    DR.VEGAN Creatine & BCAA

    Our verdict

    Creatine is the ingredient doing the work here; the BCAAs add little if your overall protein intake is adequate. Plain creatine monohydrate is cheaper if you only want the evidence-backed part.

    Pros

    • +Vegan creatine
    • +Convenient single scoop

    Cons

    • -BCAAs add cost without much benefit

    Evidence

    Creatine monohydrate is one of the most studied supplements in existence for strength and lean mass when combined with resistance training. Evidence for mood and cognition in women is early. Total daily protein intake is what matters for muscle in midlife. A powder is a convenience, not a special ingredient.
