Why don’t more protein bars include creatine?

Seems like almost everyone who lifts already takes both anyway. A protein bar with 5g creatine built in would honestly make life easier for travel/work/gym days.

Is there a reason companies avoid it? Taste? Or is there already a good brand doing this that I just haven’t seen yet?

Would a “joint surgery supplement kit” have helped you before/after surgery?

Hello everyone,

I’m a 21M who went through hip arthroscopy for impingement/labral issues 3 months ago, and one thing I really struggle with during recovery and prior to surgery is figuring out what supplements could actually help.

There’s so much conflicting info online about things like collagen, omega-3s, vitamin C, glucosamine, protein, creatine, magnesium, etc. I found myself constantly searching Reddit, and other platforms trying to piece together what would help me the best.

It made me wonder if it would've been helpful to have something like a “joint surgery recovery supplement set” that is designed for people going through surgeries like hip arthroscopy, shoulder repairs, etc.

The idea would basically be:

  • A simple all-in-one pack
  • Pre-surgery month supplements
  • Post-surgery recovery supplements
  • Evidence-based ingredients/doses
  • Clear timing instructions so people don’t have to research everything themselves

Not trying to sell anything here — I’m genuinely curious whether this is a problem other people experienced too.

Would love to hear people’s experiences because going through this process myself made me realize how overwhelming it can feel.
