NSF Contents Certified

Momentous Creatine

450 g · 90 servings

NSF sport listing · match package + lot

Both list 5 g creatine monohydrate per serving. NSF’s sport listing adds banned-substance screening, but the current Signature Spec jar should match the listed product and lot.

Compare creatine cost per gram

Enter the total price for each tub in the same currency. Include shipping, taxes and discounts. Use one-time prices for both, or subscription prices for both.

We don’t pull live prices. The numbers you enter stay on this page and clear when you reload.

The calculator needs JavaScript. You can still compare manually: divide Naked’s total by 500 and Momentous’s by 450.

Naked Nutrition

Naked Creatine

Unflavored · 500 g · 100 servings

5gcreatine monohydrate per serving

Why it’s hereA bigger tub of plain creatine: 100 servings, compared with Momentous’s 90. It’s also NSF Contents Certified.

Worth knowing NSF Contents Certified and Certified for Sport are different programs. The label’s 5 g serving does not tell you how much you personally need.

Label details

Momentous Creatine

Unflavored · 450 g · 90 servings

5gcreatine monohydrate per scoop

Why it’s hereNSF lists Momentous unflavored 450 g powder and specific lots in its Certified for Sport program, which includes banned-substance testing.

Worth knowing The current jar says Signature Spec, while NSF’s linked label still says Creapure. Match the package and lot number to the current listing before relying on certification.

Label details

5 g creatine monohydrate per scoop. No other ingredients listed.

Ingredients: Creatine monohydrate

NSF Certified for Sport: NSF lists US unflavored 450 g powder with a 5 g scoop and specific lots. The current Signature Spec jar differs from NSF’s linked Creapure label, so match the package and lot before relying on the listing. Certification does not promise better results. Check the NSF listing (opens in a new tab) Checked October 2, 2026.

Source: Official Momentous Creatine page (opens in a new tab)

Label checked September 2, 2026. Amazon match checked September 3, 2026.

Both powders list 5 g creatine monohydrate per serving. Naked has the bigger tub. NSF’s sport listing names Momentous unflavored 450 g powder and specific lots; match the current Signature Spec package and lot before relying on it.

Compare the amount per tub

Naked has 500 g of creatine; Momentous has 450 g. Momentous needs to cost 10% less per tub to match Naked’s cost per gram. Naked costs 10% less per gram when both tubs have the same total price.

This math uses the amount on each label. Check the current prices and include shipping for both tubs. A lower cost per gram does not tell you how well a product will work.

Products we looked at (3 products)

Naked’s 500 g tub has NSF contents certification. Momentous and Thorne both have unflavored 450 g powders listed in NSF’s sport program. We haven’t found a reason to put one of those two ahead of the other.

  • Naked Nutrition — Naked Creatine

    On the shortlist · Unflavored · 500 g · 100 servings

    A bigger tub of plain creatine: 100 servings, compared with Momentous’s 90. It’s also NSF Contents Certified.

    NSF Contents Certified and Certified for Sport are different programs. The label’s 5 g serving does not tell you how much you personally need.

  • Thorne — Creatine

    Not listed · Unflavored powder · 450 g · 5 g scoop

    The same tub size as Momentous, with sport certification too. Those similarities are why we haven’t added a third creatine to the shortlist. We found no reason to call Momentous better.

    Thorne identifies this as creatine monohydrate. NSF lists the unflavored 450 g powder with a 5 g scoop in Certified for Sport.

    Check your package and lot number against NSF’s record. We haven’t tried the powders or compared current prices to choose between them.

    Worth a look if you want isolate or a smaller tub. We included Naked for its one-ingredient concentrate. NOW offers another way to buy unflavored whey; we aren’t calling Naked the better protein.

    24 g protein per 28 g scoop. Ingredients: whey protein isolate and less than 1% sunflower lecithin. Contains milk. No flavor or sweetener is listed. This 1.2 lb tub is smaller than Naked Whey’s 5 lb tub.

