Any idea what the source of this creatine is? I'm looking for a vegetarian source, and my understanding is most all creatine is synthetic these days.

Optimum Nutrition creatine monohydrate is made with Creapure, a synthetic creatine. From Creapure's website: " Since the 1990s the chemical synthesis of creatine has become more efficient and now predominates for industrial large-scale production. AlzChem developed a process for the synthetic production of creatine that guarantees the best quality and greatest purity. This creatine is sold under the brand name Creapure. Because Creapure (ultrapure creatine monohydrate) is made by synthesizing non-animal-sourced raw materials through chemical reactions, Creapure is guaranteed not to contain substances that can transmit BSE. It is suitable for vegetarians."

Hi Brian,No Creatine that I'm aware of. Hydro Whey is a very pure and easily absorbed protein. I hope this helps...

That's disturbing info about natural melatonin. But of the 3 brands I have onhand here (Now, Natrol, and Natural Factors), none state what the sources are, or whether they're natural or synthetic.

Interesting... I've used this stuff a couple times now and haven't had any problems with the company or the product itself. I've actually done well on it - I workout regularly and its been helpful to keep my focus on nutrition on point. Its a bummer to see you're skeptical, but from my experience, I trust this product.

Hey! I am wondering the same thing. Did you ever find out? I'd also like to make sure it's made with synthetic urea.

I have been taking creatine on and off for many years now, I usually go to my local CVS or walmart and buy the brands there, but I was curious if Amazon offered it for a better deal. This creatine is has the same taste as all the other creatine's ive tried, but much more cleaner tasting. And most importantly though, after about a week and a half now of dosing I got my muscle swell and seemingly never ending energy supply that only creatine gives me. If my vote matters at all, id say its real.

That is peculiar, but I use this product myself, and it is awesome. A very knowledgable nutritionist at my local health food store says this one is by far the best. You might want to call a health food store that carries it and inquire about the website. I know ultimate sports nutrition has started carrying this product.

I called Nature's Way, who is the company that provides this multivitamin, and I was told that the source of Vitamin E that is in Nature's Way Alive Multivitamin is derived from soy, so my next question was to ask her if the soy it was derived from was a GMO (Genetically Modified Organism), because most soy in the USA, unless it is organic and NON GMO Verified, is Genetically Modified. She told me that they try to the best of their ability, to make sure that none of their supplements contain GMO's, but that she cannot guarantee it. I hope this answers your question. By the way, in case you did not know, GMO's are EXTREMELY BAD! Avoid them at all costs!!!!

I happen to have a bottle on me..: Arginine, citruline, creatine ethyl-ester malate, tyrosine, taurine. This stuff works really well and is incredibly cheap for what I get out of it

Yes and that's the only ingredient keeping me from trying this product. I've seen studies where creatine use is linked to hair loss.

I can't say I've ever had ON creatine so I can't help you there. What I can tell you is it dissolves okay. If you put it in a blender with a protein shake, you don't taste it. I take mine with water and I literally just dump it in on top and drink it. It's definitely not fully dissolved there.

Good luck on that question. The last thing you want is bovine sourced gelatin. Due to customer demand vegetarian gelatin is becoming more available. Wake up companies! NOBODY wants potential "mad cow" in their supplements

This product does not have creatine. It is the highest quality protein available. . .very easy to digest.
