Is Creatine monohydrate halal?

The powder is made by chemical synthesis (sarcosine and cyanamide) or fermentation — no animal tissue in the powder itself. That process is not yet backed here by a named certifier page, so this is insufficient-evidence, not verified-halal. Capsule creatine is a separate check: the shell follows the gelatin / HPMC / pullulan rows.

What the sources say

Industrial creatine is typically synthetic. No grade A/B general ruling is cited yet.
Insufficient Evidence No grade A/B certifier page is cited yet. This row exists so the name is searchable. It is not a ruling. Muttoo catalogue desk (editorial note · grade C: secondary reference · accessed 2026-09-16)
Commercial creatine monohydrate in 2026 is overwhelmingly synthetic. Capsule form = Mushbooh until you confirm the capsule shell is HPMC or vegetable-based.
Secondary: powder almost certainly synthetic; capsules mashbooh until the shell is known Grade C aggregator. Not a basis for verified-halal. HalalCodeCheck (secondary aggregator · grade C: secondary reference · accessed 2026-09-16)
