Clear is a red flag — at least, when it comes to creatine.
Creatine gummies have surged in popularity over the last year, as more people learn about the benefits of creatine monohydrate for increasing energy, enhancing recovery and building muscle mass. Some studies have also revealed that creatine supplementation could support cognition and intelligence.
Unlike messy and chalky powders, gummies and chews are easy to take on the go, making them a more convenient choice for people starting creatine.
However, not all creatine gummies are made the same. In June 2025, an independent lab ran tests on six popular creatine gummies, finding that four out of the six popular creatine gummy products sold on Amazon contained little to no creatine.
So while gummies might be tastier and more convenient, it’s important to ensure quality and purity. There are a few simple signs consumers can look for before buying creatine online.
Creatine monohydrate is only about 1% soluble in water, meaning it should not dissolve completely into the gummy base. A bit of graininess and cloudiness is a good sign that a creatine gummy is made with quality creatine. Of course, it’s also important to check they’re third-party tested and NSF-certified.
Natures Aid is one brand that fits the bill. It’s new creatine gummies, which launched earlier this year, pack in 5 grams of creatine monohydrate, the “gold standard” form of creatine. They’re also sugar-free, gluten-free, grain-free and vegan, making them suitable for a variety of diets.
But most importantly, you can visibly tell that these gummies have quality creatine — just take a look at the color.
“Pure creatine is never see-through,” the brand explains. “It’s a rule of science we stand by.”
These NSF-certified creatine gummies are made using a unique, cold-processing technique that is intended to minimize high temperatures during manufacturing. This process helps maintain the quality of the creatine and ensure consistency over batches.
The company also partnered with a manufacturing specialist, known for its proprietary “zero-grain” technology. This method helps give the gummies a more palatable mouthfeel and uniform texture, while still keeping the creatine intact.
“They work the first time you take them,” one reviewer shared. “I’ve taken different brands throughout the years, but these actually work. I can tell I have more energy in the gym. They made a difference the first time I took them. No delay waiting for them to build up in the bloodstream.”
Reviewers consistently rave about Natures Aid’s smooth texture, slightly sweet taste and the variety of flavor options, from pineapple to watermelon. This tasty profile makes them a much more inviting choice for creatine-users. They’ve even been compared to candy.
“These are very soft and easy to chew. The taste is great; it’s genuinely like little candies, and there is no gritty texture or bitter aftertaste, like other gummies I’ve tried,” another user pointed out.
As with any supplement, it’s still important to consult your physician before use. While Natures Aid users reported overwhelmingly positive experiences, creatine use can cause some mild side effects.
