Applied Nutrition 80 Creatine Gummies

These used to be great. A consistent texture, same flavour, and always stuck together (annoying, but manageable).

In the last two months, I've received two noticeably different versions of what I assume was the original formula.

First variation - Extremely oily and shiny, with a change of shape from the usual discs (see attached pics). Presumably reformulated to prevent sticking, but it's gone too far. They’re slimy, unpleasant to handle, and leave a residue that makes you want to scrub your hands afterwards. Not remotely convenient if you take them on the go. I've got a full packet sitting unused because frankly, they’re worse than dry scooping creatine powder. 2/5. If needs must.

Second variation (more recent) - Less oily and closer to the original in texture. An improvement, but still not right. There's a lingering oiliness when you bite into them. They don't stick together, which is a plus, but I still preferred the old texture and overall eating experience. This version gets 3/5 from me, but only because it's a step up from the last one.

Other concerns:

- The flavour has clearly changed between these new versions, though I can't compare them directly to the original anymore.

- What's more worrying is that the packaging and ingredients list haven't changed — yet the product clearly has.

If I've received three different textures in three months, that suggests a formula change… so why isn't that reflected on the label?

Attached are near-identical packets side by side, plus images of the different gummy shapes and finishes.

Chemical taste - poor texture - all mangled and stuck together - what a disappointment

Very tasty, almost too tasty as I could actually sit and eat the whole bag

Not the best taste or texture gets powdery in the mouth Massive gummies to have to take 4 but not the worst item ever

They may be all natural but they taste revolting. The texture & flavour is horrid, I will plough through the large bag & make sure I have something to take the taste away straight after.

Bought two of these as Christmas presents. Exactly what they both wanted and they stated they taste great!

Taste like crap, smell like play dough, just stick with flavourless powder

I have been using these are a few months now and can certainly tell the difference, I prefer having these gummies compared to having to use the powder when I’m already using protein powder, eat 4 small gummies and your done. They taste really good to be fair.

I was abit sceptical of these when I bought my first packet of these as they were all stuck together ( although they were easy to pull apart) but the last two packets ive bought i havent had that issue.

I would recommend these to anyone looking to grow muscle and doesnt want to add another powder supplement to their diet, eat four tasty gummies before you work out and your done.
