Creatine Gummies on sale at Costco – too good to be true?
So I was at Costco today and saw they had a big tub of creatine gummies for like $15. That’s crazy cheap compared to the usual price. I’m thinking about grabbing them for pre-workout, but I’m wondering if the lower price means they’re using lower quality ingredients or something. Has anyone tried these? Are they legit or just a waste of money?
Hey Yuri, I’d be cautious with those mass-produced gummies. Often they’re filled with artificial sweeteners and binders that can mess with your gut. Creatine itself is pretty stable, but the delivery method matters. If it’s cheap, they might be cutting corners. I’d stick with a pure powder from a trusted brand. Your body will thank you.
I actually got those from Costco last week! They’re not bad, but check the label – they have like 4g of sugar per serving. If you’re watching carbs/sugar like me, that’s a dealbreaker. I ended up returning them and getting the sugar-free powder instead. Price is tempting but not worth the sugar spike imo.
Good points. I didn’t even think about the sugar, Mike. And Pete, you’re right about the gut stuff. Maybe I’ll just pass and wait for a sale on the powder. Thanks guys!
