Fitness YouTuber Greg Doucette, alongside Dr. Mike Israetel, has released a video accusing Derek of More Plates More Dates of selling creatine gummies that allegedly fail to meet their label claims, a charge that carries added weight given Derek’s own public warnings about the unreliability of creatine gummies.
The controversy centers on third-party testing commissioned by Doucette’s supplement company, HTLT. The tests, conducted on February 13th, 2026, revealed that Derek’s creatine gummies had degraded significantly since Derek’s own internal testing dated December 4th, 2025, just two and a half months earlier.
The numbers raised immediate red flags. Derek’s testing reported 5.82g of creatine per calculated sample weight of 4.6604g. As Doucette pointed out, it is physically impossible for a gummy to contain more creatine than it weighs.
HTLT’s independent test found that by February, each gummy contained approximately 953 milligrams of creatine. With a serving size of four gummies, that works out to roughly 3.8g per serving, compared to the labeled 5.8g. That is a reduction of nearly 35%, well beyond the 20% variance that nutrition industry standards allow.
“Already it’s failed to meet label claim,” Doucette said. “And if you’re buying these in a couple of months from now, the 3.8g is probably going to be 2.8, 1.8, and eventually be next to nothing.”
What makes the accusation particularly pointed is that Derek himself warned Joe Rogan against taking creatine gummies during a podcast appearance, noting that gummies are “less likely to meet label claims.”
Doucette played the clip directly, framing it as evidence that Derek understood the limitations of creatine gummies before launching his own line.
Doucette also questioned Derek’s testing methodology, claiming the methods used by Derek did not follow US Pharmacopeia standards and suggesting the internal testing results were unreliable.
“If you’re trying to scam people, all you want is the stamp of approval,” he said.
Doucette contrasted Derek’s decision with his own, stating that he had previously developed creatine gummies for HTLT but pulled the project after his products failed to maintain adequate creatine levels during testing.
“The only difference is I chose not to sell them. I chose not to scam you,” he said.
As of the video’s release, Derek had not publicly responded to the creatine gummy allegations.
