Evidence →The panel lists 5 g creatine per serving, at the top of the commonly studied 3–5 g/day range. This compares listed label numbers with research; it does not verify contents or recommend an amount.
Ingredient research can support context, but it is not a trial of this exact product.

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 Creatine Monohydrate (Creapure®) 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 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.

Reaching a studied dose costs about $12/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 $12 per month. A price observation, not a recommendation.

Reviews rose from 0 to 46 between January 13 and July 28, 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 0 to 46 between January 13 and July 28, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 16, 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.
