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.
We compared the listing claim (5 g) with the panel row (750 mg con-crēt® creatine hci). They do not match within the report tolerance; the source label or serving basis needs checking.
| Panel row | Amount | %DV | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CON-CRĒT® Creatine HCI | 750 mg mg | — | the real creatine number |
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.
vision:google/gemini-flash-1.5 Amounts are shown as listed panel data, not independently lab-tested contents.
Every check we ran
Confirmed evidence
These checks found support in the public record. They confirm specific facts, not the product as a whole.
Label #302167 “Con-Cret Creatine HCl” (CON-CRET), entered 2024-01-24, with the full Supplement Facts on file — see the panel below. NIH marks this label as off-market (superseded or discontinued version). Company on file: Manufacturer — Vireo Resource for Vireo Systems, Inc., Madison, TN, USA.
A named certifier/laboratory appears in the listing (registry cross-check pending).
USPTO lists Faulkner, Mark C. (INDIVIDUAL; CORPORATION) in USA; TENNESSEE, USA for the exact brand wordmark. This identifies the USPTO mark owner or applicant; it does not by itself prove who manufactures or sells this product.
Open Food Facts resolves 349597001992 to "Creatine HCL" (Con-cret) — consistent with this listing.
Written reviews grew from 123 to 185 across 2026-02-16 – 2026-07-23 with no single manufactured spike (largest 30-day gain ~9).
Documented concerns
These are documented contradictions or claims that need more evidence. They are separate from missing data.
No contradictions or product-specific cautions were found at this check depth.
Unresolved public record
We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.
Our image read produced 100 × 750 g = 75000 g versus net weight 75 g. OCR or variant mixing can cause this; check the physical package before treating it as a contradiction.
The current image extraction saved 1 ingredient name(s) but no usable amounts. This is a LookCloser processing gap, not evidence that the brand withheld the numbers; dose arithmetic is withheld until the panel is re-read.
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).
NOW Foods' 2024 program reported an under-label result for a product sold under this brand. The published row is not bound to this exact listing identifier, flavor, lot, or package, so it is brand-level context only and does not determine this product's verdict.
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.
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 117 on 2026-02-02 to 185 on 2026-07-23 (net +68). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
What to ask and check
Ask the brand or seller
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.
Where are the ingredients sourced, and where is the product manufactured?
“Made in USA” can describe only the final bottling step. Ask which country the actives came from and whether the facility is audited.
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
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.
Scan the barcode on the package and confirm it reads 349597001992.
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.
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
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Quality-testing claim “…NSF, and GMP standards. Our Creatine HCl is third-party tested to ensure safety, purity, and quality. Certi…” | Partly supported We looked for: the observed listing, saved brand product page, any linked COA or test report; NSF, IFOS, USP, Informed-Sport were not queried | A testing body is named on the listing, but we found no lot-specific certificate of analysis. |
| Manufacturing claim “…certified facility that meets SQF, NSF, and GMP standards. Our Creatine HCl is third-party t…” | 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. |
| Origin claim “…ust: CON-CRĒT is the first and only creatine manufactured in the USA, produced at a certified facility that meets…” | Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: customs records or label filings showing where ingredients were sourced and where it was made | “Made in USA” can describe only final bottling. Ingredient-sourcing records were not located for this product. |
| Benefit claim “…ngs Elevate Strength & Performance: CON-CRĒT supports strength, endurance, and recovery so you can…” | 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 — see Related research below. 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
| Ingredient | Where this label sits | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| CON-CRĒT® Creatine HCI | shaded = doses used in studies (3 g–5 g) · bar = this label | 750 mg — below 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.