    Not listed · Unflavored · 446 g · about 20 servings · KA57534P-446

    An unflavored isolate in a smaller pouch, with sport certification. We included Naked for its one-ingredient concentrate. Klean offers a different form and pack size; those differences do not show which protein works better.

    20 g protein and 85 calories per scoop of approximately 22.3 g. The 446 g pouch provides approximately 20 servings. Ingredients: whey protein isolate (from milk) and sunflower lecithin. Contains milk. No flavor or sweetener is listed. NSF Certified for Sport lists the United States, Unflavored, 446 g Klean Isolate with a 22.3 g scoop.

    Contains milk. Match the US unflavored 446 g pouch and its lot number to NSF’s record. The listing does not establish certification for every flavor, package or lot, or prove better health or exercise results. We haven’t tried it or compared current prices.

Why it’s hereA vanilla-flavored alternative to Naked’s plain casein. We are keeping the earlier label information visible while checking conflicting package details on the brand’s page.

Worth knowing Contains milk and soy on the displayed older label. The selected pack and nutrition image disagree; confirm the current container label before buying.

Package conflict checked September 30, 2026: the linked Creamy Vanilla option says 25 servings (1.81 lb), but its nutrition image still shows 27 servings (2 lb). We are not calculating a current-pack protein-density comparison until the label is confirmed.

  • Kaged — Casein

    Needs another check · Vanilla · 2 lb · 28 servings shown on the product image

    Another vanilla casein in a 2 lb tub. We haven’t added a link to buy it because we still need to confirm the full Vanilla ingredients and serving weight from a readable current label.

    The manufacturer describes 25 g micellar casein protein per serving. Informed Sport’s directory includes Kaged Casein and lists tested Vanilla batches.

    We couldn’t read the label image clearly. Informed Sport lists specific Vanilla batches, so check the number on your package. That record doesn’t fill in the missing ingredient details.

Why it’s hereA stick you can toss in your bag, with no sugar. It has 1,000 mg sodium, compared with 300 mg in a Nuun Sport tablet.

Worth knowing Sweetened with stevia. This is not a low-sodium mix; check any sodium limit your clinician has given you.

Label details

Per stick: 1,000 mg sodium, 200 mg potassium, 60 mg magnesium and 0 g sugar.

Ingredients: Sodium chloride, citric acid, magnesium malate, potassium chloride, lemon and lime flavoring, stevia leaf extract.

Products we looked at (3 products)

LMNT has 1,000 mg sodium and no sugar per stick. Nuun Sport has 300 mg and 1 g sugar per tablet. Liquid I.V.’s original version also contains sugar; we still need to confirm the amounts on its current label.

  • Nuun — Sport

    Not listed · Lemon Lime · 10-tablet tube · 1 tablet (5 g) per serving

    Less sodium than LMNT, in a tablet you dissolve. LMNT is on the shortlist for its zero-sugar, 1,000 mg-sodium stick. Nuun is worth a look if you want less sodium and don’t mind the 1 g sugar.

    300 mg sodium, 150 mg potassium, 25 mg magnesium and 1 g sugar per tablet. A dissolving tablet in a tube, with dextrose and stevia among the ingredients.

    Lower than LMNT does not mean low-sodium. These figures compare one tablet with one stick; the water you mix them into can differ. Neither number tells you how much sodium you need.

  • Liquid I.V. — Hydration Multiplier

    Needs another check · Lemon Lime · original version with sugar · 16 sticks

    This version contains sugar. We couldn’t read the current nutrition label clearly enough to confirm the amounts of sodium and sugar or the serving weight. We haven’t added a link to buy it yet.

    The brand’s page shows a 16-stick Lemon Lime pouch and lists cane sugar and dextrose as ingredients. This is the original Hydration Multiplier. The Sugar-Free version is sold separately.

    We won’t fill the gaps with numbers from older labels. Sugar alone isn’t a reason to call this product unhealthy.
