“GMP”
Evidence →“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.

Registered owner records: Hungry Fish Media, LLC · Force Factor Brands LLC
The public ownership record is ambiguous. We show the exact candidates instead of choosing one by name similarity.
Evidence and sources
USPTO returned multiple live supplement-class records for the exact brand wordmark: Hungry Fish Media, LLC, Force Factor Brands LLC. These records answer who owns registrations for the brand; the separate product-to-owner or manufacturer link remains open.
Locked evidence record →Open the full source-linked findingCheckedIs the label honest?
Every ingredient shows its amount · 5 ingredients listed.
Every ingredient shows its real amount — nothing is hidden in a proprietary blend.
Evidence and sources
The panel gives a per-ingredient amount rather than hiding quantities inside a proprietary blend, so each one can be compared to published research.
Locked evidence record →Open the full source-linked findingCheckedWho is behind it?
The barcode identity checks out · 810126661890.
The barcode matches, so we are checking the right product rather than a look-alike.
Evidence and sources
The brand's store lists this exact barcode as “Creatine + HMB” (variant: Default Title) — identity confirmed across retailer listings.
Locked evidence record →Open the full source-linked findingCheckedCan you trust the review pattern?
Reviews rose from 50 to 82 between August 30, 2025 and August 3, 2026 — no sudden jump.
A count that moves steadily is ordinary. A sudden burst is what deserves a closer look.
Evidence and sources
Written reviews rose from 50 to 82 between August 30, 2025 and August 3, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 6, so the count moved in steps rather than in one burst.

- No FDA recall matched this brand in the current search.
- We have not found a public label filing for this exact product.
These are evidence gaps, not strikes against the product.

Research behind the findings
Dose and research context
We could not match an amount on this product to a studied range for the same ingredient, so these links are ingredient background rather than a measurement of this product.
Background reading
What the research says about these amounts
Not a score. Studies disagree with each other and change over time, so this sits beside the evidence rather than counting toward it — it is here so you can read the sources yourself.
The panel lists 5 g of creatine monohydrate per serving. Studies we found used 3 g–5 g a day, so this sits inside that range.
0studied 3 g–5 g
Study ranges differ between trials and change as research changes. This is background reading, not a pass, a failure, or a recommendation.
