§ 5

Not in here

Flavor and sweetener
A flavor system occupies the serving and changes nothing that matters. Unflavored is the default SKU.
Anti-caking agent (silica)
Keeps powder free-flowing in the tub. It is not doing the job the tub exists for. The powder may cake; break it up.
Emulsifier
Creatine monohydrate does not dissolve well in cold water. An emulsifier would not fix that; warm liquid does.
