5 Ways to tell if your creatine gummies are fake

Number 5 will shock you 😱

Let me guess... You have doubts about creatine gummies. After all, 6 months ago, two of the biggest creatine gummy companies in the UK were found to contain 0 creatine in their gummies.

On top of that, the NOW manufacturer report has also shown that up to 46% of creatine gummies have 0 creatine inside them.

So you might be thinking: how can I ever trust a creatine gummy brand if I can’t verify that the creatine is legit?

The thing is... You can verify them.

That’s exactly why we put this guide together. So that can avoid wasting your hard earned money in fake products & finally turn creatine into a routine.

1

Lab tests (but not just any test...)

The number 1 thing to look out for are 3rd party tests. But not all tests are equal, and not all testing protocols good. Most creatine gummy brands rely only on manufacturer reports to validate their products. But manufacturers can cherry-pick which batches get tested. Which means that they trick the brand into believing the product is genuine and. So look for a brand that conducts their OWN independent 3rd party tests. Specifically, the best test to use is pairing HPLC with DAD analysis conducted by Eurofins [test code: M909I]. HPLC alone can lead to false positive results.

The look test 👀

The gummy should have an opaque look, and not be just clear. This is because the gelling agent used when manufacturing a gummy. Look out for the first ingredients on the ingredient pack, it should say either Maltitol OR Tapioca Syrup as they are strong agents that stabilise the creatine. Be especially concerned about bear shaped gummies, as they tend to be the ones reported to have the biggest problems.

3

The Weight Test

If it's fake, it will show on the weight. The maximum mount of creatine content that you can add to a gummy is about of 37% of the total gummy weight. So if a gummy weighs 4.5g the maximum amount of creatine inside it is: 1.66g.

4

The taste test

Unfortunately creatine gummies don’t taste like haribos. If yours does, it means that they don’t have creatine (sorry). Don’t get me wrong, they should be tasty. Hella tasty, actually. Otherwise, what’s the point? But they you should kinda “feel” the creatine inside them.

5

The Hot Water Test

The easiest way to verify if your creatine gummies contain creatine is to do the hot water test. Drop your gummy inside hot water and wait for 10 minutes. Does it look like creatine dissolved? Congrats. Your gummies have creatine. Real creatine gummies should have stable creatine inside them. And guess what? Creatine is water solutble. So if you melt your gummy, the creatine powder should still be visible.
