Creatine Gummies on sale at Costco – too good to be true?
So I was at Costco yesterday and saw a big tub of creatine gummies for like $15 off! I usually buy powder, but these looked convenient. But I'm wondering, is the lower price because they're lower quality? Or is it just a steal? Anyone tried these?
From a retired nurse perspective, I'd check the ingredients. Sometimes sales mean they're trying to clear out stock that's close to expiration or reformulated. But Costco is usually good about quality. Look for third-party testing seals if it's a brand you don't know.
Just make sure they're sugar-free! A lot of gummy supplements pack in sugar or sugar alcohols. I stick to powders because gummies are usually loaded with junk. But if these are sweetened with stevia or erythritol, might be worth it.
I actually make my own creatine gummies at home! Super easy with gelatin and flavored electrolyte powder. That said, if the price is right, store-bought can be a time-saver. Check the label for monohydrate content – you want 5g per serving, not less.
Thanks everyone! I'll check the label for sugar and third-party testing. The brand was 'Sports Nutrition' – never heard of them. Might grab one tub and try it out. If they're bad, at least Costco has a good return policy!
