Creatine monohydrate: particle size, micronised and mesh on the specification

Micronised creatine and standard creatine monohydrate differ in particle size, and that changes flow, mixability and mouthfeel. What to check on the specification before you choose a grade.

Same molecule, different powder

Creatine monohydrate is the form most often used in supplements, and the chemical is the same across suppliers. The difference is the physical powder. A specification sheet gives particle size, usually as a mesh number or as a range in micrometres, and that single figure changes how the powder flows, how it mixes and how it feels in a drink.

Our range includes creatine monohydrate. Each lot ships with a certificate of analysis that states the assay and the particle size result.

What micronised means

Micronised creatine has been milled to a finer particle size than standard grades. Finer powder dissolves more evenly in water and leaves less grit. The finer the powder, the more it clumps and dusts, so the supplier and the filling line need to agree on a grade that flows well for your equipment.

Ask for:

  • The particle size specification: a mesh number, or a stated percentage passing a given sieve.
  • The bulk density: this tells you how much volume a given weight takes, which matters for capsule fill and for scoop dosing.
  • The assay: the creatine monohydrate content, usually stated as a minimum percentage on the dry basis.

Why particle size matters for the formula

In capsules, a finer powder packs more densely and can change the fill weight per capsule. In a powder blend, a very fine grade can separate from coarser ingredients during transport if it is not mixed properly. In a drink, a finer grade dissolves faster and gives a smoother result. None of these effects is a problem by itself. The point is to fix the grade in the specification, so every batch behaves the same on your line.

Checklist before you compare offers

1. Confirm the form: creatine monohydrate, with the CAS number on the certificate of analysis. 2. Confirm the particle size as a specification range, not just the word "micronised". 3. Confirm the assay, the moisture result and the method used. 4. Ask for the bulk density so you can calculate fill weight and scoop volume. 5. Order a sample of each grade you are considering and fill a test batch before you commit.

What the label needs

If the label states a dose in grams of creatine monohydrate, the dose is set by the assay on the batch, not by the particle size. Particle size changes the volume and the feel, not the amount of creatine. Keep both in mind when you move between grades: the same gram weight can take up a different volume in a different grade.
