The universal benefits of creatine
Creatine as a performance booster is well-established in sports nutrition, says German manufacturer Alzchem, but its potential benefi ts in other areas are often overlooked. Thanks to creatine’s central role in the body’s energy metabolism it has a broad range of benefi ts. Research reveals its positive effects throughout the body and mind. Therefore, it’s worth delving deeper into this topic.
What is creatine?
Creatine is a body-own substance which, as phosphocreatine, plays an important role in the cellular energy metabolism and supports all energy-related body functions. While some creatine is recycled, a portion is excreted daily. This loss can be compensated by the body’s production and dietary intake, mainly from meat and fish. As modern diets shift away from animal products, meeting the recommended intake of 3 grams solely from food becomes challenging. Hence, supplementing creatine intake with a dietary supplement may be beneficial.
Quality Matters
Creatine monohydrate is well-researched, known for its stability, bioavailability and positive impact on physical performance. It is widely available as a dietary supplement in the form of powders or capsules. As with all dietary supplements, it’s important to pay attention to the quality of the product. The raw material for all creatine products on the market is sourced from only two countries – China and Germany. Creatine for food and health applications produced in Germany is marketed worldwide under the brand name Creavitalis®, catering to a variety of supplement manufacturers. Creatine produced in Germany is vegan, kosher, halal, and manufactured to the highest quality standards. For a health product, no one should run a risk by taking the second-best source. To ensure you’re consuming a creatine product of the highest purity, it’s advisable to look for the quality seal displayed.

range of benefits. Research is showing its positive effects throughout the whole body and mind such as, cognitive function, elderly nutrition, muscle protection, male fertility and women’s health. It appears that older individuals can benefit from creatine, as it helps combat age-related muscle loss. By promoting muscle protein synthesis and enhancing the efficiency of strength training, creatine contributes to preserving strength and physical function, which is crucial for maintaining independence and mobility. Emerging research also suggests that creatine may play a role in supporting cognitive health by enhancing brain function and potentially
mitigating age-related cognitive decline. Therefore, creatine supplementation holds the promise of maintaining mental sharpness and clarity as we age. Alzchem is conducting and supporting studies and has been granted two EU health claims, and in addition, it has applied for a new claim for cognitive function.
