GNC is rethinking the creatine aisle with a new performance-focused lineup that scales from beginner staples to fully stacked muscle-support systems. The range starts with the straightforward Pro Performance Creatine Monohydrate, delivering the research-backed 5-gram dose athletes have trusted for decades, before moving into more advanced territory with the new Creatine + HMB formula for added recovery support, Beyond Raw's dual-action Creatine MonoPhate, and the flagship AMP Creabolic, a triple-action blend combining creatine, myHMB, and PeptiStrong in one scoop.
