Best magnesium for sleep in winter: what the evidence actually supports (and realistic recovery benefits too)
Forms, dosing, food sources, and tempering the hype around magnesium glycinate for sleep.
As you’ll come to learn in this review, I have been testing a few Momentous supplements this past couple of months but Creatine Chews are the headline for me.
Not because they’re “better” than creatine powder, or the others (they all serve different purposes), but because they make daily creatine genuinely hard to skip.
Over the last two months, my Tonal 2 home gym has been the anchor that keeps my strength training consistent. I walk up, tap a workout, lift, and I’m done. No setup drama, no gym commute, no “I’ll do it tomorrow” – it really is one of the best/most useful bits of tech I have reviewed in years.
Supplements, however, don’t create that habit, but they can support it, especially when you’re trying to lift heavier, recover faster, and stay steady through a training block, whether using a Tonal, your local gym or working out at home with a set of dumbbells.
That’s where Momentous supplements have slotted into my routine. I’ve been testing their Creatine Chews (the main reason I’m writing this), plus Whey Protein Isolate, Creatine Monohydrate Powder, Omega-3 Softgel Capsules, and Longevity capsules (a science-led formula designed to support cellular energy, balance, and long-term resilience).
A few have become easy “keep these stocked” staples for me. Others I use more situationally. But overall, this has been a clean, simple stack that fits the way I train, in a very clean form.
About Momentous
Momentous exists because they were frustrated with an industry full of vague labels, unnecessary fillers, and “trust me bro” formulas.
Their whole thing is what they call The Momentous Standard, a higher bar for sourcing, science and testing.
This means transparent labels (no ‘hidden’ proprietary blends), high-quality ingredients, and rigorous third-party testing that meets the standards demanded by major pro sports and elite organizations.
That doesn’t automatically make a supplement “right for you,” but it does matter if you care about knowing exactly what you’re taking, like we do.
Momentous Creatine Chews: the daily creatine I actually take
I’ve taken creatine on and off for years. The idea is easy but it’s the consistency that usually breaks, and I only take it when I want to support my hard work in training, whether that be for my strength workouts, or running.
The reason Momentous Creatine Chews have worked for me is the format and taste: they’re chewable tablets, and each chew contains 1g of Creapure® creatine monohydrate.
The recommended approach is simple too: take 5+ chews daily to hit the commonly studied 5g/day range.
No shaker, no grittiness at the bottom of your shaker, and a form factor that makes them easy to take with you to work, or on vacation. They’re smaller than you may think, see photo below.
On days I’m training, I’ll usually take them around my workout just because it’s an easy anchor habit. On rest days, I still take them, because creatine is more about saturating your stores over time than perfect timing.
A few other details worth noting:
- They’re NSF Certified for Sport and positioned as minimal/clean compared to a lot of other chewable options out there.
- Flavors currently include Lemon Lime, Mango, and Strawberry. I have been testing lemon Lime, and love the taste.
- They’re also labeled vegan-friendly on the product page.
If you already take creatine powder daily without fail, chews might feel unnecessary. But if you’re like me and friction is the enemy, these make consistency almost automatic, and that, my friends, is key to success!
When you subscribe, you get 25% OFF, bringing the price down to $37.46, from $49.95 for 30 servings (or more if you don’t go with the full 5 chews a day); that’s very reasonable. You can cancel at anytime so I recommend going this route if you plan on trying out Momentous Creatine. Subscription auto-applies the discount – no code needed.
Creatine vs protein: what each does for strength, power, and hypertrophy
This is the quick explainer I wish more people heard early on, including ‘younger me’:
Creatine (the “more reps at the same weight” support)
Creatine helps your body regenerate ATP (your quick energy currency) during short, intense efforts.
In practical training terms, it can support strength and power output and help you squeeze out a bit more high-quality work across sets over time.
The International Society of Sports Nutrition has consistently described creatine monohydrate as safe and effective when used within established guidelines.
That’s why creatine pairs so well with something like Tonal 2. When your sessions are built around progressive overload, small performance bumps compound.
Protein powder (the “hit your daily protein target” tool)
Protein is different. It’s not a performance “kick” in the moment. It’s raw material for muscle repair and growth, and the big win is simply helping you reach an adequate daily intake consistently.
It also helps with visible muscle growth (hypertrophy) but you’re not going to get there as quickly without the help of creatine because of the extra effort it helps you output.
A well-known meta-analysis (Morton et al., 2018) found that protein supplementation helps resistance-training gains, with benefits leveling off around ~1.6 g/kg/day for many people.
So the simple way I think about it:
- Creatine helps you do a bit more work and recover between efforts.
- Protein helps you consistently meet the nutritional baseline that supports adaptation, and therefore hypertrophy.
They’re not substitutes for a clean whole food diet either; they’re complements to one.
To learn more about the importance of clean nutrition, and the effects on your cellular health, you have to go out and buy the Good Energy book, it’s a fantastic read; learn more about it in my book review here. For more top reads, explore our ‘Book Of The Month‘ series.
The rest of my Momentous stack (and how I’m using it)
Whey protein isolate: the one I keep reaching for after my hard workouts
I’ve been using Momentous Whey Protein Isolate when my day is busy and I know my meals won’t naturally land me at a solid protein intake.
