Create vs Beast Bites creatine gummies
Both are NSF Certified for Sport. Both are pectin-based and vegan. One is cheaper per serving and carries the full 5 g; the other has the cleaner recent lab record. Here is every number side by side, and the one question that decides it.
Affiliate disclosure: GummyGains is reader-supported. We have an affiliate relationship with Create and none with Beast Bites — if you buy through a Create link we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That is exactly why the Beast Bites case is stated in full below rather than glossed. Full policy.
The short version: Beast Bites is cheaper per gram of creatine and gives you the full 5 g in one serving. Create has two recent independent lab rounds behind it, including an ISO 17025 assay that measured 4.59 g against a 4.5 g label. Beast Bites was flagged in an earlier round and has not been independently re-measured since. If price and dose size decide it, buy Beast Bites. If the published testing record decides it, buy Create.

Where Beast Bites genuinely wins
The previously checked Beast Bites subscription was $1.20 per 5 g serving. Compare its current price with the selected Create option; do not assume the older price difference or an extra affiliate discount still applies.
The eight NSF Certified for Sport flavour listings are real and verifiable in the public registry — more flavour-level entries than Force Factor or Lemme carry. For a tested athlete under a banned-substance policy, that certification is the thing that matters, and Beast Bites has it.
Where the Beast Bites case weakens
An independent HPLC round run by NOW Foods listed Beast Bites among products that did not meet label claim, with elevated creatinine. Creatinine is what creatine degrades into, so an elevated figure points at either a manufacturing problem or heat and moisture exposure. Create and Con-Cret appeared in the same round. The difference is what happened next: Create appears in two later published rounds and passed both, including the ISO 17025 assay that measured 4.59 g. Beast Bites does not appear in either. There is no published independent measurement of a current Beast Bites batch confirming or clearing the earlier result.
NSF Certified for Sport is not the same test. It verifies that a product does not contain banned substances and is made under audited conditions; it is not a per-batch potency assay published for shoppers to read. A brand can be legitimately certified and still have an open question about how much creatine survives to the end of shelf life. That is the gap here.
How to decide in one question
Ask yourself which risk you would rather carry.
- You care most about cost per gram and getting a full 5 g. Compare the current Beast Bites price with Create per gram, then check the exact product’s certification and serving label.
- You care most about the published testing record. Buy Create. Create has a published independent potency measurement; see the tracker for results and dates across brands.
- You are a tested athlete. Either works — both are in the NSF registry. Check the specific flavour you are buying, because certification is granted flavour by flavour, not brand-wide.
- You want sugar-free. Neither. Both contain cane sugar. Our sugar-free comparison covers what is left.
What we actually recommend
Our preference for Create in this comparison considers its published testing history and three-gummy serving. Its test result is not unique across the category: Force Factor also passed SuppCo’s test. Compare current cost per gram and the evidence for the exact products you are considering.
Create’s Blue Raspberry 90-gummy tub displayed $60 one-time or $48 on monthly subscription on September 18, 2026. Its 30 three-gummy servings cost $2.00 or $1.60 each, respectively; the subscription cost is about $1.78 per 5 g equivalent. Additional affiliate discount stacking is unverified. Multi-month options can cost less per serving; compare the current selection and renewal terms. See the dated comparison.

Beast Bites on its own: certification and the earlier miss
Merged from our former standalone page on October 26, 2026. Prices and listings keep the dates shown.
The certification is real, and unusually broad
We searched the NSF Certified for Sport registry directly on 13 September 2026. Beast Bites returns eight creatine gummy listings: Hawaiian Fruit Punch, Pink Lemonade Squeeze, Simply Sweet Strawberry, Sour Peach Rings, Sour Watermelon Splash, Sweet Blue Raspberry, Sweet Strawberry and Tropical Mango Citrus. For comparison, Force Factor returns six and Lemme returns three. Listing counts across different formats do not establish superior quality. Check the current product-specific records.
That matters because certification attaches to a specific product and flavour. A brand with one certified flavour out of eight can still print the badge on its homepage. Beast Bites is not doing that — the range really is covered.
The part that complicates it
An earlier independent HPLC round run by NOW Foods on thirteen creatine gummy brands listed Beast Bites among the products not meeting label claim, with elevated creatinine — the breakdown product that forms when creatine sits in water and heat. Create and Con-Cret were flagged in the same round. We report this because we report it for every brand, including the one we recommend.
Two honest caveats in Beast Bites’ favour. That round is the oldest of the three we track, and a result on a batch from one point in time is not a permanent verdict on a product — formulations, suppliers and manufacturing controls change. And unlike some brands in that round, Beast Bites has since entered an ongoing certification programme, which is a materially different posture from doing nothing.
What we cannot do is tell you it has been re-tested and passed. It did not appear in the later SuppCo or James Smith/Eurofins rounds, so there is no published independent measurement of a current batch. The full testing record is here.
Our honest read
On paper this is a strong product: the full 5 g dose that Create does not quite reach, the broadest flavour-level certification after Create, and the lowest certified price per serving in the category. If price is your deciding factor and you want a certified product, Beast Bites is a rational pick and we will not pretend otherwise.
What keeps it off our recommendation list is the evidence gap rather than the old flag itself. Create has two published independent lab results on recent batches, one of which measured over claim. Beast Bites has a certification and an unresolved older result. For a category where the central failure mode is exactly the thing that round found, that difference is the whole argument.
How the two actually compare
Create’s Blue Raspberry 90-gummy tub displayed $60 one-time or $48 on monthly subscription on September 18, 2026. Its 30 three-gummy servings cost $2.00 or $1.60 each, respectively; the subscription cost is about $1.78 per 5 g equivalent. Additional affiliate discount stacking is unverified. Multi-month options can cost less per serving; compare the current selection and renewal terms. See the dated comparison.
Questions
Is Beast Bites NSF Certified for Sport?
Yes. Eight Beast Bites flavours appear individually in the public NSF Certified for Sport registry: Hawaiian Fruit Punch, Pink Lemonade Squeeze, Simply Sweet Strawberry, Sour Peach Rings, Sour Watermelon Splash, Sweet Blue Raspberry, Sweet Strawberry and Tropical Mango Citrus. Certification is granted flavour by flavour, so check the one you are buying.
Which is cheaper, Create or Beast Bites?
Create’s Blue Raspberry 90-gummy tub displayed $60 one-time or $48 on monthly subscription on September 18, 2026. Its 30 three-gummy servings cost $2.00 or $1.60 each, respectively; the subscription cost is about $1.78 per 5 g equivalent. Additional affiliate discount stacking is unverified. Multi-month options can cost less per serving; compare the current selection and renewal terms. See the dated comparison.
Does Beast Bites have more creatine than Create?
Per serving, yes: 5 g against Create's 4.5 g, both brand-stated. The relevant caveat is that Create's 4.5 g label has been independently checked and measured at 4.59 g, while the only published independent measurement of Beast Bites flagged it for not meeting claim with elevated creatinine.
Why was Beast Bites flagged in a lab test?
An independent HPLC round commissioned by NOW Foods listed it among products not meeting label claim, with elevated creatinine — the compound creatine degrades into. Create and Con-Cret were flagged in the same round. Create appears in two later published rounds and passed both; Beast Bites does not appear in either, so the result stands unrevisited rather than confirmed.
Are either of them sugar-free?
No. Create contains cane sugar, and Beast Bites lists both cane sugar and tapioca syrup. If sugar-free is a requirement, neither belongs on your shortlist — see our sugar-free comparison for the brands that do qualify.
