Frequently Asked Questions

I pick the amount of every ingredient myself, based on what that formula is actually trying to do, and it goes on the label exactly as I chose it with no proprietary blend hiding what you're getting. I don't copy an amount from another product just because it's familiar or expected, and the reason I landed where I did for that ingredient is written right on that product's own page so you can see my thinking.

Bioavailability is how much of an ingredient your body actually absorbs and uses. The same ingredient can come in multiple forms with different absorption rates. Anvil uses the form with the best published absorption data for each ingredient, not the cheapest form available.

A proprietary blend lists ingredients without showing individual doses. That means you can see every ingredient listed but not how much of any single one is actually in there. Every Anvil product lists every ingredient at its exact dose per serving. You can read the amount for every ingredient straight off the label before you ever buy it.

Yes. Every batch is tested by an independent lab for purity, potency, and contaminants. Results are available on our Research & Testing page. Both product labels have a QR code that links directly to the testing results and the published research behind each ingredient.

They work well together but neither requires the other. Creatine is a daily supplement, so take it every day regardless of whether you train. IGNITE is a pre-workout, so take it before training sessions. If you use both, you can take the creatine at any time since it works through daily saturation, not acute timing.

If your current creatine is creatine monohydrate at 5g per serving with no unnecessary fillers, it's doing the same thing. The difference is whether you trust what's on the label. Anvil's creatine is third-party tested and contains literally nothing else. Check the "Other Ingredients" on what you're currently taking.
