It will melt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat This Is (and Isn't)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a creatine supplement in chocolate form, not a protein bar. At 0.3g protein it makes no protein claim — what it delivers is the daily creatine dose in the most convenient format ATP Science could engineer. If you want protein, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/atp-science-noway-collagen-jelly-bar\"\u003eNOWAY!® Collagen Jelly Bar\u003c\/a\u003e (20.8g) or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/atp-science-noway-collagen-fusion-bar\"\u003eFusion Bar\u003c\/a\u003e (20.5g) are the products. If you want your daily creatine handled without a shaker, this is it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCreapure® — Why the Source Matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreapure® is a registered trademark of AlzChem in Germany and the most rigorously specified creatine monohydrate available — 99.99% purity, produced at a single German facility to pharmaceutical standards with verified absence of manufacturing impurities including dihydrotriazine, dicyandiamide and creatinine. It's the creatine specification used in the majority of the clinical research that underpins creatine's evidence base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost creatine on the market is manufactured to a 99% standard, typically in China. The 3g in each Creatine Choc Bar is the same German Creapure® specification used in ATP Science's \u003ca href=\"\/products\/atp-science-creapure-creatine-monohydrate\"\u003eCreapure® Creatine Monohydrate\u003c\/a\u003e powder and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/atp-science-pre-plus\"\u003ePre Plus™\u003c\/a\u003e. At 10% of the bar by weight, creatine is the fourth ingredient by quantity — this is a genuine dose, not a sprinkle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy 3g Daily Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreatine is stored in muscle as phosphocreatine, which rapidly regenerates ATP during high-intensity effort — sprinting, lifting, any maximal output. More phosphocreatine means more power sustained for longer before fatigue. Research consistently supports creatine for strength, power output, high-intensity performance, lean muscle development and increasingly cognitive function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3g daily is the clinically validated maintenance dose for muscle creatine saturation. What matters most is consistency — creatine works through daily accumulation, not single-dose timing. The bar format is designed around exactly that problem: it's easier to remember a chocolate bar than a scoop of powder, and easier to take one every day, including rest days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eStimulant-Free\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo caffeine, no stimulants of any kind. Suitable for evening training, caffeine-sensitive users, or anyone who already gets their stimulants elsewhere. Take it any time of day without affecting sleep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e50% Less Sugar Than Standard Chocolate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 8.6g sugars per bar, the Creatine Choc Bar contains roughly half the sugar of comparable compound chocolate (measured against the Australian Food Composition Database 2025). The sweetness comes from Raw Cane Sugar supplemented with Steviol Glycosides, with Chicory Fibre (inulin — a prebiotic) contributing bulk and a small fibre contribution without added sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan and Allergen-Friendly\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreapure® is synthesised from non-animal sources (sarcosine and cyanamide), making it vegan by default. The chocolate base is plant-based with no dairy. Gluten-free, nut-free, non-GMO. This makes the Creatine Choc Bar accessible to a broader range of people than most chocolate-based supplements — including vegans, those with lactose intolerance, and anyone avoiding common allergens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Reviewers Say About the Taste\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe consistent theme across reviews is the absence of supplement aftertaste — a common problem with creatine-fortified products, since creatine monohydrate is naturally bitter. One reviewer notes they've tried this style of chocolate before and found them bitter, but this one isn't overly sweet and has no unpleasant aftertaste. Another describes it as a really nice chocolate flavour and texture without the usual supplement aftertaste. A third simply says it tastes like a chocolate bar. Currently 4.9 stars across 36 reviews.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNutrition Per Bar (30g)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnergy: 620 kJ (150 Cal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtein: 0.3g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGluten: Nil Detected\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFat, Total: 9.8g (Saturated 9.1g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbohydrate: 14.2g (Sugars 8.6g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDietary Fibre: 1.3g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSodium: 29mg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCreatine Monohydrate: 3g\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFull Ingredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVegetable Oil, Raw Cane Sugar, Tapioca Starch, Creapure® Creatine Monohydrate (10%), Rice Flour, Chicory Fibre, Cocoa Powder (3%), Natural Flavour, Emulsifier (Sunflower Lecithin), Sea Salt, Sweetener (Steviol Glycosides).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMay be present: Soy.\u003c\/strong\u003e Vegan-friendly.

It's a direct substitute for a daily 3g scoop of powder, in a form that's easier to remember and requires no mixing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs it a protein bar?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — 0.3g protein. This is a creatine supplement in chocolate format. If protein is what you're after, look at the NOWAY!® collagen bar range, which delivers 20g+ per bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan women take creatine?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Research supports creatine's benefits for women across strength, recovery and training performance. A 2025 review in \u003cem\u003eNutrients\u003c\/em\u003e specifically examined creatine supplementation beyond athletics, covering benefits for women, vegans and clinical populations. It's not a men's supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes it contain caffeine?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — completely stimulant-free. Suitable for evening use and caffeine-sensitive individuals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I stack it with other ATP Science creatine products?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFactor the 3g into your daily total. If you're also using Pre Plus™ (3g Creapure®) or the Creapure® powder, note the effective daily range is 3–5g — the bar alone covers maintenance, and stacking beyond 5g daily offers limited additional benefit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy is the fat content relatively high?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's chocolate — the vegetable oil base (which replaces the cocoa butter and dairy fat in conventional chocolate to keep it vegan and dairy-free) accounts for most of the 9.8g. At 150 calories per bar, it sits comfortably within a daily intake as a treat that also delivers your creatine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ATP Science","offers":[{"title":"Box of 12 \/ Caramel Choc","offer_id":44719527657561,"sku":null,"price":69.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Box of 12 \/ Choc","offer_id":44719527690329,"sku":null,"price":69.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1513\/5678\/files\/ATPNoWayCreatineBarsChocCaramel.png?v=1788224778","url":"https:\/\/topdognutrition.co.nz\/products\/atp-science-noway-creatine-choc-bars","provider":"TopDog Nutrition","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
