My wife, having read various pieces on potential benefits for older women (she’s 68) from creatine supplementation, is keen to try it out. However, I’m finding it bewildering to identify a brand that has both third-party testing by a reputable organization (e.g., NSF Safe for Sports) and is available from a amazon.ca or other site that won’t involve cross-border shipping into Canada. Also looking for protein powder supplier.
Very new to this and appreciative of any help and suggestions?
Thanks!
Canadian protein is a fantastic source, they have a massive selection of protein types, as well as other supplements. Good prices too. I usually order online, but I recently saw them at Costco too.
Unfortunately Costco doesn’t carry creatine.
Interested if you’ve found more info. I’m 60 … and in BC. Thanks!
I’m also in BC. I recommend using creatine monohydrate, it is one of the simplest, most common, and most researched forms of creatine. It is also extremely cheap and very common; I have seen it at Shoppers, Superstore, and London drugs.
Normal supplement stores (eg: Popeye’s) will have more complex formulations that include creatine, but imo that’s all unnecessary and just a way to charge more.
Another vote for Canadian Protein, for both creatine and protein.
Thanks! I’ll check this out.
I liked the fact that you check into products to see if they meet standards. Many people just buy based on advertising.
I’m in Smithers … way up north

Just FYI, NSF Certified for Sport not only maintains a database of trustworthy supplements, but even has a handy phone app that lets you scan the QR code for a product to quickly determine whether it is certified. It isn’t perfect, due to an ever-changing market, but it’s a handy resource for evaluating supplements.
3rd vote for CanadianProtein here, I must have ordered from them at least 10x with no issues.
I like Levels why protein unflavored and bulksuppliment’s creatine. I get both from Amazon. Are those available in Canada?
We got a bag of Canadian Protein’s Creatine product. So far so good, but it doesn’t seem to be recognized by the NSF phone app, or listed on their site.
