Amazon has dipped its toes into supplements more times than most people realize. Over the years we’ve seen everything from Solimo and Amazon Elements to more performance-focused attempts like OWN PWR. Now, the company’s most recognizable house label, Amazon Basics, is stepping into classic sports nutrition with two of the most no-frills staples around: creatine and glutamine.
The new Amazon Basics Creatine Monohydrate and L-Glutamine are about as straightforward as it gets. No blends, no added ingredients, no flashy claims. Each product contains a single raw material, which fits perfectly with the brand’s value-first, keep-it-simple reputation.
Both powders come in 300g tubs, delivering 60 servings when used at the standard 5g dose. That means a full daily serving of creatine monohydrate for strength and performance, or a solid dose of glutamine often used for recovery and gut support. Nothing fancy, just the basics done clean.
Pricing is where Amazon Basics is clearly trying to compete. The creatine comes in at $17.99, while the glutamine is even cheaper at $14.39. Those prices are aggressive, especially for a brand backed by Amazon’s scale, although they are not rock-bottom. Brands like Nutricost still offer slightly better cost-per-serving options, even within Amazon’s own marketplace.
Still, it’s notable to see Amazon Basics go after two of the most popular entry-level supplements in the industry. Creatine and glutamine are often a consumer’s first purchase when getting into fitness, and a recognizable name with simple formulas could appeal to a massive audience. If these sell well, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Amazon Basics expand into other staples like protein powder or pre-workout using the same stripped-down approach.
For now, Amazon Basics creatine and glutamine won’t change the supplement industry overnight, but they do signal that Amazon is far from done experimenting in sports nutrition.
