A new generation of plant-based ingredients
When compared with meat eaters, vegans and vegetarians have lower creatine levels. To support the body’s energy metabolism and to ensure a healthy and active life, dietary creatine intake is essential. People who eat a plant-based diet can easily replenish their creatine stores with creatine- enriched functional foods – this is something Creapure has honed with its new application of plant- based foods.
alternatives are here to stay. When it comes to the composition of these alternatives, the focus is on taste and texture, and until now, on a few select ingredients that those on a pure plant- based diet might be lacking. However, one of the ingredients that completes the nutritional profile of dairy products naturally occurs in animals. That ingredient is creatine.

Due to the growing appeal of the plant-based food market, more and more nutrition companies are looking to get involved. To attract the attention of customers and to increase brand awareness, market players are now faced with the task of improving their plant- based products. In thinking about the specific needs of this target group, companies are able to innovate new products that address well-being, health and encourage a balanced diet. This is where functional ingredients come into play – in particular ones that are essential for health, such as creatine.
A natural energy source
Creatine is a natural substance in the body. It plays a crucial role in the storage and transport of energy in every cell. Proper cell function, muscle, brain, nerve and immune cells all benefit from a dietary creatine supply in addition to the body’s own synthesis of creatine. The individual is able to thrive with sustained higher levels of available energy – both physically and mentally. Creatine is a natural component in meat and fish, but traces can also be found in dairy products. To

support the metabolism of individuals with low or no creatine intake, dietary consumption is essential. Creatine- enriched plant-based products are the easiest way to replenish creatine stores. Creatine monohydrate is the best available source for the body and the most efficient way of enriching foods. It is therefore an additional functional ingredient for a new generation of dairy alternatives.
Creapure: pure monohydrate When selecting creatine monohydrate for food production, the highest quality and purity are crucial factors. Creapure is the gold standard: pure, safe and manufactured in Germany. The production of Creapure is good manufacturing practice (GMP) compliant, follows Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) principles
and is International Featured Standards (IFS) Food certified, a quality standard recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative. The raw materials used for Creapure production are not of animal origin, making Creapure vegetarian and vegan-friendly.
Application tests show that Creapure is a stable ingredient in dairy products and alternatives. Moreover, Creapure can be added to meat substitutes, bars and cereals. The new generation of plant-based products containing Creapure offer vegans and vegetarians the complete nutritional profile of milk, while remaining free from animal products. AlzChem’s ingredient helps improve overall energy levels for an active and healthy life. ●
