Bloom built a large following selling greens powders and energy drinks to women, and its creatine arrived in that voice: a powder listed in October 2024, then gummies in August 2025, sold as "essential for women's wellness". Its creatine draws roughly 15,500 US searches a month. A lot of that is the same question asked in different words, and it is not a verdict question so much as a label question that the brand's own pages make hard to answer.
The store's product text does not print the facts panel. The panels exist only as pictures among the product images, so this page reads them from those images, then checks the brand's claims against the certifiers' registers and the literature. It does not test the product, and it places no brand above or below another.
Two formats, one ingredient
Read from bloomnu.com's product feed and pages, and from the facts-panel images, on 2026-10-04:
| Product | Size | Store price | Creatine per serving | Per gram of creatine |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Creatine Monohydrate, Raspberry Lemon or Unflavored | 40 servings | $19.99 ($16.99 on subscription) | 5 g | $0.100 |
| Creatine Gummies, 90 count | 30 servings of 3 | $39.99 | 5 g | $0.267 |
| Creatine Gummies, 36 count | 12 servings of 3 | $19.99 | 5 g | $0.333 |
The store's own per-serving figures agree with the arithmetic: $0.49 for the powder and $1.66 for the 36-count gummies. Per gram, the gummies cost 2.7 to 3.3 times the powder. That is the same direction found at the other brands this series has read that sell both formats, set out on creatine brands.
What the facts panels say
Powder, Raspberry Lemon. Serving size one scoop (6.35 g), 40 servings per container, creatine monohydrate 5 g. Other ingredients: natural flavours, malic acid, stevia leaf extract (Reb A). The panel image carries two claims, "100% micronized" and "third party tested", and three badges: non-GMO, gluten free and "vegan friendly". The 1.35 g of the scoop that is not creatine is the flavour system.
Powder, Unflavored. The store sells it at the same price and serving count. Its facts-panel image was not retrievable on 2026-10-04, so this page does not state its scoop weight or other ingredients.
Gummies. Serving size three gummies, 30 servings in the 90-count bag. Per serving: 25 calories, 9 g total carbohydrate, 10 mg sodium, 5 g creatine monohydrate. Other ingredients, in label order: maltitol syrup, isomalt, maltodextrin, xylitol, pectin; then, under 2% each, carnauba wax, citric acid, fractionated coconut oil, natural flavours, purple carrot juice concentrate (colour), sodium citrate and steviol glycosides. The pouch front reads "Zero sugar" and "5g per serving". The badge reads "vegetarian friendly", not vegan, though pectin rather than gelatin is the gelling agent listed. The panel does not say why.
Three of the first four gummy ingredients are sugar alcohols. They are why a zero-sugar gummy still lists 9 g of carbohydrate, and they matter to anyone weighing gut tolerance. That literature, and why it is separate from creatine's own, is on creatine and diarrhoea.
The testing claim, and what could be checked
"Third party tested." The phrase sits on the powder panel. Neither the panel nor the product pages name the laboratory, the programme, what was tested for (identity, quantity, contaminants or banned substances) or which lots. No certificate of analysis was published on the pages read.
NSF Certified for Sport. NSF's register, read on 2026-10-04 (2,542 product links in the full listing), lists Bloom under Bloom™ Sparkling Energy, the canned drinks, and no Bloom creatine. NSF's separate contents-certification listing (NSF/ANSI 173) returned one Bloom product that day, not a creatine. What the Certified for Sport mark covers is in NSF's own description.
The government label database. The NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database held no Bloom creatine label on 2026-10-04, which is why this page reads the brand's images.
What the gummy format adds
The gummy is not a different creatine. It is a different vehicle for the same 5 g, and the vehicle has a record. A 2024 survey by a supplement maker measured 12 gummy brands by HPLC and named six as missing their label claim, with creatinine (the compound creatine breaks down into in water) found in the failures. Bloom was not among the 12. The survey, its arithmetic problems and the chemistry are on what the lab found in gummy creatine. Moisture is also what decides shelf life; the stability figures by format are on does creatine expire.
The marketing claims, against the literature
"Women naturally have 70-80% lower creatine stores than men." This is on the gummy page as a reason the product suits women. The figure appears in a 2021 review of creatine in women's health (Smith-Ryan et al., Nutrients 2021, PMC7998865). The muscle-biopsy comparison of the sexes in that review's reference list points the other way per gram of tissue. Forsberg et al. (1991) compared 23 women and 18 men under 60 and reported "an increase in total creatine content in relation to tissue weight" in the women. A per-gram concentration and a whole-body total are different quantities, and the review does not show the arithmetic that turns one into "70–80% lower". This page reports both documents and does not resolve the gap.
"Not ours!" on bloating. The gummy page answers "Does creatine cause bloating?" by saying products "formulated for men" cause it through "higher doses", while Bloom's gummies are "perfectly dosed at 5g". Every brand profiled in this series sells 5 g per unflavoured serving, Bloom's own powder included. What the water-retention studies measured is on creatine bloating.
The results timeline. The gummy FAQ lists "increased muscle creatine stores" after two weeks. At 3 g a day with no loading phase, the muscle-biopsy study behind the usual timeline took about 28 days to reach the level a 20 g loading week reaches in six (Hultman et al., 1996). The day-by-day evidence is on how long creatine takes to work.
"Essential." Creatine is made by the body from amino acids and obtained from meat and fish (Brosnan & Brosnan, 2007); Bloom's own FAQ says the same in its next answer. It is not an essential nutrient in the dietary sense. The training claims (lean muscle, strength) match the monohydrate literature summarised on creatine for women and creatine benefits. None has been tested on Bloom's product, and none needs to be: they are claims about creatine monohydrate.
What the labels and store omit
- Who makes the creatine, and where. No manufacturer, country of origin or branded raw material (such as Creapure) is named.
- Who did the third-party testing, for what, and on which lots.
- A facts panel in text. It exists only as an image, and the unflavoured panel could not be retrieved.
- A reason for the "vegetarian" rather than "vegan" badge on a pectin gummy.
Where it sits in the series
Every brand profiled, in alphabetical order, with the same checkable columns, is on creatine brands. For the forms behind the labels, see creatine forms compared, and for what micronising changes, micronized creatine.
Limits of this page
Prices are bloomnu.com list prices on 2026-10-04 and change; retailer prices differ. The facts panels were read from the brand's product images on that date and may not match every tub or bag in circulation. The unflavoured powder's panel was not read. This page records the brand's published claims and the registers, not a laboratory analysis of any product.
