The label discloses 2.5 g of creatine per serving — below the 3 g/day dose used in clinical trials. You would need more than one serving to reach the studied amount.
How to read this

Clinically dosed — the label discloses at least as much creatine per serving as clinical trials used. The black tick on the bar marks the trial dose.

Under clinical dose — the label is honest about the amount, but it's less than the studies used, so the studied effect may not apply.

Dose not disclosed — the label doesn't let you verify the amount at all (usually a "proprietary blend" that only prints the mixture's total weight).
