CheckedIs the label honest?
Listing claim matches the Supplement Facts panel
The label promise and the Supplement Facts amount agree.
Evidence and sources
The listing claims 5 g; the photo-read Supplement Facts panel shows Micronized Creatine Monohydrate at 5 g per serving — the listing text and its photo-read panel agree; this is internal consistency, not independent testing.

Every ingredient shows its amount · 1 ingredients listed.
Every ingredient shows its real amount — nothing is hidden in a proprietary blend.
Evidence and sources
The panel gives a per-ingredient amount rather than hiding quantities inside a proprietary blend, so each one can be compared to published research.

The barcode identity checks out · 023249091813.
The barcode matches, so we are checking the right product rather than a look-alike.
Evidence and sources

Reaching a studied dose costs about $8/month
Comparing cost at a research-relevant amount shows how quickly the package is used and what the routine actually costs.
Evidence and sources
At 1.0 serving(s) a day to reach the low end of the studied range (3000–5000 mg), this product runs roughly $8 per month. A price observation, not a recommendation.

Reviews rose from 527 to 874 between August 2, 2025 and August 24, 2026 — no sudden jump.
A count that moves steadily is ordinary. A sudden burst is what deserves a closer look.
Evidence and sources
Written reviews rose from 527 to 874 between August 2, 2025 and August 24, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 64, so the count moved in steps rather than in one burst.

Background reading
What the research says about these amounts
Not a score. Studies disagree with each other and change over time, so this sits beside the evidence rather than counting toward it — it is here so you can read the sources yourself.
The panel lists 5 g of creatine monohydrate per serving. Studies we found used 3 g–5 g a day, so this sits inside that range.
0studied 3 g–5 g
Study ranges differ between trials and change as research changes. This is background reading, not a pass, a failure, or a recommendation.
