How strong is each test?

Three groups published results. None is perfect, so here's what each one can and can't tell you.

Where tests disagree, we show every result. A test paid for by a brand is shown but not counted. "No public test" isn't the same as failing; we list only what was measured.

Fell short when tested

Lowest batch first. The line on each bar marks 100% of the label. 8 of the 15 brands in this table are still sold on Amazon.

1. a Legion's test was paid for by the brand, so it isn't counted in the 25 brands.^*6
2. b Zhou's current chew adds B12, so it may differ from the gummy tested in 2024.
3. c Bear Balanced was tested in 2024. Its label now says 3 g per serving, so we don't show a cost for today's product.
4. d Create was tested three times: 72%, 85% and 102%. A 2026 lawsuit alleges 89%.^{*1–3, 5}
5. e Beast Bites is now NSF Certified for Sport, so the product may have changed since this 2024 test.
6. f Overload was tested twice: 6%, then not detected.
7. g Con-Cret uses creatine HCl, a different form of creatine than the others.

"Not detected" means the lab found less than its detection limit, under about 2% of the label. "None found" means the lab reported 0 and didn't publish a limit. Prices read Oct 22, 2026.^*10–12 Each test covers one batch, so a product may have changed since.

Why do so many creatine gummies come up short?

No one knows for sure yet. One likely reason: creatine breaks down into creatinine, a waste product, in water and heat,^*9 and faster when it's acidic.^*16 Gummies are made with all three. Dry powder barely changes, even after years on a shelf.^*8

That fits what NOW reported: every gummy that failed its test also held creatinine.^*1 But no study has measured creatine inside a gummy over time, and some brands may simply put less in.

Can you trust "NSF" or "third-party tested" on the label?

How to check a creatine gummy before you buy

You can't test for creatine at home, but three checks catch most problems. Of the top 33 creatine gummy listings on Amazon's best-seller list, 25 have no public lab result.^*10

1. Look it up on NSF's list yourself. Search the product name at nsfsport.com.^*7 Of the untested gummies we found, Momentous and Lemme are on it.
2. Find a dated lab report. Look for a test from an outside lab with a date and batch number, not just a "tested" badge.
3. Count the gummies for 5 g. It takes 2 to 5 gummies to reach 5 g across the listings we checked, and some servings are only 3 g. Do the math on the Supplement Facts panel.^*10

Results vary by batch. Three labs found 72%, 85% and 102% of the label, and a 2026 lawsuit alleges 89%. Create is on NSF's Certified for Sport list.^{*1–3, 5, 7}

Do creatine gummies work as well as powder?

Yes, if the gummy really holds the creatine. Creatine is the same molecule in a gummy or a scoop. The problem is the dose, not the form.^*8 Compare creatine gummies and powder.

It takes 2 to 5, depending on the brand, and some brands' servings add up to only 3 g. Check the Supplement Facts panel.^*10

Most do. The listings we checked range from 0 to 10 g of sugar per 5 g of creatine. Sugar-free gummies use sugar alcohols, which can upset some stomachs.^*10

Is creatine safe to take every day?

For healthy adults, creatine monohydrate is one of the most studied supplements, and 3 to 5 g a day is the usual dose. If you have kidney disease or take prescription drugs, ask your doctor first.^*8
