Why this scored 48/100
5% Nutrition Crea-TEN combines 10 different creatine forms — monohydrate, HCl, ethyl ester, Kre-Alkalyn, magnesium chelate, nitrate, MagnaPower, pyruvate, orotate, citrate, and similar variants — in a single blended product. The rationale ('you get every form so you cover every mechanism') is marketing over science: the RCT literature comparing every one of these patented forms head-to-head against plain monohydrate has consistently found no advantage for any of them. Combining 10 forms into one blend spreads the total creatine dose across them, which means the primary evidence-backed form (monohydrate) is likely delivered at a fractional dose — you might get 500 mg of monohydrate in the blend instead of a full 3-5 g. Autofailed on proprietary_blend_hides_dose because the individual creatine-form doses are typically not itemized. Even with disclosure, the fundamental premise (that 10 forms are additively better than one) is not supported by RCTs. Not listable; the honest scientific play is single-ingredient monohydrate at 3-5 g/day.

Evidence & sources
The Vyvata score's Evidence dimension measures the quality of published RCT support for a product's active ingredients at the label dose. Our source hierarchy: double-blind RCTs in MEDLINE-indexed journals > single-blind RCTs > open-label trials > observational studies > mechanism papers > N=1 case studies (anecdotes). Predatory journals and manufacturer-authored studies without independent replication are weighted down.
Product-specific evidence citations for this item are embedded in the analysis text on the "Analysis" tab. For the full framework and evidence hierarchy, see the methodology page.
How to read the Evidence dimension
- 80–100: Multiple double-blind RCTs in indexed journals directly testing this product OR the exact ingredients at the exact dose.
- 60–79: Single double-blind RCT + supporting ingredient literature at the studied dose.
- 40–59: Open-label trials + ingredient literature; no product-specific double-blind evidence.
- 20–39: Ingredient literature only; no product-specific trials or trials in predatory venues.
- 0–19: No credible evidence base or unverifiable claims.
