Creatine FormMonohydrate + HMB blend
MicronizedNot specified
Creapure SourceNot disclosed

Transparent Labs Creatine HMB is a flavored creatine monohydrate powder enhanced with HMB (β-hydroxy β-methylbutyrate), a metabolite of leucine that may amplify strength and muscle-building effects beyond standard monohydrate alone. Each tub contains 30 servings of 5g creatine monohydrate plus HMB in a strawberry lemonade flavor.

Key attributes:

  • Form: Creatine monohydrate + HMB blend (not pure monohydrate)
  • Source: Sourced from premium suppliers; brand claims superior absorption and minimal water retention vs. standard creatine
  • Third-party testing: Informed Choice certified; manufactured in FDA-registered GMP facilities
  • No artificial sweeteners, dyes, or fillers — appeals to transparent-label shoppers
  • Mixability: Flavored formula designed for smooth mixing; no taste grit complaints in user reports

TL Creatine HMB sits in the mid-to-premium segment. The HMB addition and Informed Choice certification justify a modest price bump, though it's not Creapure-sourced. Best for athletes seeking a synergistic creatine + HMB blend with a palatable flavor and clean label.
