Product details
Where this label sits
Optimum Nutrition Creatine 2500 Capsules is one of the creatine products in the Scoop Sense database. Every active ingredient on the panel is listed with its own dose — nothing is hidden inside a blend total. It runs 100 servings per container at the full labeled serving. Everything on this page comes from the manufacturer's supplement facts panel as of July 2026 — never from the marketing page.
Key ingredients & studied doses
- Creatine Monohydrate (Creapure) · 2.5 g. Creapure-brand creatine monohydrate studied for supporting ATP energy recycling and strength output during short, high-intensity training; capsules trade dose-per-serving for no-mixing convenience.
Flavors & sweetener
Unflavored capsule format — nothing to mix or taste.
Who it's best for
Anyone who wants the form with the deepest research base — most creatine studies use 3–5 g of monohydrate daily. A sensible first tub — nothing on the panel that catches a new user out. Derived from the label figures above — not medical advice.
How we log this label
Every entry is built the same way: we read the current supplement facts panel, log each disclosed dose, compare it against the amounts used in published research, flag proprietary blends, and state the cautions plainly. The full methodology explains each step.
This label against the research
How we evaluate labelsEach bar shows the amount commonly used in published human research, and where this label's dose falls against it. Research amounts are context, not a recommendation — they are not doses, and nothing here is medical advice.

Common questions about Optimum Nutrition Creatine 2500 Capsules
Do I need a loading phase with Optimum Nutrition Creatine 2500 Capsules?
Loading is optional, but note the serving size first. The saturation research uses 3–5 g of creatine monohydrate daily and this label serves 2.5 g, so reaching the studied intake means taking more than one serving.
Does Optimum Nutrition Creatine 2500 Capsules disclose every dose?
Yes — the label lists an individual amount for each ingredient, with no proprietary blends. That is what the "label fully disclosed" tag on Scoop Sense means, and it is what lets each dose be compared against the amounts used in published research.
