Overview
Creatine (CAS 57-00-1 ) is a naturally occurring amino acid derivative used across sports nutrition, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic manufacturing. Commercially supplied as the monohydrate form, it functions as an energy-metabolism compound.
In nutritional products, it serves as a bioactive ingredient in topical formulations. In sports and clinical nutrition, it is the active ingredient in performance supplements targeting muscle energy replenishment.
Supplied in powders, capsules, and ready-to-mix formats, it is a staple for athletes. Pharmaceutical manufacturers use it as an intermediate or active compound in formulations addressing neuromuscular conditions.
Consistent purity and documented sourcing are procurement priorities for these industries. In cosmetic formulations, it is incorporated into anti-aging and skin-conditioning products for moisture-retention.
Its buffering properties support skin barrier function in high-end personal care. Food and beverage producers also incorporate it into functional products such as fortified protein bars and recovery drinks.
Creatine is most commonly supplied as a fine white powder, with creatine monohydrate being the dominant commercial form. Food-grade and USP -grade specifications are standard for these applications.
Buyers typically source against established purity benchmarks for nutrition and pharmaceutical use. Micronized grades are also available for improved dispersibility in various finished formulations.
