Pure Form Creatine + Lion's Mane review

Pure Form’s Brain Boost Bundle is the only creatine here sold for your head as much as your training: creatine monohydrate packaged with Lion’s Mane mushroom and Ginkgo Biloba extracts.

Three ingredients, one bundle

Creatine monohydrate does the familiar job of supporting physical performance. Lion’s Mane and Ginkgo Biloba are both long used as nootropics, the general term for supplements taken for cognitive support. There’s also some research suggesting creatine itself may support cognitive function, particularly under sleep deprivation or mental fatigue, which is presumably the thinking behind pairing them.

Worth being careful here: the cognitive evidence for these ingredients is a good deal thinner than the evidence for creatine and physical performance, which is one of the most studied things in sports nutrition. Treat the physical side as well established and the mental side as a reasonable idea rather than a settled one.

The missing doses matter more on this product

Pure Form doesn’t publish a per-serving milligram breakdown for the Lion’s Mane and Ginkgo Biloba. On a plain creatine tub an unstated dose is annoying but survivable, because you can measure 5g yourself and you know what the compound does. Here you can’t do either. Nootropic ingredients are dose-dependent, and a pinch of mushroom extract behaves nothing like a studied dose of it, yet both let a label say “with Lion’s Mane”. Without the numbers there’s no way to judge whether the cognitive half of this bundle is a real serving or a garnish.

What you pay against buying the creatine alone

At around ₱1,400 as of August 24, 2026, this costs several times Pure Form’s own plain Ultra-Micronized Creatine, which is the same brand’s creatine at a published 5g scoop. So the premium here is almost entirely for two ingredients whose amounts you can’t see. It holds a perfect 5.0 Shopee rating across 176 ratings, a small base, from the brand’s own store.

Who the combined angle suits

Buy this if you already wanted Lion’s Mane or Ginkgo, you like the idea of one powder instead of three purchases, and you accept that you’re trusting the brand on the amounts. Pure Form has a real track record in this category, which makes that trust less of a leap than it would be from an unknown shop. If what you actually want is creatine, buy creatine: you’ll pay far less and know exactly what you’re getting.

If you want the physical benefit only

For the same brand’s plain creatine at a published 5g dose, see Pure Form Ultra-Micronized Creatine. For a different kind of added-ingredient formula, built around carbs and BCAAs rather than nootropics, see MuscleTech Cell-Tech. And for a documented dosing protocol from a global brand, see Optimum Nutrition Micronized Creatine.
