“Four of six popular creatine gummy products sold on Amazon contained almost no creatine or none at all when samples were tested by an independent lab.”
Product-quality testing reported by journalists (commissioned by the supplement-tracking company SuppCo), not a clinical study.
Testing was ordered by SuppCo, a supplement-industry tracking and recommendation platform; reporting by WIRED.
WIRED reported lab results on six creatine gummy products sold on Amazon and sought comment from the brands and Amazon.
"Four of six popular creatine gummy products sold on Amazon contained almost no creatine or none at all when samples were tested by an independent lab." For one top-selling brand, two gummies "actually contained 0.005 grams" against a labeled 5 grams; two brands "came back with 0 percent creatine."
It does not show results for every batch or brand, and it is not about whether creatine itself works. Testing was commissioned by a company in the supplement market.
Amazon said that of the four failing products "three have valid test reports verifying their compliance," and planned its own tests; one brand said it would retest with other labs.
