Creatine Gummies at Costco – Too Good to Be True?
So I'm wandering through Costco and spot a giant jar of creatine gummies for like $15. I'm used to paying $30+ for powder. Anyone tried these? Is it a steal or are they secretly trash?
Hit the research stacks, Gary. Price drop doesn't always mean quality drop. Check the label: they might be using a less bioavailable form like creatine monohydrate is usually cheap anyway. If it's Creapure or micronized, you're golden. Also, dosage per gummy matters. Costco often negotiates bulk deals – could be legit. Just check for fillers or sugar bombs.
I've been using these exact ones (if they're the Kirkland brand). They work fine for my workouts – no stomach issues. I read reviews before buying and people said they're basically the same as pricier brands. So if it's Kirkland, you're good!
I'm all for cost-saving, but gummies usually have added sugar and junk. My keto peeps need to watch that. Check the carb count – if it fits your macros, might be fine. But I'd rather spend more on pure powder, no additives. #JustSayin
Creatine is creatine, but the body needs to absorb it. Some cheaper brands use lower quality binders that might reduce absorption. If you can, try a small batch and see how you feel. Also, consider cycling off occasionally. Balance is key, not just price.
