You searched "nexus creatine", landed on a wall of tubs, and now you are stuck between the 150g and the 500g. Here is the Nexus range we stock, priced per serve, with an honest note on who should skip each one.

The short answer

  • Nexus Creatine Monohydrate is 5,000 mg per 5 g serve. The 500g tub is $62.85 for 100 serves ($0.63 a serve); the 150g is $27.00 for 30 ($0.90). Buy the big tub.
  • AMP3D 2.0 has no caffeine. It is the pump product: 3,000 mg citrulline and 1,800 mg beta alanine a serve, $88.45 for 40 serves.
  • PER4M is the caffeinated line, 200 mg a scoop at $1.52 a serve. PER4M 2.0 in Cola Crush and Juicy Burst goes to 250 mg.
  • Super Protein and the Sparkling Water cans are collagen peptides, not whey.

Nexus creatine: the only real decision is tub size

Both tubs are unflavoured monohydrate at 5,000 mg per 5 g scoop with nothing else in the mix. The only difference is what a scoop costs.

At $0.63 a serve the 500g runs about $19 a month at one scoop a day. The 150g costs $27 a month for the same dose, so buy it only for a short first trial.

Skip Nexus creatine if you want flavour or gummies, because this is plain powder. Our creatine buyer's rundown puts it against the creatine shelf.

AMP3D 2.0 is the stim free one, and buyers get this wrong

AMP3D 2.0 carries no caffeine. Per 19 g serve you get 3,000 mg citrulline, 1,800 mg beta alanine, 1,000 mg betaine, 1,000 mg creatine, 550 mg tyrosine and 250 mg alpha GPC. It is built for blood flow and focus, which suits evening training or anyone already drinking coffee before the gym. At $2.21 a serve it is steep for something with no stimulant in it.

Skip AMP3D if what you want is energy, because you will finish the tub thinking it did nothing. Our piece on pump versus stim formulas explains the split. Sour Apple, Red Sour Straps and Orange Cream are in stock; Blue Sour Straps is out.

PER4M is where the caffeine lives

The 400g PER4M tubs give 200 mg caffeine, 3,000 mg citrulline and 1,600 mg beta alanine per 8 g serve, at $75.95 for 50 serves. That $1.52 a serve is the best value stim pre workout Nexus makes, and thirteen flavours are in stock.

PER4M 2.0 is the 800g tub at $89.85. Cola Crush and Juicy Burst are reformulated: 250 mg caffeine, 5,000 mg citrulline and 1,500 mg creatine. That is not a beginner's first tub, so start on half a scoop. There is also a 500ml RTD can at $5.83 by the twelve, and a Mini Variety Pack at $29.85. See our strongest pre workout comparison and the wider pre workout range.

Super Protein is collagen, and you should know that first

Nexus Super Protein is a collagen peptide powder, and so are the Sparkling Water cans. The 750g tub is $74.85 for 30 serves ($2.49 a serve) with 4,600 mg BCAAs and 90 calories per 25 g serve, and roughly 23 g of collagen peptides. The panel lists 23 g of hydrolysed collagen peptides per 25 g scoop, with 4.6 g of naturally occurring BCAAs.

Collagen is low in some of the essential amino acids that drive muscle repair, so it does not do whey's job. Chasing a daily protein target? Buy a complete protein and use this as the easy drinking extra.

The cans are the standout: 16.9 g protein, zero sugar and 69 calories, $6.79 each or $5.83 by the twelve. Pink Lemonade and Super Icy Pop are in stock. Our protein water comparison sits them beside the protein water range.

What the research actually backs

Creatine monohydrate at 3 to 5 g a day is the most supported thing in the range. The ISSN position stand (Kreider 2017) treats monohydrate as the reference form for strength and lean mass, exactly what a 5,000 mg scoop gives you.

EFSA puts single caffeine doses of 200 mg as unlikely to raise safety concerns for healthy adults, and 400 mg across a day. A PER4M 2.0 scoop at 250 mg sits above that single dose figure, which is why we say start on half.

Morton 2018 in BJSM found protein gains plateau near 1.6 g per kg a day, and that work rests on complete proteins. Collagen has not been shown to do the same job.

Picking one without wasting money

With $100 and three or four sessions a week, buy the 500g creatine at $62.85 and add the Mini Variety Pack at $29.85. That is $92.70 for the two things that change your sessions. Already have whey and creatine? Triple Magnesium at $0.98 a serve is the sensible next step, and our magnesium for sleep guide covers the forms.

The one we would talk you out of is Easy Burn at $2.78 a serve. Its 150 mg caffeine is less than a PER4M scoop for nearly double the price.

Is Nexus creatine monohydrate any good?

It is plain unflavoured monohydrate at 5,000 mg a serve with no fillers, the form with the strongest research behind it. At $0.63 a serve in the 500g tub it is priced fairly, and there is no real quality gap between honest monohydrate products.

Which Nexus creatine size should I buy?

The 500g at $62.85 for 100 serves, unless you want a short trial first. The 150g at $27.00 works out to $0.90 a serve against $0.63, about 43 percent more per scoop.

Does Nexus AMP3D have caffeine?

No, AMP3D 2.0 is stimulant free. If you want caffeine from Nexus, PER4M is the line, and our stim free explainer covers when going without makes sense.

Is Nexus Super Protein whey?

No, it is collagen peptides, with 4,600 mg BCAAs and 90 calories per 25 g serve. Use whey or a plant protein for your daily target and treat this as the extra.

How much protein is in Nexus protein water?

The Sparkling Water cans have 16.9 g protein, zero sugar and 69 calories, at $5.83 a can by the twelve. It is collagen, so treat it as a light drink, not a post training shake.

How strong is Nexus PER4M?

The 400g tubs are 200 mg caffeine a scoop, PER4M 2.0 in Cola Crush and Juicy Burst is 250 mg, and the RTD can is 160 mg. Half a scoop is a sensible first serve.
