The Creatine Gummy Manufacturer That Actually Delivers Creatine
Sun Nutraceuticals manufactures shelf-stable, 2.5g-per-gummy creatine monohydrate gummies for supplement brands, DTC startups, and private-label partners. Our proprietary gelling system protects creatine potency from batch to bottle — so what you label is what your customer gets. Every run ships with a per-batch Certificate of Analysis.
01 · Potency
2.5g Creatine Per Gummy
Among the highest creatine loads per gummy on the US market. Two gummies = a clinical 5g serving, without turning your SKU into a handful of candy.
02 · Stability
Shelf-Stable, No Creatinine Conversion
Most pectin-based gummies cook creatine at temperatures and pH levels that quietly degrade it into creatinine. Our gelling system runs cooler and at neutral pH, keeping creatine intact through production, shipping, and shelf life.
03 · Proof
COA On Every Batch
We provide batch-specific Certificates of Analysis verifying creatine content — the documentation most brands can't get from their current co-packer, and the documentation Amazon, retailers, and regulators are increasingly demanding.
04 · Scale
Quality That Holds Up At Volume
Consistent texture, no stickiness, no melting, no clumping — the three complaints that drag category reviews below 4.1 stars on Amazon. Our process is built to hold quality from pilot batch to purchase order.
Why Most Creatine Gummies Don't Actually Contain Creatine
Walk down the Amazon supplements aisle and you'll find dozens of "creatine gummies" — some claiming 2g, 2.5g, even 5g per gummy. The problem: creatine is a famously fragile molecule. It degrades when exposed to heat, water, and acidic pH. Traditional pectin-based gummies require sustained temperatures north of 220°F during cooking. Creatine can't survive that. It converts to creatinine — a metabolic byproduct with no performance benefit.
That's why so few brands publish a per-batch Certificate of Analysis for creatine content. It's also why the category averages under 4.1 stars on Amazon, with the same three complaints: sticking, melting, and "doesn't feel like it's working."
"Creatine degrades in heat, pH, and water. Most creatine gummy brands use pectin, which requires a temperature hold at 220–240°F. Creatine can't withstand that."
We engineered around all three of those problems — so you can ship a product that lives up to its label.
How Our Creatine Gummies Stay Potent
A Cooler, Neutral-pH Process
Our proprietary gelling system lets us build a firm, stable gummy at dramatically lower cook temperatures and a neutral pH — the two variables that protect creatine from degrading during manufacture. Creatine stays creatine. Through production. Through distribution. Through a year on the shelf.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do most creatine gummies lose potency?
Standard pectin-based gummy manufacturing requires sustained cook temperatures of 220–240°F and slightly acidic pH conditions. Creatine degrades under both — it converts to creatinine, which has no ergogenic benefit. That's the primary reason most creatine gummy SKUs on Amazon and retail shelves can't produce a batch COA verifying their label claim. Our gelling system runs cooler and at a neutral pH to prevent that degradation.
How much creatine is in each gummy?
Our standard formulation delivers 2.5g of creatine monohydrate per gummy — among the highest loads available on the US market. A standard serving is two gummies, which hits the clinical 5g daily dose. Custom loads are available for larger commercial programs.
Do you provide a Certificate of Analysis for creatine content?
Yes. Every batch we produce ships with a batch-specific COA that verifies creatine content. This is increasingly important for Amazon sellers (given tightening enforcement on supplement accuracy) and for retail buyers conducting QA audits.
What flavors are available?
Peach, Strawberry, and Sour Green Apple are our in-library flavors and can be produced without development time. Custom flavor profiles are available on larger programs — let us know what you're going for and we'll walk you through the options.
What's the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
MOQs are right-sized for where your brand is. We serve both emerging DTC brands running their first SKU and established operators doing six-figure runs. We'll size your program on the discovery call.
How long does production take?
Our standard timeline is approximately 8 weeks from finalized artwork to finished goods release — this includes testing. Packaging lead times layer on top: label-on-jar configurations take about a week, stand-up pouches run 4–5 weeks. We'll map the whole timeline on your discovery call.
Do you support private label or fully custom formulation?
Both. We can ship our proven shelf-stable formulation under your label (fastest path to market), or we can run custom formulation work for brands that need something proprietary. We'll recommend the path that fits your budget and launch timeline.
What else do you manufacture?
Beyond creatine gummies, Sun Nutraceuticals manufactures a full range of dosage forms — gummies, liquids, capsules, and powders — across custom supplement, wellness, and nutraceutical categories.
