servings (450 g jar) 5 g scoop $42.99 (out of stock)
Powder, unflavoured / lemon / watermelon 30 servings one scoop $19.99
Powder, lemon / watermelon 60 servings one scoop $34.99
Travel packs, unflavoured / lemon / watermelon 15 packets one packet $22.99
Chews, lemon lime / mango / strawberry 5, 50 or 150 tablets 1 g per tablet $2.99 / $19.99 / $49.99

There is also a collagen-plus-creatine bundle. The flavoured packets weigh 6.49 g on NSF's listing against the unflavoured 5 g scoop, and the extra 1.5 g or so is flavouring and sweetener.

The Creapure switch

The store's own FAQ asks the question and answers it:

"Is Momentous Creatine made with Creapure®? Momentous no longer sources creatine from Creapure®. Our new Signature Spec Creatine is made in a pharmaceutical facility to our elite specification…"

What the page says about the replacement: water-washed with reverse-osmosis water, made in an ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified pharmaceutical facility, micronized to at least 200 mesh, "sourced from" global creatine production. What it does not say: the manufacturer, the facility or the country of origin. Creapure was a named, single-origin German monohydrate, so a buyer could look up who made it. "Signature Spec" is a brand name for a specification that has not been published. What Creapure is and how its sourcing claims work is on Creapure, explained. ISO 9001 and 14001 are quality-management and environmental-management standards for a facility; neither tests the powder in the tub.

What NSF's register shows

NSF's Certified for Sport register (read 2026-09-30) lists seven Momentous creatine products:

NSF listing Form Package sizes Lots covered
Creatine Monohydrate (unflavoured) Powder, 5 g scoop 5 g, 75 g, 150 g, 450 g All
Creatine Monohydrate (unflavoured) Powder, 5 g scoop 450 g 24 named lots
Creatine Lemon Flavor Powder, 6.49 g packet 6.49 g to 390 g All
Creatine Watermelon Flavor Powder, 6.49 g packet 6.6 g to 396 g All
Creatine Chews Lemon Lime Tablet, 10 kcal, 1 g sugar 5, 50, 150 ct All
Creatine Chews Mango Tablet, 10 kcal, 1 g sugar 5, 50, 150 ct All
Creatine Chews Strawberry Tablet, 10 kcal, 1 g sugar 5, 50, 150 ct 10 named lots

Two listings for the same unflavoured 450 g powder, one covering all lots and one listing 24 lot numbers, is consistent with a product that changed. The register does not say why. As on the other brand pages in this series, NSF certification is recorded lot by lot where the register names lots, so a buyer can match the number on a tub against the register. What the mark checks is set out in NSF's own description of it, and the other brands' register records are gathered on creatine brands.

The one Momentous creatine label in the NIH database (entered 2025-03-25) also carries an Informed Sport mark. The 2026 product page does not mention Informed Sport. Informed Sport's own search page refused automated access from this machine on 2026-09-30, so its current listing is not verified here, and this page makes no claim about it either way.

What a gram costs, by format

Listed prices on livemomentous.com, 2026-09-30, before subscription discounts (the store showed 25% off on subscription):

Format Grams of creatine Price Per gram of creatine
Unflavoured powder, 90 servings 450 g $42.99 $0.096
Chews, 150 count 150 g $49.99 $0.333
Chews, 50 count 50 g $19.99 $0.400
Chews, 5 count 5 g $2.99 $0.598

Taking 5 g of creatine as chews costs about 3.5 times as much as the same 5 g as unflavoured powder, and it brings 50 calories and 5 g of sugar with it (NSF: 10 kcal and 1 g sugar per tablet). The format trade-offs are on creatine gummies and creatine pills vs powder. The per-gram figure for the flavoured powders is left out because the pages read did not state the creatine content of their scoops in grams.

