Create Creatine Gummies: 4.5 g on the Printed Panel, 5 g on the Product Page, and an NSF Listing for Both Recipes

Create is the largest brand in this series by search demand: about 47,600 US searches a month across its brand terms, most of them for "create creatine gummies". It sells almost nothing but creatine — gummies in seven flavours, stick packs, a creatine-plus-electrolytes drink — and the pages that rank for it are its store, marketplaces and lists of picks.

The sources here are Create's own: the panels pictured on its store, its product copy and its prices, checked against NSF's register, ClinicalTrials.gov and the published studies. No Create gummy was bought or eaten for it, and no position against other brands is given; Create sits in alphabetical order on the creatine brands index.

Two numbers for one serving

Create's store pictures the printed Supplement Facts panel for its gummies in two versions. Both declare the same serving and the same creatine:

The product description on the main gummy page, read the same day, says something else: each 3-gummy serving "deliver[s] 5 grams of pure creatine monohydrate", and its FAQ repeats "3 gummies and delivers 5 grams". That page sells the current 30-pack pouch (30 sachets of 3 gummies) and shows no panel for it.

The difference is half a gram a serving, about 11%. Neither figure is a test result; both are the brand's own statements, and the page does not say which one the pouch carries. In creatine terms the panel's 4.5 g of monohydrate holds about 4.0 g of creatine, because the monohydrate form is roughly 88% creatine by mass (creatine HCl sets out the molecular weights).

Two smaller things are visible on the same images. The tub's front carries a Creapure mark and one product line is named "1.5g of Creapure per Gummy"; the pouch's front shows the NSF mark and no Creapure mark (what Creapure is). And one panel image ends its "Free of:" list with "Mollit • Nulla • Non • Mollit • Proident" — placeholder Latin left in a design file, not an ingredient claim.

A third of the gummy is creatine

A 90-gummy tub declares a net weight of 1 lb (454 g), so each gummy weighs about 5.0 g, of which the panel says 1.5 g is creatine monohydrate — about 30%. The rest is syrup, sugar, allulose, water and pectin.

That ratio is why the gummy format is a manufacturing problem rather than a recipe choice. Creatine dissolved in water slowly becomes creatinine, its breakdown product, faster when warm and acidic; a gummy is made with water, heat and citric acid. The full stability data are on does creatine expire, and the reason a correctly made gummy can still read low by the time it is eaten is set out on creatine gummies.

Who checked it

NSF Certified for Sport: listed. NSF's register, searched on 2026-10-26, holds 26 Create Wellness listings:

• 15 creatine gummy listings in two lines. The older line ("Create Wellness Watermelon" and so on, six entries) records 33 calories, 7.8 g carbohydrate and 3.3 g sugar per 3 gummies in a 90-count pack — Panel A. The newer line ("Create Wellness Creatine Gummies Watermelon" and so on, nine entries including a variety pack) records 60 calories, 8 g carbohydrate and 5 g sugar, in 15 g, 225 g and 454 g packs — Panel B. Both carry "Lot #: All".
• 10 Creatine + Electrolytes listings, each with specific lot numbers, one stick 11 g.
• One unflavoured creatine stick, "1 Stick (5 g)", six lot numbers.

What the mark covers, per NSF's own description: testing for 290 banned substances, checking that contents match the label, screening for contaminants, and audits of the facility (NSF-certified creatine). NSF's public listing records calories and sugar but not the creatine per serving, so the register cannot settle whether the gummy holds 4.5 g or 5 g.

The 2024 survey. In March 2024 NOW Foods measured 12 creatine gummy brands by HPLC and named six as failing their label claim; Create was one of the six. NOW sells creatine powder, never released the per-product numbers, and its stated failure rate does not match its own six-of-twelve list — all set out on creatine gummies. When each of Create's NSF listings began is not shown on the register, so whether the certified recipes postdate the survey cannot be read from it.

The trials. The one published gummy trial used gummies donated by Create, against no supplement rather than against powder (creatine gummies covers it). A second study is now registered: NCT07579455, a University of Oklahoma randomised crossover in 16 healthy adults comparing blood creatine over five hours after Create's gummies and after creatine monohydrate powder, single-blind, recruiting, estimated primary completion December 2026 (ClinicalTrials.gov, read 2026-10-26). It is the first registered test of the format against powder; no result exists yet.

What a gram costs

Create's US store, prices on 2026-10-26, creatine monohydrate per pack from the printed 1.5 g per gummy (5 g per stick where the register or page states it):

If the product page's 5 g per serving is used instead, the pouch comes to $0.483 per gram. The 90-count tub on the main gummy page was listed at $60 and out of stock in every flavour that day.

Two points follow. The pouch, the format the main product page now leads with, is the most expensive way the brand sells a gram of creatine. And Create's own unflavoured stick holds the same molecule at half the pouch's cost per gram, without the 3–5 g of sugar. Format trade-offs in general are on creatine pills vs powder; a gummy brand selling a smaller serving, 3 g per three gummies, is read on the OMNI analysis.

The store's claims, checked against the literature

• "Builds lean muscle, improves recovery, increases energy, boosts cognition" — printed on the front with an asterisk to the standard dietary-supplement disclaimer. Creatine's lean-mass evidence comes from trials that combined it with training (creatine for muscle growth). On cognition, the European Food Safety Authority rejected a creatine-and-cognitive-function health claim in November 2024, finding a cause-and-effect relationship not established (creatine and brain claims).
• "No loading phase required … you'll reach saturation within 2–3 weeks." The biopsy trial behind the no-loading route used 3 g a day and found muscle creatine reached the same level as a loading protocol after about 28 days, not two to three weeks (how long creatine takes to work).
• "Stacking … lets you reach higher daily creatine doses (7–10g+)." The page pairs the gummies with its electrolyte sticks for this. The trial amounts and what is and is not established above 5 g a day are on how much creatine should I take.
• "Pectin-based … vegan-friendly." The panels list pectin and no gelatin, consistent with the claim; creatine itself is made synthetically (creatine for vegetarians and vegans).
• The electrolyte stick's "99.9% pure" and "pharmaceutical-grade". No certificate of analysis or purity figure is published on the pages read.

What the label and store do not say

• Which of the two panels — 33 or 60 calories — is on the product shipping now, and whether the pouch's creatine is 4.5 g or 5 g a serving.
• Any lot-level creatine assay, or a creatinine figure, for any gummy.
• The manufacturer or the creatine's source for the pouch.
• Why NSF lists two gummy lines with different nutrition figures under similar names.

The checkable summary

• Label: 4.5 g creatine monohydrate per 3 gummies on the printed panels; 5 g in the product description.
• Sugar: 3.3 g or 5 g per serving, depending on the panel.
• Certification: on NSF's Certified for Sport register (26 listings, gummies in two lines).
• Independent assay: named in a 2024 survey as missing its label claim; no numbers published.
• Cost: $0.39–0.54 per gram of creatine monohydrate as gummies; $0.27 as an unflavoured stick, on 2026-10-26.
• Evidence for the format: one unblinded trial against no supplement; one registered crossover against powder, not yet reported.

Limits of this analysis

The Create facts above come from its store, NSF and ClinicalTrials.gov on 26 October 2026; no gummy was assayed for this page, so the 4.5 g versus 5 g question stays open. With no Create label in the NIH database, the panels pictured on the store were the only printed labels available. Create's bundle prices move with promotions. The 47,600 monthly searches figure is a DataForSEO clickstream-adjusted US estimate. Gram amounts are reported as labelled, never as a suggestion.
