Description

5g of micronized creatine monohydrate per scoop. Single ingredient. 60 servings. Unflavored. Mixes clean into water, juice, or a protein shake.

Creatine monohydrate is the most-studied supplement in sports nutrition. Over a thousand peer-reviewed studies point to the same dose: 3 to 5 grams per day. Payload delivers that — and nothing else.

5g micronized creatine monohydrate (200-mesh for clean mixing)

99.87% purity, ISO/IEC 17025 lab verified

Made in the USA · NSF/ANSI 455-2 cGMP certified · Heavy metals tested (USP <232>/<233>) · Third-party lab tested

How to Use

One scoop (5g) in 8 oz of water, juice, or a protein shake. Take daily — training days and rest days.

Creatine works through saturation, not timing. Consistency over weeks is what builds the benefit, so the rest-day dose matters as much as the training-day dose. Pick a slot that fits your routine and hold it.

New users: start with ½ scoop for the first 3 days to assess tolerance

Do not exceed 1 scoop in 24 hours

Stack with: Satchel Charge on training days, or Resupply for a clean morning routine.

Suggestions

Payload works standalone. It works better stacked.

Mission Ready Stack — Payload + Satchel Charge. Daily creatine plus training-day pre-workout. $59.99

Daily Essentials Stack — Payload + Resupply + Satchel Charge. The everyday training kit. $54.99

The Complete Line — All four products. The full system. $129.99 (save $39.97)

New to creatine? Start with Payload alone for 2 weeks, then layer in the rest.

STEP 02 - TAKE IT DAILY

Every day — training and rest days. Creatine works through saturation, not timing.

STEP 03 - STAY THE COURSE

Saturation takes 3-4 weeks. Don't skip days. Don't expect day-one results.

Pair Payload with Satchel Charge on training days, or Resupply for hydration. One stack, full coverage.

BUILT FOR THE MISSION

Every formula is fully dosed. Every label is transparent. Every ingredient earns its place.

No proprietary blends. No fillers. No shortcuts.

Payload delivers 5g of micronized creatine in every scoop — because the people who carry the load deserve supplements built to the same standard.

"Mixes cleaner than any creatine I've used. No chalk at the bottom of the shaker, no grit. I take it with my morning coffee and forget about it. Six weeks in and my lifts are holding through heavier sessions."

Marcus B.

Verified Buyer

★★★★★

"Bought this after reading the label 3 times to make sure there wasn't a catch. There isn't. One ingredient, 5g, made in the USA. That's all I wanted. Strength is up, no bloat, and the bottle actually lasts 60 days like they say."

"I've taken creatine on and off for ten years. The proprietary blend stuff is a waste of money. This is just creatine — the way it should be. Switched to Payload three months ago and I'm not going back."

Anthony K.

Verified Buyer

★★★★★

"Solid product. Mixes well, no taste, no bloating. Lost a half-star because I wish it came in a bigger size — going through 60 servings in two months is a lot of reordering. Subscription helps."

Derek W.

Verified Buyer

★★★★★

"Picked this up because of the Vanguard Wall connection. Stayed because it actually works. Daily lifts feel more dialed and recovery between sessions is better than it was on my old stuff. Will keep ordering."

Tyler D.

★★★★★

"Took the half-scoop tolerance advice for the first three days — no stomach issues, no water weight beyond what you'd expect. Now on full scoop daily. Honest dosing, honest label, no nonsense."

"Firefighter, work 24-hour shifts. Take Payload every morning with breakfast regardless of whether I'm training that day. Saturation is real — month two is when I really started noticing the difference in the gym."

"My old creatine had four ingredients I couldn't pronounce. This has one. The math is simple. The price is fair. The product works. I don't know what else there is to say."

Ryan H.

Verified Buyer

★★★★★

"Good creatine. Mixes well in water and protein shakes. The unflavored thing is a small adjustment if you're used to flavored stuff, but I prefer it now — easier to stack with my other supplements. Knocked one star because I wanted a 90-serving option."

QUESTIONS?
WE'VE GOT ANSWERS.

Title

Real questions from operators, lifters, and first responders. Real answers — no fluff.

Do I need to load creatine?

No. Loading is optional. Taking 5g daily will saturate your muscles within 3-4 weeks without a loading phase. If you want results faster, you can load with 20g per day (split across 4 doses) for 5-7 days, then drop to 5g daily for maintenance. Either way works — consistency is what matters.

Will Payload make me bloated or hold water weight?

A small amount, yes. Creatine pulls water into muscle cells, which can show up as 1-3 pounds on the scale in the first 2-4 weeks. This is intramuscular water — it's how creatine works, not bloat. Most people notice fuller muscles, not a puffier waistline.

When's the best time to take it?

Any time. Pre-workout, post-workout, with breakfast — research suggests timing matters less than consistency. Pick the slot that fits your routine and hold it. Creatine works through daily saturation, not acute timing.

Can I stack Payload with Satchel Charge or Resupply?

Yes. Satchel Charge contains 1.5g of Dicreatine Malate on training days — Payload covers daily creatine, the two products stack rather than compete. Resupply has no creatine, so mix it with Payload in the same shake for a clean morning routine. The Daily Essentials Stack covers all three.

Is Payload safe? Are there any side effects?

Creatine monohydrate is one of the most extensively studied supplements in the world. Decades of research support its safety in healthy adults at standard doses. Some users notice mild stomach discomfort if they take it on an empty stomach — easy fix is to take it with food or with your protein shake. Consult your physician if you have a medical condition or take prescription medication.

How long until I notice results?

3 to 4 weeks of daily use. Creatine builds through muscle saturation, not acute dosing — there's no "day one" effect. The customers who get the most out of Payload are the ones who take it every day for at least 2 months.

Does it dissolve cleanly?

Yes. Payload is micronized (200-mesh), which significantly improves solubility over standard creatine. Mix with 8 oz of water, stir briefly, drink. A small amount of settling at the bottom is normal — finish the glass and you've got the full dose.

What's your return policy?

60-day money-back guarantee. If Payload isn't for you, email support@hoplitenutrition.com within 60 days of delivery for a full refund — no need to send the bottle back. Subscription cancellations are one-click in your account.