The store's claims, set against the evidence

Claim on the store page What the evidence says
Creatine left in liquid "longer than 30 minutes" will "lose its efficacy" The solution data in the 2011 review measured 4%, 12% and 21% loss after three days at 25°C (pH 5.5, 4.5, 3.5) and relative stability near neutral pH. No loss within 30 minutes was measured in anything found for this page. See does creatine expire.
"10x fewer impurities and 2–5x stricter heavy metal limits than industry standard" No limits, no impurity figures and no named standard are published, so the multiples cannot be checked.
"Six-stage testing protocol", including NSF and "TESTED by SuppCo", plus microplastics and PFAS screening NSF is checkable on NSF's register (above). No certificate or numerical result for the other stages was published on the page.
2025 label: take "30-90 minutes before or after training" The 2026 page says consistency matters more than timing. The timing trials are on creatine timing.
Creatine "does not cause excessive weight gain or bloating for most people" The water and weight data are on creatine bloating and creatine and weight gain.

What the label and the page leave out

  • Who makes the creatine, and where. Nothing on the page names the manufacturer or the country since Creapure was dropped.
  • The specification itself. "Signature Spec" and "elite specification" are names; the purity, creatinine, dicyandiamide and heavy-metal limits behind them are not published.
  • Test results. No certificate of analysis or laboratory report is linked, for NSF's testing or for the additional screens.
  • The flavoured serving in grams of creatine. The listings give packet weights, not creatine content.

The checkable summary

  • Creatine form: creatine monohydrate, micronized; no longer Creapure, per the brand.
  • Serving: 5 g scoop (unflavoured), 1 g per chew.
  • Certification: NSF Certified for Sport, 7 listings, two with named lots (24 and 10).
  • Cost: $0.096 per gram as unflavoured powder; $0.33–$0.60 per gram as chews (list prices, 2026-09-30).
  • Unpublished: manufacturer, origin, the specification's numbers, test results.
  • One store claim contradicts the stability data: the 30-minute loss.

Limits of this analysis

Prices are the store's listed prices on one date and change with promotions and subscriptions; the 90-serving jar was out of stock when read. NSF's register reflects listings on the day it was read and can change without notice. The label database holds one Momentous creatine label, from 2025, and may lag the product in shops. This page did not buy, open or test any Momentous product, and it relies entirely on what the brand, NSF and the NIH database publish.

Frequently asked questions

Is Momentous creatine Creapure?

Not any more. The store's own FAQ states that Momentous no longer sources creatine from Creapure and now uses its 'Signature Spec' creatine, made in a pharmaceutical facility. It does not name the facility, the manufacturer or the country of origin. Creapure is a German-made monohydrate, covered on this site's Creapure page.

Is Momentous creatine NSF certified?

Yes, on NSF's own Certified for Sport register as read on 2026-09-30: seven creatine listings, covering the unflavoured powder, lemon and watermelon powders and three chew flavours. Two listings name specific lots, 24 for one unflavoured 450 g listing and 10 for the strawberry chews; the rest cover all lots. The register shows certification of the listed product, not a test result for a particular tub.

Is Momentous creatine third-party tested?

Its store describes a six-stage testing protocol including NSF Certified for Sport and a programme called TESTED by SuppCo, plus screening for microplastics and PFAS. NSF's part is publicly checkable on NSF's register. No certificate of analysis, laboratory report or numerical result for the other stages was published on the product page read on 2026-09-30.

How much creatine is in Momentous creatine?

The unflavoured powder's serving is one 5 g scoop of creatine monohydrate, 90 servings in a 450 g jar, per its label and NSF's listing. Each chew contains 1 g of creatine monohydrate according to the store, so matching one scoop takes five chews. The flavoured single-serve packets weigh 6.49 g each on NSF's listing, the extra weight being flavouring and sweetener.

Does Momentous creatine lose potency if it sits in water?

The store says so, putting the limit at 30 minutes. The published stability data do not measure anything that fast: the review this site relies on reports creatine in solution at 25°C losing 4% at pH 5.5, 12% at pH 4.5 and 21% at pH 3.5 after three days, and being relatively stable near neutral pH. No study found for this page measured a loss within 30 minutes.

Does this page compare Momentous with other creatine brands?

No. It sets out what Momentous publishes and what NSF's register shows, and marks what is missing. The same checkable points are recorded for other brands in this series without putting them in any order.
