Dose claim exceeds the serving's physical weight 1 documented contradiction — the evidence is below; the conclusion is yours. Evidence availability only; this does not establish safety or effectiveness.
1 of 6 public trust signals found · 2 product-specific concerns
The most important documented fact is that the claimed amount of creatine per serving appears to be impossible to fit within the physical size of a gummy. This means the product's stated dose may not be accurate, and doesn't check if the creatine is stable in this format. You can verify how the serving size is calculated by looking at the net weight and number of servings listed on the product page.
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, ISSN position stand on creatine (PubMed).
Nothing in this listing contradicts how these ingredients were studied (creatine monohydrate, magnesium, zinc). For example, magnesium: daily oral use; chelated forms (glycinate) are studied for absorption — note labels may state compound mass rather than elemental magnesium, which differs ~7-fold. Sources: NIH ODS — Magnesium fact sheet, PubMed search: magnesium glycinate supplementation.
Documented concerns
These are documented contradictions or claims that need more evidence. They are separate from missing data.
Claimed 5,000.0 mg vs. serving mass ≈406 mg from listing net weight ÷ servings — 1230% of total mass. A gummy is typically ≥60% non-active matrix; as stated, the claim can't physically fit.
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, ISSN position stand on creatine (PubMed).
Unresolved public record
We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.
Marketplace rating 4.5★ across 129 ratings. Authenticity not analysed: burst, purge and stockout patterns need price/review history.
Creatine is stable as dry powder but degrades toward inactive creatinine in moist, acidic media like gummies — the documented cause of widespread failures in published testing.
What to ask and check
Ask the brand or seller
Can you send a clear photo of the full Supplement Facts panel?
It’s the one part of the label required to state what’s inside and how much. A seller who won’t show it before purchase is asking for trust the label would have earned.
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
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.

Want to know if this changes?
Supplements are repeat purchases. Formulas get reformulated, lots get recalled, brands finally publish the lab report they were asked for. We can watch this record and email you only if something changes.
Your address is used for this one purpose. No newsletter, no marketing, no third parties, no tracking pixels — and every email carries a one-click unsubscribe that needs no login. We store the address, the record, and the date. Nothing else.
