Is Creapure brand Creatine worth it anymore?

It seems that some of the brands, such as Optimum Nutrition, no longer use Creapure in their Creatine powder. I was about to buy some, but read comments on Amazon stating that they pulled a switch. I'm looking for something reasonably priced that's also good quality. This is the cheapest I could find, but it's still overpriced, in my opinion:


So, is Creapure still relevant, or is it hype? I'm not an athlete. I'm in my 50s and trying to work off a lot of fat. I'd like to get the most out of the hours of work I'm putting in at the gym nearly every day. However, I try to avoid putting Chinese products in my body whenever possible. Is anything else out there safe/good?
 
I buy bulksupplements powder, I buy it from Amazon.com or from their website bulksupplements.com. it comes in a bag and I just put it in my own containers.

Yes it's from China.

Thank you. I've used bulksupplements for a while, but I've always been skeptical of the safety of their products.
