Our verdict on each
Arrival Creatine
Arrival Creatine suits anyone who wants a plain, third-party tested creatine tub with vegan and organic credentials and a subscription saving, and it costs $1.50 a serving. It is a narrow choice: one flavour, no protein, and support by email only.
Nuun
Nuun suits readers who want electrolyte tablets bought as they need them, with an entry price of $7.49 on Nuun Sport and $0.75 a serving. Vitamins-and-multivitamins rivals that bundle a monthly plan charge on delivery rather than letting you stop, so Nuun fits anyone who buys by the box.

Pros and cons
Arrival Creatine
Pros
- Third-party tested, which most creatine brands in this ranking do not state
- Vegan and organic credentials, unusual for a creatine monohydrate tub
- Serving cost of $1.50 sits high in the creatine and pre-workout ranking
Cons
- Support runs on email only, with no chat or phone listed
- Product types cover creatine, so protein, pre-workout and electrolytes have to come from elsewhere
- Protein per serving is 0 g, so the tub is a standalone supplement rather than a protein source
Nuun
Pros
- Entry price of $7.49 on Nuun Sport puts the brand at position 11 of the 157 brands tracked on price from.
- A serving of Nuun Sport costs $0.75, which lands at position 42 of the 121 brands compared on cost per serving.
- Every product is third-party tested, against 84.5% of brands in the vitamins-and-multivitamins category that report the same.
Cons
- Where it runs is narrow: the range is built for US and CA, so readers in the UK are better served by DocMorris, which covers multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3.
- Protein per serving sits at 0 g, well under the 24 median across the brands compared, so anyone buying this alongside a pre-workout still needs a separate protein source.
- The range is built on electrolytes, multivitamins and vitamins minerals rather than on vitamins alone, and TestRX stays closer to vitamins minerals for readers shopping purely for a daily vitamin.
Who each suits
Arrival Creatine
Who it suits
- Lifters who want one ingredient and third-party testing rather than a blended formula
- Vegan and organic buyers who read certification labels before buying
- US shoppers who would rather subscribe and pay less per order than buy a tub outright
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who wants pre-workout, electrolytes or protein from the same brand, since Body Attack covers all of them and Nuun covers electrolytes
- Buyers who want a choice of flavours, as Arrival Creatine lists 1 flavour
- People who want phone or chat support, since Arrival Creatine offers email only
Nuun
Who it suits
- Readers after electrolyte tablets rather than capsules, since the range covers electrolytes, multivitamins and vitamins minerals.
- Anyone in the markets Nuun serves, listed as US and CA.
- Shoppers on restricted diets, given the range is labelled for vegan, gluten free and kosher.
Who should look elsewhere
- Readers in the UK, who should look at DocMorris and its own range of multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3.
- Anyone shopping only for a daily vitamin, since ProSolution Plus sells vitamins minerals and TestRX vitamins minerals alone.

Questions about each
Arrival Creatine
How much does Arrival Creatine cost to start?+
The tub is priced from $44.99, which is the first order rather than a subscription order. On a per-serving basis it works out at $1.50. If you subscribe, the discount of 15% to 26% applies to repeat deliveries and brings the per-order cost down.
Is Arrival Creatine third-party tested?+
Yes, the creatine is third-party tested, and the certifications listed are vegan and organic. That combination is the main quality argument for the brand, and it is stated on the product listing rather than inferred from the ingredients.
Nuun
What does Nuun cost?+
The entry point is $7.49 on the Nuun Sport range, and subscriptions take 15% off that price. There is no membership fee attached, and the amount you see at entry is the amount you pay for the box you order next.
What is the cost per serving?+
A serving of Nuun Sport works out at $0.75, which places the brand at position 42 of the 121 brands compared on that measure. If you take more than a tablet a day, the cost is worth multiplying out before you commit.
