Half the creatine gummies in Australia don't contain what the label says.
Ours are tested after they land here, not before they leave a factory overseas. Every batch, both a local lab and an independent cross-check.
This isn't a hypothetical. It made national news.
Creatine gummies became one of the fastest-growing supplement categories in the country. Testing after they hit shelves exposed how many didn't hold up.
The first cracks showed up in the US
A supplement manufacturer ran independent lab testing across a dozen popular gummy brands using HPLC, the standard method for measuring exact compound content. Five failed outright. Some had a fraction of the claimed dose. Others had none.
An Australian trainer paid for his own testing
Sceptical of the claims on shelf, a Sydney based personal trainer sent nine gummy brands to an independent lab. The results were made public. Most fell well short of their label.
A brand sold in Australia pulled its own stock
After independent results returned readings close to zero rather than the 5 grams promised on pack, one brand halted sales entirely. It became one of the most reported supplement stories of the year, with outlets dubbing it "Gummygate".
The gap between what's promised on the label and what independent testing has actually found in some gummies sold here.
The gap isn't always dishonesty. It's a missing step.
Most brands do send a sample to a lab before launch. What rarely happens is checking whether the batch that actually ships months later still matches it.
How most brands test
- One sample, tested once, before launch
- Tested at origin, before the long shipping and storage window
- Report used indefinitely, regardless of batch
- No public link between a report and what's on shelf
How Nupsupp tests
- Every batch, tested after it lands in Australia
- Sample pulled from the same stock your order ships from
- Two independent labs, cross-checked against each other
- Report published with a batch code you can match to your bag

What happens before a batch ships to you
Stock lands in Australia
Bags arrive and enter the same inventory your order is packed from, not a separate pre-launch batch.
A sample is pulled from that stock
No hand-picked sample sent months earlier. The actual product already sitting on the shelf.
Two labs test it independently
ACS Labs measures exact creatine content. Eurofins cross-checks the result and screens for contaminants.
The report goes public
Published against that batch code, so you can check your own bag against the exact result.
Questions people ask before switching
Why don't more brands test after landing?
It costs more and takes longer than testing once before launch. A pre-launch report is cheaper to produce and never expires, even if a later batch turns out different.
What happens if a batch doesn't pass?
It doesn't ship. Testing happens before stock is released to fulfil orders, not after complaints come in.
How do I check my own bag against a report?
Every bag is printed with a batch code on the base. Match it to the batch code on the published report for that run.
Are ACS Labs and Eurofins actually independent?
Yes. Neither lab is owned by or financially tied to Nupsupp. They're paid a flat testing fee regardless of the result.
Is this a one-off test or does it happen every batch?
Every batch. Not a launch sample, not an annual check. If we bring in new stock, it gets tested before it ships.
