-
The performance-enhancing (ergogenic) effects of creatine supplementation are irrefutable and well-established in scientific literature. Supplementation with creatine (monohydrate) works by increasing the amount of creatine within your muscle cells (called "muscle creatine stores").
The additional creatine supply in your muscles serves as a reservoir of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), especially during intense and enduring exercise. Hence, creatine supplementation is consistently shown to improve athletic performance and body composition when combined with resistance training [ 1 ].
-
Beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB), a metabolite of the essential amino acid leucine, has been extensively studied for its potential benefits on muscle mass, strength, and exercise performance, with promising results [ 8 ]. When combined with creatine monohydrate, HMB may confer additive effects leading to further improvements in body composition, physical performance, and recovery time [ 9 ].
-
The black pepper plant ( Piper nigrum ) is a flowering vine that bears fruits (peppercorns) containing roughly 2-7.4% piperine by mass. In comparison, BioPerine®, a standardized extract of black pepper, contains a minimum 95% piperine by mass. Hence, as little as 5 mg BioPerine® provides as much piperine as 250 mg of most black pepper spices. (For reference, 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper weighs about 500 mg.)
Piperine, the major alkaloid found in black pepper, has been an emphasis of research in recent years due to its promising bioavailability-enhancing properties [ 14 ]. In other words, supplementing with BioPerine® helps increase the amount of active ingredient absorption in Transparent Labs Creatine HMB.
-
Research has shown that vitamin D can enhance the muscle protein synthesis rate, particularly when combined with other anabolic factors like insulin and HMB [ 15 ]. This is thought to be through the sensitization of the Akt/mTOR signaling pathway, which is a key regulator of protein synthesis in muscle cells.
This formula harnesses the synergy of creatine monohydrate—the most studied form of creatine—and a naturally occurring metabolite known as beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB), the latter of which helps reduce muscle damage and muscle protein breakdown. Creatine HMB is rounded out with BioPerine®, an absorption enhancer, and vitamin D3 for comprehensive muscle recovery.
Evidence-Based Synergy : Recent studies (cited below) have shown that creatine monohydrate and HMB significantly improve lean body mass and muscle strength gains beyond creatine or HMB supplementation alone.
Inside Transparent Labs Grass-Fed Whey Protein
How is Grass-Fed Protein Different From Normal Whey?
100% of our premium whey protein is sourced from dairy cows with regular access to pasture and other forage, raised without the use of growth hormones. All of our protein is 3rd-party lab-tested for purity and safety
| Measure | Whey Protein Concentrate | Transparent Labs Isolate |
|---|---|---|
| Protein Purity | Up to 80% protein by weight | 90% or higher protein purity |
| Lactose Content | Higher (can cause bloating/gas) | Virtually removed |
| Fats and Carbs | Contains lingering milk fats/sugars | Minimal to zero |
| Absorption Rate | Moderate | Rapidly absorbed |
28 grams of protein per serving, boasting an industry-leading protein-by-weight percentage of 87.5% (may vary slightly by flavor).
Sourced exclusively from grass-fed American dairy cattle, raised without the use of growth hormone, growth factors, and/or anabolic steroids.
Therefore, if you’re concerned about supplement performance, whey protein isolate is able to deliver a larger quantity of protein per dose, with faster nutrient absorption, and a much lower incidence of the undesirable side effects that frequently follow the consumption of whey protein concentrate. This results in a more enjoyable consumer experience resulting from the higher nutritional integrity of the whey protein isolate.
What does "Clean" really mean?

- Made with natural ingredients and no artificial sweeteners, fillers, food dyes, gluten, or preservatives.
What’s in your Natural Flavors?
The fundamental difference between natural flavors and artificial flavors is in their source. Natural flavors are created directly from everyday food items that are recognizable to most people, whereas artificial flavors are compounds that have been created in a lab to replicate the flavor profiles of ordinary foods.
While we pride ourselves on using clean, natural flavoring, we also understand some athletes prefer total simplicity. For those who want the pure benefits of protein without any added flavors or sweeteners, we offer an Unflavored Whey Protein Isolate option.
What Do You Mean By “No Artificial Sweeteners”
We’re proud to say there are no artificial sweeteners in any of our products. Our Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate is sweetened with stevia leaf extract (also known as Rebaudioside M), a natural alternative to traditional sweeteners that provides sweetness without added calories or affecting your blood glucose levels.
How to Use
Whey protein isolate
To use Transparent Labs Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate in a way that is both effective and maximizes your results, you should mix 1 scoop of protein powder with 6–8 oz of cold liquid, shake it vigorously, and drink it.
The optimal window of consumption to maximize your muscle recovery is 30–60 minutes post-workout. However, because your body is in constant need of protein for tissue repair and the proper maintenance of its essential processes, Transparent Labs Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate can be consumed any time to help you meet your protein goals.
Also, there is no need to limit yourself simply to mixing your protein powder in a shaker bottle. The natural nature of Transparent Labs Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate makes it a very versatile and pleasant ingredient to add to yogurt, oatmeal, pancakes and other meal varieties.
Creatine HMB
Add one level scoop (included in the container) of Creatine HMB powder into 10-12 ounces of cold water or your preferred beverage. For those who appreciate a bit more flavor or a different texture, feel free to adjust the amount of liquid to suit your taste preferences. Place the lid securely on your shaker cup and shake vigorously until the powder fully dissolves and the mix is smooth.
Post-Workout Recovery: For best results, consume Transparent Labs Creatine HMB within 30 minutes after completing your workout.
Take Creatine HMB Daily: On days you don't exercise, take one scoop of Creatine HMB in the morning (with or without food) to aid in recovery and maintain muscle creatine stores. Consistency is key for maximizing the ergogenic effects of creatine supplementation.
There is no need to "load" creatine as your muscle creatine stores will become saturated within a few weeks of consistent daily use of Creatine HMB (i.e. one scoop/serving per day). While you can safely consume 2-3 servings of Creatine HMB per day, we do not recommend using it for creatine loading as it will lead to excessive intake of vitamin D.
Allergens, in plain words
Is it suitable for individuals with dietary restrictions or allergies?
Some flavors do contain nuts (please refer to the label for allergen warnings). We test for gluten and the main 8 FALCPA allergens in all of our products. We have an allergen segregation program and sanitize our lines after each allergen-containing production run.
We are also NSF-certified on the facility level - this means that our allergen control and segregation program is approved at the highest standard possible. Note that our peanut-based flavors contain actual peanuts, so those with peanut allergies should strictly avoid these flavors.
Who Should Not Take Whey Protein Powder?
Individuals with a milk allergy or severe lactose intolerance should not consume whey protein powders.
Does this Product Contain Nuts?
No! While Transparent Labs Creatine HMB is manufactured in a facility that processes nuts (coconuts and peanuts), we have an allergen control program in place that sanitizes and cleans the manufacturing equipment between the use of allergenic and non-allergenic materials.

