Creapure® Creatine Monohydrate - GymBeam

Creapure® creatine monohydrate is original German creatine in a flavored version. The raw material comes from AlzChem in Trostberg, Bavaria. It is the only manufacturer of Creapure® in the world.

One 4.3 g serving provides 3.4 g of Creapure®, of which 3 g is pure creatine.

The pleasant sweet taste comes from stevia plant sweeteners and nothing else. The product is free from gluten, lactose, GMOs, and allergens, is suitable for vegans, and is regularly tested for heavy metals and microbiological purity.

Creapure® is included on the Kölner Liste®, a list of products regularly tested for banned doping substances by an independent laboratory. It is also certified kosher and halal.

Creapure® is produced by chemical synthesis from sarcosinate and cyanamide. This process is considered the safest way to produce pure creatine monohydrate in the world because it does not generate problematic by-products in the quantities left by other methods.

The entire production line is closed, from receipt of the raw materials through to packaging, eliminating the risk of contamination. Every batch undergoes high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) before release, as well as other analytical tests.

No raw materials of animal or plant origin are used in production. The result is exactly the same compound that the body produces in the liver, kidneys, and pancreas, which is why Creapure® is also suitable for vegans.

Flavored creatine products are commonly sweetened with high-intensity sweeteners. Here, we have taken a different approach.

Sweetness comes solely from steviol glycosides, sweeteners obtained from the leaves of the stevia plant. Apart from these, the ingredients include only citric acid as an acidity regulator, flavoring, and coloring.

You will find no other sweeteners or added substances in the product.

Creatine is one of the most extensively studied supplements, with over 500 scientific studies devoted to it.¹ It is a substance that the body produces in the liver, kidneys, and pancreas and that we also obtain from food, mainly meat and fish. In the muscles, it is stored as phosphocreatine and helps replenish ATP, which provides energy for short, intense exertion.

Phosphocreatine serves as a readily available energy reserve not only for muscles but also for the brain. This is where research has made progress in recent years.

In recent years, studies on creatine have also examined its relationship with cognitive function in adults^2,3 and, for example, mental alertness during sleep deprivation.⁴

One more thing is worth knowing in advance. When taking creatine, body weight may increase by approximately 1 to 2 kg. This is not fat, but water retained inside muscle cells. That is why muscles look fuller when taking creatine.
