Where our rating scores come from
Reading the product labels
Every ingredient and its dose in a blend, make the product what it is. No amount of marketing can change a bad product into a good one in our eyes.
Asking the community
All of the products we list are generally popular, so it's not uncommon for someone we know and trust to have tried out a product that we are listing.
Scanning the web
Websites like Reddit and other social medias can be great tools to find helpful real reviews, but you have to be careful. Often content is sponsored or fake.
Purchasing the product
This is what we love. Testing out new products and blends is fascinating since you never know what you may like the most.

How we checked the creatine
Creatine monohydrate stays stable as a dry powder, so powders and capsules rarely lose their dose. Gummies are another story: creatine slowly breaks down in a moist gummy, and in SuppCo's 2025 tests 4 of 6 best-selling gummies had almost no creatine. That is why proof weighs heavily in every score here: a lab the brand doesn't pay counts most, then an NSF certification, then the brand's own published lab report.
