The popularity of gummy workout supplements, particularly creatine, has surged, especially among women. These alternatives to powdered creatine are appealing for their candy-like taste. However, independent lab tests reveal that many of these gummies contain little to no creatine at all, misleading consumers who rely on them for athletic performance. Particularly concerning is a popular gummy by Happyummmm, which claims to follow the recommended serving size but tests show a drastic shortfall in actual creatine content. This situation raises alarms about the integrity of supplement marketing in the wellness industry.
One of the products SuppCo had tested was the highest-ranked creatine supplement on Amazon. It's made by a brand called Happyummmm, and has been purchased over 50,000 times in the past two months.
Creatine, a staple supplement for weightlifters and fitness buffs due to its impact on athletic performance, is experiencing a remarkable surge in mainstream popularity.
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.
The gummy supplements appeal instead of choking down a chalky powdered drink or swallowing a dubious-smelling capsule, you essentially get to eat some candy.
