Why this site exists
Because independent labs found that roughly half of creatine gummies did not contain the creatine on the label, and almost nothing on page one of Google mentions it.
GummyGains covers one narrow category properly: creatine gummies. That means reading supplement facts panels rather than marketing copy, tracking every independent lab result published on the category, and doing the cost-per-dose arithmetic that brands would rather you did not do.
Creatine itself is not controversial. Creatine monohydrate has hundreds of clinical trials behind it and one of the strongest safety records of any sports supplement. The problem is specific to this format: gummies are made with water and heat, creatine degrades to creatinine in water, and the resulting failure rate in independent testing has been roughly fifty percent.
So the useful job is not "explain creatine". It is: which jars actually contain it, how many pieces you need to chew, and what that really costs.
What you can expect from us
- Published evaluation criteria applied identically to every product.
- Both sides of a conflicting lab result, even when it complicates a recommendation.
- Cost per 5 g dose, not per bottle.
- Short lists. If two products clear the bar, we list two.
- Clear disclosure of every affiliate relationship.
What we are not
We are not a lab, and we do not run our own assays — we report published results from third parties and cite them. We are not doctors, and nothing here is medical advice. And we are not neutral about money: this site is funded by affiliate commissions, which is exactly why the criteria are published and why we name the weaknesses of the products we recommend.
