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 format — a different take on the usual mixing routine — and it is listed 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 the sherbet-style format and the choice of two tub sizes.
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. It is designed as a fizzy sherbet-style powder rather than an unflavoured drink mix. Per4m describes it as 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. A single scoop provides 2.5g, which is below the 3g daily amount specified for the performance claim. Follow the serving directions on the tub rather than treating one scoop as a full serving.
- 93g tub: 30 scoops — 15 two-scoop servings.
- 310g tub: 100 scoops — 50 two-scoop servings.
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?
- Commuters and travellers: no shaker to carry, rinse or leave behind on the train.
- People who dislike plain creatine: the sherbet flavour is the main reason to consider it over an unflavoured powder.
- Habit-builders: choose the format that suits your routine and follow the tub's serving directions.
How to use it
Check the serving directions on your tub before use. Two 2.5g scoops provide 5g of creatine; if you would rather use a drink, the powder can also be mixed with water. Avoid breathing in loose powder.
The flavour and format may make it easier to fit into your routine, but they do not change the creatine itself.
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 listed in a 93g tub (30 scoops) and a 310g tub (100 scoops). Both sizes are linked above so you can compare the formats and flavour range.
