Creatine monohydrate is one of the most researched ingredients in all of sports nutrition — but let's be honest, the way we take it hasn't changed in about thirty years. Weigh a scoop, add water, shake, drink, rinse the shaker. Per4m decided to shake that up (pun intended). Creatine Sherbet is a retro-sweet-inspired sherbet that melts in your mouth — no water, no shaker, no mixing — and it's now available at Muscle Supply in two sizes.
To be clear: it's not a new ingredient, and it doesn't claim to work any differently from ordinary creatine monohydrate. What changes is how easy it is to actually take — anywhere, anytime.
So what exactly is creatine sherbet?
Think of the sherbet dip you had as a kid, but with a job to do. It combines creatine monohydrate with citric acid, sodium bicarbonate, malic acid, flavouring and sweetener to create a fizzy, zero-sugar sherbet. You tip a scoop straight into your mouth, let it fizz and dissolve, then swallow. Per4m reckon it's the UK's first creatine sherbet.
The active ingredient is exactly the same creatine monohydrate you'll find in any conventional powder. Creatine increases physical performance during successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise, with the beneficial effect obtained from a daily intake of 3g.
How much creatine is in a serving?
Each scoop gives you 2.5g of creatine. A full serving is two scoops, so 5g in total. Prefer a smaller daily amount? A single 2.5g scoop still counts towards the 3g daily intake tied to the performance claim once you factor in the creatine from your food.
- 93g tub: 30 scoops — that's 15 full 5g servings, or 30 days at one scoop a day.
- 310g tub: 100 scoops — 50 full 5g servings, or 100 days at one scoop a day.
Which flavours can you get?
Both sizes come in five retro-sweet-inspired flavours: Cherry Fizz, Original Sherbet, Fizzy Bubblegum Bottles, Peach Sweets and Rainbow Candy. Every one of them is zero sugar — so it tastes like a treat without being one.
Who's it actually for?
- Dry scoopers: finally, a format that's genuinely designed to be taken without water — rather than a powder awkwardly forced into the role.
- Commuters and travellers: no shaker to carry, rinse or leave behind on the train.
- Anyone who can't stand chalky creatine drinks: this dissolves on your tongue instead of gritting up the bottom of a glass.
- Habit-builders: take away the mixing step and daily creatine suddenly gets a lot easier to stick to.
How to use it
- Tip one scoop straight into your mouth.
- Let the sherbet fizz and dissolve, then swallow.
- Want the full 5g? Go back in for a second scoop once the first has gone.
Here's the thing that matters most: consistency beats timing every time. Creatine works by topping up your body's stores gradually, so taking it every day — training days and rest days alike — matters far more than the exact moment you take it.
Sherbet vs. classic creatine powder
Nutritionally, neither one wins — they're the same active ingredient. Conventional powders like Per4m 100% Pure Micronised Creatine give you a lower cost per gram and an unflavoured option that vanishes into any drink. The sherbet trades a little of that value for serious convenience and a format some people find genuinely easier to take daily. Plenty of people end up doing both — powder at home, sherbet in the gym bag.
Where to get it
Per4m Creatine Sherbet is available now at Muscle Supply in a 93g tub (30 scoops) and a 310g tub (100 scoops), both in all five flavours.
Frequently asked questions
Does creatine sherbet work the same as creatine powder?
Yes — it's the same creatine monohydrate. The sherbet format changes how you take it, not what it does.
Is creatine sherbet sugar-free?
It is. All five flavours are zero sugar, sweetened with sucralose.
Can I still mix it with water?
You can, but the fizzy melt-in-your-mouth experience is really the whole point. Either way, the creatine itself works the same.
What allergens should I know about?
It's made in a facility that also handles eggs, nuts, milk, soy and fish. Always check the label for the most current information.
