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 175 mg caffeine claim matches the panel
MARKETING175 mg — listing title
PANELCaffeine 175 mg — same amountCreatine Monohydrate 3.3 g + Beta-Alanine 1.6 g + Micronized L-Citrulline 750 mg + L-Tyrosine 385 mg + Caffeine 175 mg
matches panelWe did the comparison: the listing claims 175 mg of caffeine, and the listing-image panel shows 175 mg caffeine 10g (about 1 scoop). Those amounts agree. This is internal consistency, not independent lab testing.

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 out2
These checks found support in the public record. They confirm specific facts, not the product as a whole.
Confirmed
Barcode confirmed in an outside database
Open Food Facts resolves 748927052695 to "GOLD STANDARD PRE-WORKOUT" (OPTIMUM NUTRITION) — consistent with this listing.
Documented concerns
What needs caution1
These are documented contradictions or claims that need more evidence. They are separate from missing data.
Marketed differently from how it was studied
The listing uses “pre-workout” framing, but published research attributes creatine monohydrate’s effect to studied as a daily supplement — the effect comes from muscle saturation over weeks, not from timing a dose before a workout. Sources: NIH ODS — Exercise & Athletic Performance fact sheet, Creatine stability by moisture and temperature (PubMed).
Unresolved public record
What is still missing6
We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.
Multiple USPTO brand-owner records are shown
USPTO returned multiple live supplement-class records for the exact brand wordmark: GLANBIA PERFORMANCE NUTRITION LIMITED, Glanbia Nutritionals (Ireland) Limited (limited company (ltd.); IRELAND). These records answer who owns registrations for the brand; the separate product-to-owner or manufacturer link remains open.
Listed amounts fit the serving
Technical check only: the panel’s 13 actives sum to 6,294 mg, which fits inside the ≈10,000 mg serving. This means the numbers are physically possible — it does not mean the formula was validated or the contents confirmed.
Photo-read pack math is internally consistent
30 servings × 10 g = 300 g, matching the printed net weight 300 g (NET WT 10.58 OZ (300 G)). This checks agreement within the photo read; it is not an independent contents test.
FDA recall appears in this brand's history
This recall is not about the product on this page. Lyons Magnus, Inc recalled a different product on July 22, 2022. FDA has since closed that case. The recalled item was “Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Chocolate 11 fl oz (325mL). UPC 7 48927-06409 4. Shake well. Best when served chilled. Manufactured for Optimum Nutrition, Inc., 350”. FDA recorded the reason as “Findings and potential for Cronobacter sakazakii and Clostridium botulinum”. Verify at FDA’s recall database.
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 1,530 on 2025-07-28 to 1,533 on 2026-08-15 (net +3). 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
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 0.175 g listing number equals Thiamin (as Thiamin Hydrochloride) 2 mg + Caffeine 175 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.
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 748927052695.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Benefit claim “…One 300 g container (30 servings) of Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Pre-Workout Powder in Fruit Punch flavor This pre-workout powder helps support performance, energy a” | 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 | 3.3 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.

Where it sells
We found a brand storefront, but we could not match any price on it to this exact product when we checked.
Brand store optimumnutrition.com: 55 supplement products (+2 merch items) — for comparison, single-focus brands typically carry 5–30 products; very broad catalogs are common among companies that rebrand ready-made formulas — a pattern note, not a verdict.

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.
