Essential creatine monohydrate
Creatine monohydrate should not be missing in any plant-based products and Creapure by Alzchem provides the only available source outside of China.
he demand for plant-based products has increased significantly in the past few years – and continues at pace. While selecting ingredients for food, purity and quality are a prerequisite. This also applies to creatine monohydrate. The only creatine monohydrate product manufactured outside of China is Creapure, and its key raw materials are manufactured in Germany. Creapure therefore consistently ensures high purity and safety and is particularly suitable for food fortification. It is IFS FOOD certified and is free of any animal-based products and raw materials, being friendly to vegetarians and vegans alike.

Fortifying plant-based foods with creatine monohydrate can have an array of health benefits.
Living on mainly a plant-based diet is a conscious decision – for the environment, for sustainability, for animal welfare and ultimately for your own body and health. A balanced diet and a good supply of nutrients are important for a healthy body. The focus is already on vitamins and minerals such as vitamin B12 or iron, all of which are often taken as dietary supplements. Besides, there are further vital substances that are found exclusively or mainly in animal foods.
The story behind the substance Creatine is a natural substance in the human body that plays a central role in energy metabolism within different cells whether in muscles, brain and nerve cells and also in immune and bone cells. Creatine is essential for energy transport and storage in every cell. This is how creatine ensures high physical performance. Studies show that creatine is important for organ function, brain function (mental performance) and general health. Besides, it has been found out that
“Creatine monohydrate is a white powder, which, as functional ingredient, can be incorporated into many plant-based foods such as meat substitutes, dairy alternatives, dairy products, bars and cereals.”
They are often unknown, but these vital substances are also very important for the human metabolism and creatine is one of them.
So what exactly is creatine and why is it beneficial for vegans and vegetarians? What are the benefits of fortifying meat and dairy substitutes, or bars and cereals with creatine? The answer is simple.

creatine supplementation is necessary to support the body under certain conditions such as stress, high physical exertion or limited dietary intake.
Creatine cuisine
The human body naturally produces about half of the daily creatine requirement. The remaining amount is supplied through
food. Only foods of animal origin contain creatine, such as fish, meat and dairy products in traces. Plant-based foods do not contain any creatine.
In plant-based diets, creatine does not naturally occur. So, it is important to get creatine from dietary supplements or creatine-enriched products. An adequate creatine supply contributes to the optimisation or maintenance of physical and mental performance.
The need to enrich
Creatine monohydrate of high purity, such as Creapure, is the best available source of creatine for the body. It is a widely used dietary supplement that has been well-studied for its effects on physical and mental performance and health benefits. Creatine monohydrate is a white powder, which, as a functional ingredient, can be incorporated into many plant-based foods such as meat substitutes, dairy alternatives, dairy products, bars and cereals. Fortifying plant-based alternative products with creatine monohydrate offers two benefits: First, the nutrient profile is completed and the gap with meat products is closed, essentially bringing plant-based food in line with animal products in terms of composition. Second, the consumer is supplied with important creatine in a sustainable, plant-based diet without consuming animal products or ingesting dietary supplements. Simple and natural. This makes Creapure an important ingredient for new plant-based products that offer vegans and vegetarians a complete nutritional profile like those consuming animal products. This makes Creapure essential for achieving high energy levels, for an active and healthy life and for well-being. ●
