Creatine dose matches the studied range
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.

How to read this report
What this is. We compare what a listing claims against what public records show — label arithmetic, barcode registries, NIH’s label catalog, FDA enforcement data, certification registries, and published research. Every statement below traces to one of those.
What the states mean. Confirmed = an outside source agrees. Contradicted = an outside source disagrees. Caution = something needs explaining. No data = we looked and found nothing — a gap, not a strike.
What it is not. A clean record is not an endorsement and never proof a product works. A thin record is not an accusation. We publish evidence and gaps; the conclusion is yours. Nothing here is medical advice.
Something wrong? Every figure is meant to be checkable — sources are named and linked. Send a correction and we’ll fix the record.
Panel, decoded
The 5 g creatine monohydrate claim matches the panel
MARKETING5 g — listing title

matches panelWe did the comparison: the listing claims 5 g of creatine monohydrate, and the listing-image panel shows 5 g creatine monohydrate 4 gummies. Those amounts agree. This is internal consistency, not independent lab testing.

Mass check · assumptions shown
8.78 g listed contents = 5.78 g major actives + 3 g carbohydrate
Assume 4 pectin gummies × 2.5–3.5 g each = 10–14 g serving. That leaves roughly 0–2 g for water, pectin, sweetener, acid, and flavor. Serving weight is not printed, so this is a warning, not a closed impossibility.
FDA rules (21 CFR 101.36) require the amount of each dietary ingredient per serving unless hidden in a listed “proprietary blend” (legal, but a transparency yellow flag). A label stating no amount at all is non-compliant — a checkable red flag. This panel states amounts; any remaining comparison concerns the front-label framing.

