What's on the back.
Aphia is a single-purpose supplement. Creatine monohydrate, a touch of sea salt, and a clean flavor system. That's the whole formula — no proprietary blends, no fillers, no fine print. It's vegan too: no gelatin, no animal-derived ingredients.
The whole panel, nothing hidden.
What you see on the back of the bottle is exactly what's in it. We don't use proprietary blends, we don't hide doses behind formulation names, and we don't pad the panel with sub-clinical sprinkles of trendy ingredients.
One job. One clinical dose. Done.
** Daily Value (DV) not established.
What it is. What it does.
Creatine Monohydrate
The most-studied form of creatine — and the only one with consistent clinical evidence for strength, recovery, and cognitive support. 5 grams is the dose used in nearly every peer-reviewed study showing benefit. We don't use HCL, malate, or "buffered" creatine — none of them have better absorption data, and most cost three times as much.
Sea Salt
A pinch of sodium does two things. It supports creatine uptake into muscle cells via the sodium-dependent creatine transporter (CreaT), and it brightens the flavor of the chew. Twenty-five milligrams is enough to do the first job and not enough to taste salty.
Sugar & Dextrose
Two grams of sugar plus a touch of dextrose isn’t only there for flavor. Simple carbs trigger a small insulin response that helps shuttle creatine into muscle cells — research has shown materially better uptake when creatine is paired with a small dose of fast sugar. Ten honest calories per serving for measurably better absorption.
Strawberry & Lemon
Natural strawberry and lemon flavors, plus citric and malic acids for the bright top-note. A small, regulated amount of sucralose finishes the sweetness so we can keep added sugar at two grams per serving. Stearic acid and silicon dioxide are standard tablet binders — together about thirty milligrams of inactive material per tablet, enough to hold the shape and nothing more.
Things you’d find on most labels. Not on ours.
The whole point of a clean label is that the things you leave out matter as much as the ones you keep.
Heavy metals
Every batch is third-party tested for lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic below the strictest state limits (California Prop 65).
Proprietary blends
Every dose is labeled. No “performance matrix · 3.4g” hiding 200mg of creatine in a bed of cheap fillers.
Sugar alcohols
No xylitol, erythritol, or maltitol. They’re cheap and zero-calorie but cause GI issues for many women, especially during training blocks.
Stimulants
No caffeine, no yohimbine, no DMAA. Creatine isn’t a stimulant — we don’t pretend it is by sneaking one in.
Trendy sub-doses
No 50mg of ashwagandha, no 100mg of beta-alanine. If a dose isn’t clinical, it isn’t in the bottle.
Color dyes
No Red 40, Yellow 5, Blue 1. The mild tablet color comes from the natural flavor system, not synthetic dyes.

It says exactly what it does. That’s the whole point.
