NCT ID NCT07579455
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether creatine gummies raise blood levels as effectively as traditional creatine powder. Sixteen healthy adults will take both forms and have their blood measured. The goal is to see if the gummy form is a good alternative for people who dislike mixing powder.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- creatine monohydrate
- What this could lead to
- If the gummies work as well as powder, they could offer a more convenient way to take creatine.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early study in healthy people, so results may not apply to athletes or those with health conditions. It only looks at short-term absorption, not long-term effects.
