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.
The listing-image panel publishes an amount for each of its 14 listed rows. That supports ingredient-by-ingredient review; it does not verify the contents.

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; the open question is whether those listed amounts are independently verified and how they compare with relevant research.
vision:claude-cli:subscription 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. NIH marks this label as off-market (superseded or discontinued version).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.
Written reviews rose from 35 to 57 between July 24, 2025 and July 29, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 4, so the count moved in steps rather than in one burst.
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.
Technical check only: the panel’s 7 actives sum to 381 mg, which fits inside the ≈4,830 mg serving. This means the numbers are physically possible — it does not mean the formula was validated or the contents confirmed.
40 servings × 4.83 g = 193.2 g, matching the printed net weight 193.2 g (NET WEIGHT 6.81OZ (193.2g)). This checks agreement within the photo read; it is not an independent contents test.
Published sources describe how creatine monohydrate, magnesium, prebiotic fiber 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.
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.
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 34 on 2025-07-17 to 57 on 2026-07-29 (net +23). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
Check digit passes; no third-party database record found yet. Coverage gaps are common — not a strike.
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 349597002210.
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 “…Our Creatine HCl is third-party tested to ensure safety, and quality.…” | 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 “…Quality You Can Trust: CON-CRĒT is the first and only Creatine HCl manufactured in the USA, produced at a certified facility that meets SQF, NSF, and GMP standards.…” | 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 “…Quality You Can Trust: CON-CRĒT is the first and only Creatine HCl manufactured in the USA, produced at a certified facility that meets SQF, NSF, and GMP standards.…” | 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 “…Hydration That Powers Performance: Replenish essential electrolytes, including sodium and potassium, along with Vitamins C, B6, and B12 to support balanced hydration and” | 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
| Ingredient | Where this label sits | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| Creatine Hydrochloride | shaded = doses used in studies (3 g–5 g) · bar = this label | 750 mg — below the studied range |
| Magnesium (as Magnesium Glycinate) | shaded = doses used in studies (200 mg–420 mg) · bar = this label | 5 mg — below the studied range |
| Dietary Fiber | shaded = doses used in studies (3 g–10 g) · bar = this label | 1 g — 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.
