We’ve been bringing up the uncertainty of creatine gummies on almost every occasion possible due to the difficult production process of that sort of supplement and how it can break down in high heat and at specific pH levels. All of that comes into play in creatine gummies, but if you were wondering which ones to go for, if any, James Smith, one of the men behind Neutonic, has done the work for you and shared the answers.
James Smith went out and purchased nine different creatine gummies and had them tested by the reputable team at Eurofins. Very simply, he tested for how much creatine is in each serving and compared it to what is claimed on the label. Strangely enough, supplements either came out extremely reasonably, being right around their claimed amount of creatine, or ridiculously under, at a level you wouldn’t want to pay for.
You can see the graph below in the video, showing the creatine gummies James Smith put to the test, with only two names that we know of in Create and Myprotein’s Myvitamins. Those that showed up with good amounts of the classic muscle-building ingredient were Wellboost, Known Nutrition, and Myvitamins Creatine Gummies. Create did have a fair amount, although still quite a bit below its 4.5g per serving at 3.25g of creatine.
Those that massively missed the market were Unique Physique, Gains Nutrition, Overload (again), Supplment, and Push, all of which hovered around 100mg per serving. It is stuff like this that makes it incredibly difficult to trust creatine gummies, but again, at least there are some you can trust. We always go the traditional route of bulk powder, as the cost can’t be beat, and you can get additional ingredients in the supplements to further improve muscle strength and size.
Be sure to check out the complete video from James Smith above or through this link here, and it is well worth watching for general supplement consumers. This is a follow-up from the test he did on the popular creatine gummies from Overload, so it’s a very genuine look into the category. Smith even talks about some of the test claims made by brands and how well some of them are selling, which adds even more layers to the results.