It’s no secret that the supplement industry is suspect.
The Transparent Labs Story
With minimal regulation and little oversight, opportunistic companies prey on healthy-minded consumers by peddling low-quality products that are chock-full of un-dosed ingredients, unnecessary fillers, and harmful additives. All backed by pseudo-science and outrageous claims.
The end result is a market overflowing with supplements that sadly do more harm than good. At Transparent Labs, we knew we could do better.

Frequently Asked Questions
Each answer below is copied as it is written on the Transparent Labs collection and product pages.
- Which Transparent Labs supplements stack well together?
- Many of our products can be stacked. For example, Creatine HMB and Hydrate pair well with any of the pre-workout formulas and protein powders.
- Are Transparent Labs' best-selling supplements third-party tested?
- Yes, you can view the results on our Third-Party Tests page.
- What makes Transparent Labs supplements different from other brands?
- You get what you pay for, and many supplement companies are just in it to move as much product as possible at the expense of quality, efficacy, and safety. We’re proud to offer industry-leading formulas with an unmatched commitment to using high-quality raw materials, natural ingredients, and full-disclosure labeling practices.
- What are the most popular Transparent Labs supplements?
- In no particular order, our five best-selling products are 100% Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate, Bulk Pre-Workout, Lean Pre-Workout, Creatine HMB, and Prebiotic Greens.
- How Much HMB and Creatine Should I Take Daily?
- For most adults, HMB should be taken in doses up to 3 grams per day, ideally split across one or two equal doses, while the typical daily maintenance dose of Creatine Monohydrate for active adults ranges between 3 to 5 grams.
- Should You Take Creatine HMB Before or After Working Out?
- We recommend taking Creatine HMB "around" the time you work out (e.g. 30 minutes post-workout), but it's unlikely to make a significant difference whether you take it before or after exercising.
- How Long Does it Take for Creatine HMB to Work?
- Measurable increases in strength and muscle mass may be seen in 2-4 weeks of daily Creatine HMB use.
- Should I Cycle Off Creatine Periodically?
- Contrary to popular belief, cycling on and off creatine is neither necessary nor beneficial. Creatine monohydrate is most effective when used daily over the course of several weeks/months/years, as this keeps your muscle creatine stores saturated.
- Is this Product Vegan?
- Yes. Transparent Labs Creatine HMB is made with vegan-friendly ingredients.
- Is it Safe to Take Whey Protein Powder Every Day?
- Yes, consuming whey protein powder daily is safe for most individuals. However, it's important not to rely on it as your sole source of protein.
- Does Transparent Labs Ship to My Country?
- Transparent Labs offers worldwide shipping, with a few exceptions due to import restrictions in the EU/UK, and high fraudulent activity in specific countries. Please check our shipping policy for more details.
Is Running Bad for Your Knees? What Science Says
- Cartilage is a living tissue that responds to running by gradually growing larger and stronger; it does not erode the way many people think it does.
- The muscles of your legs also become stronger in specific ways that make them more effective at absorbing the impact of running.
- Most of the knee pain caused by running is a consequence of dramatic increases in running volume before your cartilage and muscles can adapt to it.
Start Learning
Why Your Body Stops Responding to Protein
- There are several reasons why your body may become less responsive to the presence of protein in your body.
- Plant-based proteins often need to be consumed in higher quantities than other protein sources to accommodate for shortfalls of crucial muscle-building amino acids like leucine.
- If your workout is no longer as challenging as it used to be, your body may not be incurring the training stimulus necessary to initiate new muscle growth.
