Supplements in the U.S. are largely an unregulated industry. The FDA doesn’t test for safety, efficacy, or regulate this market at all. You do not even know whether the supplements contain what they say they contain in the amounts that they claim. In fact, you hear about class action lawsuits against supplement manufacturers all the time because of this. It also doesn’t help that there are actual counterfeits being sold, especially on Amazon, too – I was a victim of this, by the way. So, my rating scheme of supplements are largely based on the following:1) A star for supplements that are verified made in a certified GMP facility in the U.S.2) A star for supplements from well established brands with well known presence on the Internet, i.e. a well built website with large Google search results from established companies.3) A star for being independently lab tested with verified lab results as posted by the manufacturer.4) Full 5 stars for supplements being tested and or certified by USP, or NSF, or ConsumerLabs for having good purity, and potency to the stated manufacturer labels. Or, if the supplement is also sold via CVS, which require all supplement manufacturers to be verified third party lab tested via USP, NSF, UL, or other verification and standards bodies.Negative stars for products in some extreme condition may be doled out: damaged products (broken seal, or broken capsules), expired products, products that are rancid (fish oil, etc…), and products that have been shown to not meet quality controls and standards as mentioned in 3). Also, if there are previous FDA warnings issued against the company and products, or pending civil lawsuits for poor products will result in 1 star ratings.My opinion on how it tastes, if I feel like it works, or what the scientific literature says about the supplement ingredients are irrelevant to the star ratings. It’s really up to your own discretion and research to figure out whether this supplement is worth using based on said research or my own opinions on it. With that said, here’s the rating and review for this supplement.Other than negative stars, I cannot delve into why this is a 4 star rating, as Amazon Vine keeps flagging my supplement reviews for inane reasons. And, I'm just going to give up on providing any meaningful review on supplements because of this. I will say that I love that this is unflavored. I absolutely detest all the flavored sports powders on the market. Especially since a lot of them contain Stevia Leaf extract. Also, ProHealth did release a third party COA on the product, even though it is a month ago, and their other supplements have had good lab results as well. So, I feel like I can trust this product. As always, though, do your own Due Diligence when shopping for any product, but especially health and sports supplements.

I regularly do resistance training, and I started incorporating creatine into my recovery regime a couple of months ago. I have been using a competing brand, and while happy with it, I am not a loyalist. This creatine monohydrate by ProHealth appealed to me as it looked to be a quality product. The supplement industry has virtually no regulation, so I have always done a fair amount of due diligence before trying something new. I liked that this company had been in business for (34) years and clearly posted their 3rd party lab testing results.Unfortunately, this isn't the product for me, solely because of the taste. I like to mix creatine with water, not other beverages or smoothies. On the occasions I tried this powder, the resulting drink had a distinct, bitter taste. The best way for me to describe it is this: imagine an aspirin tablet (not a gel cap or capsule) or something similar starting to dissolve on your tongue prior to swallowing it.Taste is obviously subjective, so my experience may be completely different from someone else's. Thus, I do not think it is fair to rate this product less than 3-stars.

I don't know what the difference between this and other creatine is, but it works fine, it dissolves fine. It's not really more expensive than other creatine sources so it's a valid option. It's GMP so easier to trust than some random brand.

I used this several times and it did fully dissolve in water. However, there was ZERO increase in energy, endurance, or strength, and NO mood lift that I usually get with real creatine. I actually had less energy the last time I used it, and felt unwell. Not sure what is in it, but it can't be 100% creatine monohydrate. The taste is slightly bitter, like crushed aspirin.
