Does the marketing hold up?

Research links are available for creatine monohydrate. Use the linked research to check whether the ingredient and outcome you care about are actually connected. Ingredient evidence does not verify this product.

Trouble on record?Recall check not run yeta gap in our records, not a finding about the product

“Couldn’t verify” means we looked and found no public proof — not a mark against the product. Most supplement claims cannot be independently verified by anyone, so grey is the normal state of this industry.

The checks, one by one

1 promise checks out. 3 could not be fully confirmed from public sources.

Checks out1

“Creatine 2,500 mg per serving”

The label promises 2,500 mg per serving. The panel says 2,500 mg. They match.

Evidence →

Partly confirmed2

“Capsules - 300 Caps, 2500mg per Serving to Support Muscle Growth, Endurance, ATP Production,”

Ingredient evidence exists; on dose: label claims 2500 mg/serving — below the range commonly used in research (3–5 g/day maintenance across trials (short loading phases use more)).

Evidence →
“Highest Quality – Manufactured in our GMP-certified US facility and 3rd party”

“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.

Evidence →

Ingredient research can support context, but it is not a trial of this exact product.

?Couldn’t verify independently1

“in our GMP-certified US facility and 3rd party tested, our clean gym supplements deliver”

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.

Evidence →

We looked and found no public proof. That does not count against the product.

What is worth knowing.

Headlines first. Open evidence only when you want the source trail.

Checks outIs 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 2.5 g; the photo-read Supplement Facts panel shows Creatine Monohydrate at 2.5 g per serving — the listing text and its photo-read panel agree; this is internal consistency, not independent testing.

Checks outWho is behind it?

The barcode identity checks out · 039442033451.

The barcode matches, so we are checking the right product rather than a look-alike.

Evidence and sources

Open Food Facts resolves 039442033451 to "Micronized Creatine" (Animal) — consistent with this listing.

Public contextWill you get what you pay for?

Reaching a studied dose costs about $11/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 1.2 serving(s) a day to reach the low end of the studied range (3000–5000 mg), this product runs roughly $11 per month. A price observation, not a recommendation.
