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 10 listed rows. That supports ingredient-by-ingredient review; it does not verify the contents.
| Panel row | Amount | %DV | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calories | 40 | — | |
| Total Carbohydrate | 7.4 g | — | |
| Protein | <1 g | — | |
| Includes 0g Added Sugars | 0 g | — | |
| Creatine Monohydrate | 5000 mg | — | |
| L-Carnitine | 1000 mg | — | |
| BCAA 2:1:1 | 1000 mg | — | |
| Taurine | 1000 mg | — | |
| Vitamin B12 | 2.5 mcg | — | |
| Vitamin B6 | 2.5 mg | — |
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 claims 5000 mg/serving — within the range commonly used in research (3–5 g/day maintenance across trials (short loading phases use more)). Sources: NIH ODS — Exercise & Athletic Performance fact sheet, Creatine stability by moisture and temperature (PubMed).
Written reviews rose from 7 to 9 between July 16 and August 1, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 2, 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.
We read the full Supplement Facts panel from the listing-image panel (below), but the label doesn’t state a serving weight, so the arithmetic can’t run. A gap in the label’s information, not evidence of a problem.
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).
Creatine is stable as dry powder, while published stability research shows faster degradation as moisture and temperature rise. A gummy's delivered amount therefore depends on formulation and shelf-life testing; this record does not test this product.
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 7 on 2026-07-16 to 9 on 2026-08-01 (net +2). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
This record does not hold an exact, supplement-class public ownership record for the brand. That is a LookCloser coverage gap, not evidence that the brand has no owner or that the product is improper.
What to ask and check
Ask the brand or seller
Which specific study supports this claim — and was it run on this exact formula?
Ask for the citation, how many people took part, the dose used, and whether the study tested this product or just one ingredient in it. Ingredient research is not product evidence.
What is the product’s UPC or GTIN?
The barcode is how a product gets matched to outside records — certification registries, label databases, recall data. Without it, almost nothing can be cross-checked.
Is this label filed with NIH’s Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD)?
Filing is voluntary, so absence proves nothing — but a filed label puts the full ingredient table on public record where anyone can read it.
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.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical-evidence claim “…CLINICALLY STUDIED INGREDIENTS…” | No evidence located We looked for: a named, citable clinical study of this product or formula | We found no named, citable study of this product or formula. The claim may rest on ingredient research rather than a trial of this product. |
| Speed-of-results claim “…FAST-ACTING FORMULA FOR: Strength, Performance, Endurance, Energy…” | No evidence located We looked for: a study measuring the stated outcome over the stated time | We found no study of this product measuring the stated outcome over the stated timeframe. |
| Manufacturing claim “…GMP Certified…” | 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 “…DESIGNED FOR ACTIVE LIFESTYLES – Creatine Monohydrate helps support muscle strength, power, and exercise performance.…” | Partly supported We looked for: whether the ingredient doses on the label match the doses used in published research | Ingredient evidence exists; on dose: label claims 5000 mg/serving — within the range commonly used in research (3–5 g/day maintenance across trials (short loading phases use more)). |
“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 Monohydrate | 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.
Verifiability profile — 2 of 6 public signals
