Creatine & sports supplements
Pre-workout
A mix taken before training, usually caffeine to feel awake plus citrulline or beta-alanine. What it does depends on the mix – check the caffeine.

Why per serving?
These products don’t share one ingredient amount we could compare by – many are mixes, others list units like FCC. So we compare the price of one serving as the label defines it. A serving can be 1 tablet or 4 capsules and hold more or less – check the label before you buy.

Where products miss quality points
How the 233 products score
- Very good 90+: 37
- Good 75+: 157
- Fair 60+: 11
- Low under 60: 26
- No score, label not readable: 2
26 products contain artificial colors with an EU warning and titanium dioxide – a food authority has banned, restricted or flagged them as a possible health risk. Their score is cut in half, so it’s always in the red range. Each product says why.
- have no seal from an independent testing program
- 81%have no seal from an independent testing program10 of 30 testing points for GMP, 15 for the 49 whose label says “third-party tested”
- contain artificial sweeteners
- 72%contain artificial sweetenerscosts 2 of the 20 additive points
The full 30 testing points need an independent test. Every supplement sold in the US is made under the FDA’s GMP rules – the maker checks its own products, which gives 10 points. A seal from a testing program like NSF, USP or Informed Choice means a lab outside the company checks that what’s inside matches the label. Most brands don’t take part. That doesn’t make a product bad – without a seal, a clean product still gets up to 80.
We find seals on the label and in NSF’s public lists. USP and Informed Choice don’t let us search their lists automatically, so a seal that’s only in their lists can be missing. How the score works

The amount we compare by only makes products comparable – it is not a dosage recommendation. Not medical advice.
How we calculate
Cost per serving = price ÷ servings in the pack, with the serving as the label defines it.
