Why this scored 58/100
Arq8 Creatine Monohydrate Gummies market a 5 g clinical dose of creatine monohydrate in gummy format using proprietary 'FullDissolve Nano-Creatine Monohydrate' technology, plus three unnamed supporting ingredients. Creatine monohydrate is the most evidence-supported ergogenic aid in the supplement category — meta-analyses (Kreider 2017, Antonio 2021) support ~5-15% strength and power improvements, muscle mass gains of 1-2 kg over 8-12 weeks at 3-5 g/day, and emerging cognitive benefits in older adults. 5 g per serving matches the standard maintenance dose. The concerns with this specific SKU: (1) gummy format is a challenging delivery for gram-scale doses — a 5 g creatine dose is a lot of gummy volume and sugar; (2) 'FullDissolve Nano-Creatine' marketing is unverified — creatine monohydrate is already water-soluble enough that 'nano' engineering claims don't add measurable value, and no independent PK study of 'nano' creatine exists; (3) three unnamed supporting ingredients constitute proprietary blend. Creatine's core evidence is strong enough to keep this in Standard tier despite formulation opacity, but 'nano' marketing and hidden supporting ingredients hold it back. Powder creatine monohydrate at 5 g/day is cheaper and more transparent.
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.

Every score is set from the published rubric, audit-logged, and rescored whenever new evidence emerges (published trials, updated labels, third-party testing releases). Every vendor is scored on the same criteria — no pay-to-play. See our editorial-independence disclosure for the full policy, including brands with an editorial relationship to this site.
