Our verdict on each
CON-CR?T Creatine
CON-CR?T Creatine suits US lifters who want a third-party tested creatine HCl powder at a low entry price and a low cost per serving, and who buy in the US. The unflavored powder starts at $24.99 with $0.39 per serving, so the money goes on the powder rather than a plan.
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
CON-CR?T Creatine
Pros
- Third-party tested, and the powder also carries nsf and gmp certification for manufacturing quality.
- The unflavored powder starts at $24.99, a low entry point for anyone trying creatine for the first time.
- $0.39 per serving keeps the running cost low for daily use, and it ranks 31 of 121 brands on that measure.
Cons
- Shipping covers US only, so anyone outside the US has no listed route to the powder.
- The catalogue is limited to electrolytes and nootropics, so there is no sleep or stress range to pair a night-time product with.
- Flavour choice is 5 flavours options, which is a small line for anyone who likes to change powder regularly.
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
CON-CR?T Creatine
Who it suits
- US residents who want a plain creatine powder and check cost per serving before anything else.
- Vegan, gluten-free or kosher shoppers, since the unflavored powder lists vegan, gluten free and kosher diets.
- People who want testing behind the tub, because the powder is third-party tested and carries nsf and gmp certification.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone outside the US, since the shipping policy lists US only.
- Shoppers who want a multivitamin or sleep and stress range in the same order, since the catalogue is electrolytes and nootropics.
- Buyers who want a day-to-day subscription set up for them, because none is listed.
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
CON-CR?T Creatine
How much does CON-CR?T Creatine cost?+
The unflavored creatine HCl powder starts at $24.99, and the cost works out at $0.39 per serving. That per serving figure is the one to watch if you plan to use it daily, because it is where this brand ranks 31 of 121 brands on our data. The entry price is a single starting figure, not a tiered plan.
Is the creatine powder third-party tested?+
Yes, the unflavored powder is third-party tested, so the contents are checked by a lab outside the company. On top of that, the brand holds nsf and gmp certification for its manufacturing standards. Testing and certification cover different things here: one is about the contents of the tub, the other about how it is made.
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.
