Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are now looking into whether class action lawsuits can be filed against the gummy manufacturers.
- How Could a Lawsuit Help?
- If filed and successful, a class action lawsuit could help people get back some of the money they spent on the creatine gummies. It could also force the companies to remove any misleading statements from their product packaging.
- What You Can Do
- If you’re a California, Illinois or New York resident who has bought Beast Bites Creatine Infused Gummies, Astro Labs Creatine Gummies, Njord Creatine Monohydrate Gummies or Create Creatine Monohydrate Gummies within the past three years, fill out the form on this page to help the investigation.
Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are investigating whether customers may have been misled about how much creatine is in the following gummy products:
- Beast Bites Creatine Infused Gummies;
- Njord Creatine Monohydrate Gummies;
- Astro Labs Creatine Gummies; and
- Create Creatine Monohydrate Gummies.
In March 2024, supplement company Now Foods released lab results showing that the creatine content in several popular gummy brands, including those listed above, may fall short of the amounts advertised on their labels.
The attorneys believe that some consumers would not have purchased the gummies at issue (or would not have been willing to pay as much) had they known the items may not provide as much creatine as represented. Now, they’re looking into whether class action lawsuits can be filed on behalf of buyers.

What Do the Creatine Test Results Say?
Creatine is a naturally occurring compound found in animal products such as red meat and seafood. It is also synthesized by the human body to help supply energy to muscles. As a dietary supplement, creatine is popular because it can increase muscle mass and enhance athletic performance, especially during high-intensity, short-duration activities like weightlifting.
Although the labels on Beast Bites and Njord Creatine Gummies claim to provide “5G of creatine per serving,” Now Foods testing found that the supplements contain 0.0087 grams and zero grams of creatine per gummy, respectively.
Similarly, packaging for Create Creatine Gummies states the supplement contains “1.5G creatine monohydrate per gummy,” but test results showed that each gummy had roughly 1.27 grams of creatine. The report also found no creatine per gummy for the Astro Labs product.
Now Foods also tested the gummies for creatinine, a waste product of creatine. Varying levels of creatinine were detected in all four gummies under investigation, suggesting that the creatine originally added to the products degraded during the manufacturing process.
How Could a Lawsuit Help?
Class action lawsuits could help consumers get back some of the money they spent on gummies that may have been improperly labeled and potentially force the manufacturers to change their products’ labels.
