Are creatine gummies worth it? Only if convenience matters more to you than price: in our check today, creatine gummies cost three to five times more per 5g serving than plain powder. Here is what you pay for, what to read on the label, and three picks for the cheaper route, checked today.
What you pay for in a gummy
A gummy has to carry its creatine in a sweet, chewable base, so the label lists more than creatine: sugars or syrups, pectin, acids and flavourings, and sometimes extras such as amino acids or vitamins. Powder can be a single ingredient. The number to find is the creatine per gummy, because it tells you how many you chew for each serving and how long a tub lasts.
Our picks for the powder route
Creatine Monohydrate Powder · Beyond Shakers is our value pick. Beyond Shakers lists one ingredient, micronised creatine monohydrate, and a 300g pouch gives 60 level 5g scoops. It is unflavoured and labelled suitable for vegans, so it suits anyone who wants the lowest cost per serving and no added sugar or extras.
Brushed Steel & Blue Twist · Beyond Shakers is our pick for mixing it at the gym. It is double-wall vacuum-insulated 18/8 stainless steel, which Beyond Shakers says keeps drinks cold for 12 hours or more, with a 735ml capacity, a mixing ball and a leak-proof screw top. It suits anyone who wants the powder route to feel as easy to carry as a tub of gummies.
Drawstring Gym Bag · Beyond Shakers is our pick for keeping the kit together. It is 100% cotton with double drawstrings, so it wears as a backpack, shoulder bag or crossbody bag, and it is sized for a shaker, towel, keys and wallet. It suits anyone who wants a light bag just for gym sessions.
