Creatine gummies aren’t automatically “bad.”
But this report highlights something important:

Formulation matters.

A lot.

SuppCo (recently acquired) tested multiple creatine gummies and found some had little to no actual creatine. That doesn’t surprise the formulator in me. Creatine is technically challenging in gummy systems, especially over shelf life.

That’s also why I still believe chews are a much smarter format than gummies for creatine (if you don’t want the best choice which is powders and yes disclaimer, Balterra has a powdered format)

And no — this doesn’t mean every creatine gummy on the market is fake. It means only the most technically capable companies are likely to get it right consistently.

At some point, though, you also have to ask:
Is eating all that sugar worth it just to take creatine?

Even Arnold backs a supplement brand now. The category is growing fast. Consumers need more than hype — they need products built by people who actually understand formulation science.

Your body keeps the score.

Sleep, hydration, movement, food, stress. It all adds up.

Supplements don’t replace those things, but they can support you when life gets busy, your routine isn’t perfect, or you’re trying to build better habits.

That’s the message behind Balterra.

We’re not here to pressure anyone into supplements.

We’re here to help make them clearer, simpler, and easier to understand when you’re ready.

Stay active. Stay balanced. Take care of your body.

What does “doctor formulated” actually mean?

In this clip from Episode 6 of the Balterra Wellness Podcast, I spoke with supplement industry attorney Arturo Reyes about a phrase many people see on supplement labels: “doctor formulated.”

The interesting part?

A claim can be technically true and still leave consumers with the wrong impression.

A PhD may be a doctor.
A physician may be a doctor.
But when most people see “doctor formulated,” they may picture something very specific.

That’s why clarity matters.

At Balterra, we believe supplement claims should help people understand what they’re buying — not make the category feel more confusing.

Would seeing “doctor formulated” make you trust a supplement more?

Think of a probiotic like a family tree.

Genus = the family name
Species = the individual type
Strain = the specific ID

So, when you see something like:

Lactobacillus rhamnosus Lr-32

That is not just a long science word. It is the probiotic’s full identity.

Why does that matter?

Because probiotics are not all the same. A big CFU number on the front of the bottle is helpful, but you should also know who is actually in the capsule.

At Balterra, we believe wellness should be clear and that starts with the label.

Genus. Species. Strain.

Your probiotic should tell you all three.

Stay Balanced. Stay Clear.

What if women’s creatine felt more intentional?

That question helped guide this first release.

Balterra Women’s Creatine combines 5g creatine monohydrate with 300mg shatavari in a formula designed for women’s wellness — including perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.

This first release is intentionally small: only 15 bottles available now.

We’re listening, learning, and building based on real feedback.

Finally! A gold standard study and I found it the day Balterra launches women’s creatine…exciting!

Shatavari is one of those ingredients that deserves a closer look — especially for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.

I’ve been reviewing the literature, and one study stood out: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with 120 women.

That matters because this type of study design helps us move beyond “traditional use” and into a more structured conversation about what the ingredient may actually support.

The conclusion was promising: shatavari may offer support for perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms, including areas tied to comfort, sleep, mood, and overall quality of life.

One study is never the whole story, but it is a meaningful step forward.

Women’s health deserves better research, better education, and better formulation.

That’s the conversation we’re building.
