“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.
“STRENGTH &”
Evidence →The panel lists 5 g creatine per serving, at the top of the commonly studied 3–5 g/day range. This compares listed label numbers with research; it does not verify contents or recommend an amount.
Ingredient research can support context, but it is not a trial of this exact product.

CheckedIs the label honest?
Listing claim matches the Supplement Facts panel
The label promise and the Supplement Facts amount agree.
Evidence and sources
The listing claims 5 g; the photo-read Supplement Facts panel shows Creatine Monohydrate at 5 g per serving — the listing text and its photo-read panel agree; this is internal consistency, not independent testing.

Every ingredient shows its amount · 1 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.

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.