Every check we ran
Confirmed evidence
What checked out3
These checks found support in the public record. They confirm specific facts, not the product as a whole.
Confirmed
Every ingredient amount is disclosed
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 review count moved gradually, not in one burst
Written reviews rose from 0 to 26 between July 20 and August 4, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 26, so the count moved in steps rather than in one burst.
Documented concerns
What needs caution1
These are documented contradictions or claims that need more evidence. They are separate from missing data.
The label says 8.78 g of creatine in 4 gummies — but not what th
A serving is 4 gummies, and the panel lists 8,780 mg — 8.78 g — of creatine in that serving. What the panel doesn’t give is the one number needed to check it: what a serving weighs. Gummies of this type usually run somewhere around 2.5 to 3.5 grams each, which would put 4 of them near 10 to 14 grams. If that holds here, creatine would be a high share of the serving’s weight, and that is why we stopped on this number. But we did not weigh these gummies. The 2.5–3.5 gram figure is a general estimate for the format, not a measurement of this product. One published number would settle it: the weight of one gummy, or of a 4-gummy serving. Until then we can’t confirm the 8.78 g and we can’t dispute it. Nothing here says the product is short — only that the label doesn’t let anyone check. Checked August 4, 2026.
Unresolved public record
What is still missing10
We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.
“Lab tested” claimed, but no lab or report named
The observed listing claims third-party testing without naming a lab or certifier. No product-bound report is saved, so the claim cannot be verified as stated. NSF, IFOS, USP, and Informed-Sport were not checked in this record.
Multi-ingredient formula — panel read, serving weight unknown
We read the full Supplement Facts panel from the listing-image panel (below), but the label doesn’t state a serving weight, so the arithmetic can’t run. A gap in the label’s information, not evidence of a problem.
Research context is available for the listed ingredients
Published sources describe how creatine monohydrate have been studied. This is ingredient context only; the record does not establish that this product delivers the studied dose or outcome. Sources: NIH ODS — Exercise & Athletic Performance fact sheet, Creatine stability by moisture and temperature (PubMed).
Gummy format note (applies to creatine gummies as a category)
Creatine is stable as dry powder, while published stability research shows faster degradation as moisture and temperature rise. A gummy's delivered amount therefore depends on formulation and shelf-life testing; this record does not test this product.
Public label filing not saved
We have not found a public label filing for this exact product. That is a gap in our records, not evidence that no filing exists.
No recall found — which is not the same as being tested
This means only that no enforcement record matched the brand name — it does not mean the product was tested, reviewed, or cleared by FDA. New and untested products also have no recall records.
This item belongs to a catalog variation family
The paid catalog links this exact item to a parent listing. Review counts on public product pages may be shared across sizes, flavors, or other variants, so the count history is listing context — not evidence that reviewers received or tested this exact variant.
180-day review-count history is on file
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 0 on 2026-07-20 to 26 on 2026-08-04 (net +26). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
Brand ownership record not saved
This record does not hold an exact, supplement-class public ownership record for the brand. That is a LookCloser coverage gap, not evidence that the brand has no owner or that the product is improper.
UPC valid, no independent record
Check digit passes; no third-party database record found yet. Coverage gaps are common — not a strike.
What to ask and check
What would settle the open questions
Why is this shown?
Everything we couldn’t verify is something a person can still ask about. Rather than leave gaps sitting as dead ends, we turn each one into a specific question — the exact document, citation, or number that would settle it — plus the things you can confirm yourself with the bottle in your hand.
Ask the brand or seller
1
Answered by the panel: the 5 g listing number equals Creatine Monohydrate 5 g + B12(Cyanocobalamin) 0.025 mg. What lot-specific document confirms those listed amounts?
The panel resolves what the headline number includes. The remaining question is whether the product in hand matches those listed amounts; ask for a lot-specific certificate of analysis.
2
Can you send the certificate of analysis (COA) for the lot number on my bottle?
A real COA names the testing laboratory, the test date, the lot it covers, and what was measured. “Third-party tested” with no document behind it is a marketing sentence.
3
Is this label filed with NIH’s Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD)?
Filing is voluntary, so absence proves nothing — but a filed label puts the full ingredient table on public record where anyone can read it.
Most brands and sellers publish a contact route. A clear answer adds evidence to the record; no answer leaves the question open.
Check for yourself — no one’s permission needed
1
Compare the panel on the bottle in your hand to the one shown in this record.
Ours was read from listing photos and can contain reading errors. The physical label is the source of truth — if they disagree, tell us and we’ll correct the record.
2
Scan the barcode on the package and confirm it reads 198168626801.
A mismatch between the barcode on the box and the one on the listing is worth pausing over — it can indicate a different variant, a repack, or a counterfeit.
3
Check the lot number and expiry on the bottle against any COA you’re given.
A certificate that doesn’t name your lot doesn’t describe what you’re holding.
These are the open questions on this specific record — not a warning about the product, and not a suggestion to buy or avoid it. Getting them answered is how you decide for yourself.
What the listing promises — claim by claim
Why is this shown?
A listing’s promises are the reason people buy. Each one gets its own row: what was promised, what evidence would settle it, and what we could actually find. We never call a claim false — only whether proof proportionate to it exists on the public record.
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Quality-testing claim “…✅ THIRD PARTY LAB TESTED — EVERY BATCH, NO EXCEPTIONS: Independently tested for purity, potency, and safety.…” | Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: the observed listing, saved brand product page, any linked COA or test report; NSF, IFOS, USP, Informed-Sport were not queried | 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. |
| Manufacturing claim “…GMP certified manufacturing.…” | Partly supported We looked for: the facility registration or certificate behind the claim | “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. |
| Benefit claim “…💪 COMPLETE PERFORMANCE FORMULA — NOT JUST CREATINE: Every serving delivers 5000mg creatine monohydrate, 500mg L-Taurine, Betaine Anhydrous, Alpha GPC, and Vitamin B12 — ” | Partly supported We looked for: whether the ingredient doses on the label match the doses used in published research | Published research exists for ingredients in this formula. Whether this product’s doses match those studies could not be confirmed. |
“No evidence located” does not mean a claim is false — it means the seller has not put evidence proportionate to the claim on the public record, and we could not find any. Absence of proof is not proof of absence.
This label vs. the doses studied
Why is this shown?
An ingredient can be well-studied at one amount and barely studied at the amount in your bottle. This lines the label up against the doses researchers actually used. It answers ‘are these the same numbers?’ — never ‘should you take this?’
| Ingredient | Where this label sits | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| Creatine Monohydrate | shaded = doses used in studies (3 g–5 g) · bar = this label | 5 g — within the studied range |
Matching a studied dose does not mean the product works, and missing it does not mean it fails — it shows whether the label and the research are talking about the same amounts. Not a recommendation to take any amount.

Ingredient science — creatine monohydrate · Grade A
- Evidence: Human RCT meta-analyses (5+ indexed in PubMed for strength outcomes; ISSN position stand). PMID 40265319 · PMID 37144634 · PMID 39545789
- Studied serving: 3–5 g/day maintenance (≈0.03 g/kg); optional loading 20 g/day split ×4 for 5–7 days.
- Absorption: Creatine monohydrate is ~99% orally bioavailable when delivered intact — absorption is not the limiting factor; delivery-medium stability is.
- Delivery medium: Creatine is stable as a DRY powder but hydrolyzes toward creatinine (inactive) in warm, moist, or acidic media. A gummy is an aqueous, often acidic matrix — the documented reason independent testing finds many creatine gummies far below label.
- Kidney disease: consult a clinician before use.; Pregnancy/lactation: safety not established at supplemental doses.; Combine with adequate hydration.
