Make the benefits of creatine work for you
In recent years, the global market for dietary supplements has experienced a significant boom. More and more people are turning to these products to optimise their health and improve their quality of life. One substance that is gaining widespread attention for its remarkable health benefits is creatine, making it a hot topic among health enthusiasts and professionals, with Alzchem at the forefront.
reatine is a naturally occurring substance in the body that, as creatine phosphate, plays a crucial role in cellular energy metabolism, supporting all energy-related body functions. The body typically contains 80–120g of creatine, with 95% stored in skeletal muscles and the rest in tissues like the brain. Under stress, whether from physical activity, mental strain or illness, the body needs a significant amount of creatine phosphate to provide energy. While the body can recycle creatine, some is lost daily and must be replenished through diet, primarily from meat and fish. The recommended daily dose of 3g of creatine is equivalent to a 700g steak, making supplementation or creatine-enriched foods important, especially for those with low-meat or meat-free diets.

Extending research on creatine In recent years, research has focused on various aspects of creatine and its benefits. Scientists are uncovering its potential benefits in areas such as longevity, cognitive function, elderly nutrition, muscle protection, male fertility and women’s health. To support further research on creatine, Alzchem Group organised the global Creatine Conference 2025. This event brought together 28 experts from 22 universities from all over the world to discuss the diverse applications of creatine in health and disease. Highlights of the conference included Abbie Smith-Ryan’s presentation on creatine and female reproductive health, Darren Candow’s discussion on creatine supplementation in older adults and Professor Sergej Ostojic’s appeal for creatine to be recognised as a nutrient for the general population. The discussions at the Creatine Conference 2025

have paved the way for further research and innovation in this field, promising exciting developments in the years to come.
Quality matters As Dr Rick Kreider from Texas A&M University emphasised, creatine monohydrate remains the most researched and bioavailable form of creatine, with numerous studies confirming its positive health effects. A thorough meta-study has proved its outstanding safety. But not every creatine monohydrate is the same. The German Consumer Association recommends using only products with a Creapure or Creavitalis seal to ensure top quality. Both Creapure and Creavitalis are produced 100% in Germany and marketed worldwide, catering to various supplement manufacturers. They are produced under strict European regulations, resulting in consistent, reliable and unsurpassed quality. Creapure is the gold standard in sports nutrition; Creavitalis is the equivalent for
food and health products. No matter the application, don’t settle for second best.
Driving innovation together With Creavitalis, Alzchem is at the forefront of the creatine boom in health applications. Creavitalis can be easily combined with other nutrients to develop products for various health topics and incorporated into functional foods like high-protein products, plant-based alternatives or powdered products like coffee or cocoa. Alzchem is dedicated to serving these expanding markets and educating consumers about the incredible benefits of creatine. Following the trends of protein, collagen and ashwagandha, creatine is poised to be the next big thing in the health market. Don’t miss out. ●
