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
What the label discloses
1listed rows
1separately quantified
0combined blend totals
The listing-image panel publishes an amount for each of its 1 listed row. That supports ingredient-by-ingredient review; it does not verify the contents.
| Panel row | Amount | %DV | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Creatine Monohydrate (micronized) | 5g | — |
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:google/gemini-flash-1.5 Amounts are shown as listed panel data, not independently lab-tested contents.
Every check we ran
Confirmed evidence
What checked out6
These checks found support in the public record. They confirm specific facts, not the product as a whole.
Confirmed
Testing claim names a recognized certifier
A named certifier/laboratory appears in the listing (registry cross-check pending).
Exact trademark owner identified
USPTO lists eSupplements, LLC (LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY) in UTAH, 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.
Found on the brand's own store
The brand's store lists this exact barcode as “Nutricost Creatine Monohydrate Powder” (variant: Pineapple Mango / 500 G) — identity confirmed across retailer listings.
Barcode confirmed in an outside database
Open Food Facts resolves 810014678962 to "Creatine Monohydrate" (Nutricost) — consistent with this listing.
Reviews accumulated gradually
Written reviews grew from 254 to 351 across 2026-02-08 – 2026-07-20 with no single manufactured spike (largest 30-day gain ~24).
Documented concerns
What needs caution0
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
What is still missing6
We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.
Panel amounts are awaiting a clearer image read
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.
Photo-read pack math is internally consistent
77 servings × 7 g = 539 g, matching the printed net weight 500 g (NET WT. 17.9 OZ (1.1 LB) (500 G)). This checks agreement within the photo read; it is not an independent contents test.
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).
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 253 on 2026-01-30 to 351 on 2026-07-20 (net +98). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
Package and trademark records name different responsible entitie
The package says manufactured for: nutricost, 351 E 1750 N, Vineyard, UT 84059. USPTO names eSupplements, LLC as the exact wordmark owner. That can be a normal distributor, manufacturer, or licensing relationship; the saved records do not establish the relationship.
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
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.
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 810014678962.
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 “…y standards. Independently Tested: To ensure purity and potency, every batch of Nutricost's Creatine Monohyd…” | 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 “…pport your training goals. NSF Certified and GMP Compliant: Rest assured of the product's qua…” | 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 “…servings, allowing for an extended supply to support your training goals. NSF Certified and GMP C…” | 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
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 (micronized) | 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.
