◐Partly confirmed2
“& Manufacturing Standards - Produced in a GMP certified facility in the USA and third-party tested for identity, purity, and”
Evidence →“GMP-certified” describes factory processes, not what is in the bottle. The claim does not name a certifier or public register that a shopper can check.
“Animal Creatine Chews – 5g Creatine Monohydrate Tablets for Strength, Power & Training Recovery Support – Enhanced Absorption with AstraGin® –…”
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.
?Couldn’t verify independently2
“& Manufacturing Standards - Produced in a GMP certified facility in the USA and third-party tested for identity, purity, and”
Evidence →No named laboratory or lot-specific certificate was found for this exact product. No exact brand product page was available for a document check. NSF, IFOS, USP, and Informed-Sport were not checked in this record. This is a public-evidence limit, not a finding that testing did not occur.
“IN USA WITH GLOBALLY SOURCE”
Evidence →“Made in USA” can describe only final bottling. Ingredient-sourcing records were not located for this product.
We looked and found no public proof. That does not count against the product.

Headlines first. Open evidence only when you want the source trail.
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 at 5 g per serving — the listing text and its photo-read panel agree; this is internal consistency, not independent testing.
Locked evidence record →Open the full source-linked findingCheckedIs the label honest?
Every ingredient shows its amount · 7 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 · 039442033321.
The barcode matches, so we are checking the right product rather than a look-alike.
Evidence and sources
Open Food Facts resolves 039442033321 to "Creatine chews" (Animal) — consistent with this listing.

Reaching a studied dose costs about $32/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 $32 per month. A price observation, not a recommendation.

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.
