It states the dose per serving, the certification is searchable in a public registry, and an ISO 17025 lab measured it slightly above its own claim. It is also on the failing side of the older NOW Foods round — we publish both results in the full review rather than the flattering one.

Common questions
Do creatine gummies actually contain creatine?
Not reliably. Across three public rounds covering 28 creatine gummy product tests, 16 missed their label claim. NOW Foods reported 7 failures among 13 products, SuppCo found 4 among 6, and the James Smith/Eurofins round found 5 among 9. The format can work, but the product and batch need credible verification.
How many creatine gummies equal one scoop of powder?
Usually 3 to 8, depending on the brand. Most gummies carry 0.8–1.5 g of creatine each, and the research-backed daily dose is 3–5 g. Always read the serving size, not the number printed on the front of the jar.
Are creatine gummies worth the money?
They cost roughly 3–8x more per gram than powder. That premium buys one thing: adherence. Creatine only works if you take it daily for weeks, so if the gummy is the reason you stop skipping days, it pays for itself. If you already take powder without complaint, gummies are a downgrade on price and dose accuracy.
What should I check on the label before buying?
Three numbers: total elemental creatine per full serving (target 3–5 g), the number of gummies that serving requires, and added sugar across that full serving. Then look for a third-party certification such as NSF Certified for Sport or Informed Sport — not a brand's own 'lab tested' badge.
