Who should buy which

Pick the Arq8 FullDissolve Nano-Creatine Monohydrate if

Anyone who has bounced off gritty creatine and wants a fully-dissolving monohydrate, or the convenience of creatine gummies for travel.

You are drug-tested and need NSF Certified for Sport (choose Thorne), or you just want the cheapest bulk monohydrate and do not care about texture.

Pick the Thorne Creatine if

Drug-tested athletes, and anyone who wants the most-researched performance supplement in an independently certified, single-ingredient form.

Skip if

You are not drug-tested and already buy creatine monohydrate from a reputable brand, where the commodity version is biochemically equivalent for less.