Two things stood out immediately:
- it tastes genuinely good (without that classic chalky “protein shake” vibe that so many brands get wrong), and
- it mixes easily with water.
On paper, it’s positioned as 20g protein per serving and explicitly framed as a tool for supporting daily protein intake making it the perfect strength building stack when used with Creatine Chews.
My most common use:
- post-workout when I’m not eating a full meal soon, or
- mid-afternoon when I want something quick that doesn’t turn into random snacking.
When you subscribe, you get 25% OFF, bringing the price down to $44.95, from $59.95 for 25 servings; so at $1.79/serving, that’s very reasonable. You can cancel at anytime so I recommend going this route if you plan on trying out Momentous products.
Creatine powder: when I want the simplest “one scoop and done”
Even though the chews are the headline, I still use Momentous Creatine Monohydrate Powder too.
It’s Creapure® creatine monohydrate and a 5g serving per scoop, plus NSF Certified for Sport®.
If I’m in a groove with Pure Synergy Beet & Pure Radiance smoothies (that’s my thing right now), or I’m already mixing Momentous Whey Protein, the powder is the fastest way to hit a full daily dose in one move.
If I’m traveling, running around, or just not in “mix things” mode, that’s when the chews shine.
When you subscribe, you get 25% OFF, bringing the price down to $29.96, from $39.95 for 90 servings; so again, at $0.33/serving, it’s very reasonable. You can cancel at anytime so I recommend going this route if you plan on trying out Momentous Creatine powder.
Omega-3 capsules: a simple daily baseline
I’ve also been taking Momentous Omega-3 Softgel Capsules ($29.96 $39.93 for 30 servings when you subscribe).
Their standard serving is 2 softgels daily with food, delivering EPA 800mg + DHA 800mg (1:1 ratio), and they highlight Norwegian sourcing and NSF certification/testing on the product info.
They are slightly smaller than the usual Omega-3 tablets you may have used before and they are easier to swallow due to their smooth outer casing.
Omega-3s matter because EPA and DHA are essential fats that most of us don’t reliably get enough of from food unless we’re eating fatty fish regularly.
They play a key role in cell membrane health (every cell in your body), and they’re heavily involved in how the body manages inflammation and recovery, which is relevant when you’re training hard and repeatedly creating tiny amounts of muscle damage that you want to adapt from, not just “survive”.
They’re also important for brain and eye health, and there’s a broader long-term health argument for getting enough omega-3s consistently, not just when you’re in a heavy training block.
Why I keep these in:
- it’s an easy daily habit (take with a meal), and
- it’s one of those “foundation” supplements I’m happy to be consistent with, especially during hard training periods, and
- it’s a simple way to cover an essential nutrient that can be hard to hit consistently through diet alone.
Longevity: the “interesting” formula I’m testing more thoughtfully
Momentous Longevity ($82.46 $109.95 when you subscribe) is the most “supplement-nerd” part of this whole stack, and I’m approaching it with a bit more caution and curiosity.
The formula includes a mix of ingredients that show up often in longevity conversations, including Niagen® (nicotinamide riboside), Urolithin A, Betaine anhydrous, Calcium alpha-ketoglutarate, PQQ, and NAC, among others, with specific dosages shown on their label.
The suggested use is 3 capsules daily with food, and they’re not too large, making them easy to swallow.
I highly recommend that with food part as the supplement does have a very pungent smell when you open up the container and it does have a tendency to make you feel a little bloated when your first start taking it; food just takes the edge off this.
This isn’t something I’m taking expecting a “feel it tomorrow” effect. For me, it’s more of a longer-term experiment while I’m in a consistent strength phase, paying attention to recovery, energy, and overall steadiness.
(And as always with anything that affects health: if you’ve got medical conditions or you’re on meds, this is the one I’d be extra careful with and run past a professional.)
The simple routine I’ve settled into around my strength training
Here’s what’s been realistic for me from the Momentous stack, without turning life into a spreadsheet:
- Daily creatine: either 5+ Creatine Chews or 1 scoop Creatine Powder
- Protein: Whey Protein Isolate after touch workouts or when I need help hitting my daily total
- Omega-3: 2 softgels with food
- Longevity: 2 capsules with food (testing phase)
That’s it. No elaborate timing rules. Just consistency, because that’s what actually moves the needle.
If you’re not sure whether or not this routine will work for you, or would like some guidance on which products you should take, this Momentous Guide will help direct you to the ones that makes sense for you; it’s genuinely helpful if you’re not sure where to start.
Final thoughts
If you’re strength training consistently (weight training or running), the biggest win is still the least glamorous one: show up, progress gradually, recover, repeat.
But once you’re doing that, I’ve found Momentous Creatine Chews to be a genuinely useful tool because they remove friction from the one supplement that benefits most from daily consistency.
Add in the Whey Protein Isolate for easy protein coverage, Omega-3 as a steady baseline, and the option to experiment with a formula like ‘Longevity‘, and you’ve got a stack that fits neatly around your training habit, without turning your health management into a full-time job.
