Sports Research Creatine + Electrolytes is a new sugar-free powder drink mix combining 5 grams of micronized creatine monohydrate with 1,000 milligrams of electrolytes per serving, now available in single-serve stick packs at select Costco warehouses. Launched October 1, 2026, it marks the family-owned supplement brand’s first entry into Costco’s sports nutrition aisle.
What Is Sports Research Creatine + Electrolytes?
Per the brand’s official press release, the two-in-one formula pairs creatine monohydrate for strength and recovery support with a four-electrolyte blend (sodium, potassium, magnesium, and chloride) for hydration.
- 5g micronized creatine monohydrate + 1,000mg electrolytes per stick pack
- Informed Sport certified, Non-GMO Project Verified, Clean Label Project Certified
- Sugar-free, refreshing fruit flavors, no scoops or tubs required
- Now available at select Costco warehouses
“What excites me is how this product comes together: the formula, the flavors and the quality behind it,” said Mike Pedersen, Chief Operating Officer of Sports Research, in the release. The launch is supported by a campaign called “Hydrate Responsibly,” which debuted over Labor Day weekend during a yoga session led by DJ Diplo at Country Splash Cabo in Mexico.
It joins a growing shelf of functional hydration and protein launches this year, including 2O3 Hydration and Optimum Nutrition’s protein shake with fiber.
Is This Common?
Combining creatine and electrolytes into a single stick-pack format reflects a broader trend of supplement brands collapsing multiple categories into one convenient daily product. What’s less common is the Costco-exclusive retail entry point: Sports Research says this is its first time stocking the warehouse club’s sports nutrition aisle, a notable distribution milestone for a brand that has mostly sold through specialty retail and e-commerce.
