Hey mate – creatine gummies are trending right now, but they’re dividing the nation like Marmite. With plenty of people ditching disgusting powder for a tasty chew, this has meant creatine gummies myths are doing the rounds too! Rightly so… there are plenty of industry cowboys afoot!

At Summit, we’re the authority on all things creatine, so we’re cutting through all the online chatter and giving you the answers you’re looking for.

What Are Creatine Gummies Anyway?

Before we dive in, here are the basics.

Creatine gummies burst onto the scene (Micah Richards style), offering a welcome innovation on a classic nearly 100 years old.

They’re meant to deliver the same benefits as powder (think strength, stamina, brain power), but in a form which is more pleasant, portable, and precise.

Sounds brilliant right? Well we understand your apprehension, so here are the most common queries flying about:

Creatine Gummy Myths: Let’s Sort the Maxims from the Misinformation

#1: Do Creatine Gummies Contain Enough Creatine?

First up, creatine gummies dosage concerns are very real.

You may be familiar with James Smith’s work exposing industry cowboys. In short: lots of companies out there are skimping out on creatine levels within their gummies (essentially flogging you expensive haribos).

From decades of scientific research we know that you need 3–5g daily if you want to see results.

But don’t chuck the baby out with the bathwater, there are premium brands out there getting it right. Just make sure you look for the following: transparency, published lab test report, solid reviews, and clear dosage on the label.

If they’re hiding their numbers, run a mile!

#2 Are Creatine Gummies Worth It?

Next up, the cost. Many ask area creatine gummies worth it as there is no hiding that they’re pricier than powder.

Fair point, but in all areas of life we reach for convenience. If you’ve read Atomic Habits you’ll recognise that consistency is the key to success. If you enjoy doing something and can transform it into a habit, you will stick with it in the long run.

Powder might be cheaper, but for many they’re a chore, a mess, and an unpleasant chalky drink. Gummies keep you consistent and that is what make the magic happen.

#3 They’re Just Full of Sugar, Right?!

The old sugar worry, this is valid too! Creatine gummies sugar content has many people fretting.

We get it – you’re a healthy individual, and part of this involves avoiding sweets.

Many brands do pack their gummies with unnecessary sugar, which nobody wants in their diet. But not all gummies are created (un)equal. Good brands will keep the sugar low while still tasting like a treat – never settle for less.

Bottom line? Check the label for low-sugar options, electing for natural sweeteners like stevia. 

#4 They Don’t Work as Well as Powder, Do They?

The last key question in everyone's’ mind is whether gummies can match the effectiveness of powder.

We’ve got some science for you here – this study suggests that nutrients in gummy form have greater absorption to those taken merely in a pill. However, despite finding gummies the superior option, this study was undertaken on Vitamin D supplements – so extrapolate these results to creatine if you wish!

This is probably splitting hairs – the key is to pick a premium brand which don’t skip out on the good stuff. Transparency, innit?

How to Take Creatine Safely

Worried about getting it wrong? In short:

• Stick to 5 grams of creatine daily

• Choose creatine monohydrate (most researched form)

• Stay hydrated throughout

• Be consistent (this is the real secret)

General Creatine Myths: Let’s Put These to Bed

There are broader creatine side effects which people are concerned about. You’ve probably heard the classics – women worried about bloating and men scared sh*tless about hair loss.

These are old wives tales, with endless studies debunking them. This 2021 review found no evidence of bloating, kidney damage, or hair loss in healthy individuals taking 3–5g daily.
