Found Creatine Gummies on sale at Costco - too good to be true?

Hey everyone, just spotted some creatine gummies at Costco for like half the price I usually see online. They're the 'PowerFlex' brand. Has anyone tried these? Wondering if the lower price means they're cutting corners on quality, or if I just found a major steal. My usual stuff from the supplement shop is way pricier.

As a granola parent, I'm always skeptical of big-box store supplements! Costco might have good deals, but check the ingredient list closely. Look for artificial colors, high fructose corn syrup, or weird preservatives. My kids take gummy vitamins, and I only buy organic, clean-label brands. If it's just creatine monohydrate and natural flavors, maybe it's okay? But price often reflects sourcing quality.

Night shift worker here - I've tried those PowerFlex gummies from Target actually. They're decent for a quick energy boost before my shift. Not as potent as my powder creatine, but way more convenient when I'm rushing. Sale price doesn't always mean bad quality, sometimes it's just overstock. I'd say grab a bottle and see if they work for you. My two cents.

Skeptical mom chiming in! I researched creatine gummies for my teen athlete last month. Lower price can mean lower dosage per serving - check how many mg of creatine are in each gummy vs. your usual brand. Also, some store brands use cheaper fillers that might upset your stomach. Costco's return policy is great though, so you can always return if they seem off. Let us know what you decide!

Thanks all! Checked the label - 2g creatine monohydrate per serving, no artificial sweeteners (uses stevia). Ingredients look clean compared to my usual. Gonna give them a try since Costco has that return policy Vince mentioned. Appreciate the insights!
