Learn more about creatine.

Creatine is a natural amino acid derivative used as a sports supplement for weight gain, muscle and strength improvement since the 90s.

It is naturally present in the body. Its contributions come either from endogenous synthesis from three amino acids (glycine, arginine and methionine), or from food (animal meat).

What is its interest?

The benefits of creatine:

➢ Creatine improves physical abilities in case of successive series of exercises very intense of short duration

➢ Daily creatine consumption may potentiate the effect of strength training on muscle strength in adults over 55 years of age.

Preconceived ideas at a glance:

Creatine and doping:

Creatine has been the subject of great debate in the sports world. Indeed, she was accused of doping by the former sports minister Marie-George Buffet after some athletes admitted to having consumed it. It had even been hoped that it would appear on the list of doping products and it was wrongly accused of being banned in France.

These claims were nonetheless shot down by Dr. Jean-Marcel Ferret who recalled the fact that creatine was a natural substance that we consumed every day in our diet. Additionally, it was specified that there are no more valid reasons to oppose creatine supplementation as long as sugary drink supplements are sold. Indeed, both glucose and creatine contribute to increasing glycogen reserves before, during and after exercise. So why would taking creatine be considered a doping gesture while taking glucose not?

Creatine is not currently prohibited in France, and even if certain controls support the fact that they do not appear on the list of authorized food substances, this list dates from 1912 and no national text specifically targets this substance. In addition, creatine is freely available throughout Europe and is logically authorized in France under the texts on the free movement of goods.

Finally, creatine is not a dangerous or carcinogenic substance as the AFSSA had argued. On the contrary, creatine is a major ally for high-level athletes who see their body subjected to continuous stress, which therefore has much greater needs than another person.

Creatine and danger to the kidneys:

Since creatine is widely used by athletes and the elderly, doctors and users have wondered if it does not could not harm kidney health. These questions followed some cases of kidney damage after taking this supplement in bodybuilders. However, these were only isolated cases and the people in question also consumed steroidal anabolic products that were often harmful to the kidneys.

Brazilian researchers then studied the subject to prove that creatine supplements were safe for kidney health. The team of researchers therefore carried out a meta-analysis of 290 studies that used creatine supplementation. Their analysis showed no correlation between creatine consumption and impaired kidney function. However, it is true that blood creatinine levels can be high and increased in people who consume this type of supplement. However, this is a false indicator that in no way reflects kidney damage.

Other results showed that there was no indication of kidney damage following creatine supplementation. Similarly, there was no change in the glomerular filtration rate (which assesses kidney function).

In conclusion, most studies investigating creatine supplementation have shown no negative effects on kidney function related to this supplementation.

➵ Creapure®: let's talk

Creapure® is the brand of pure creatine monohydrate produced by AlzChem Trostberg GmbH in Germany. They guarantee high quality products, like Creapure®, which is produced exclusively in their specially designed production facility in Trostberg.

Creapure® is the most studied form of creatine and proven to be safe and effective. When you buy Creapure® supplements, you can be sure that you are using one of the best and most reliable products on the market.

Creapure® is vegan and exclusively made by chemical synthesis. Raw materials and intermediates are not derived from animal or vegetable products, so there are no traces that may come from animal or vegetable by-products.

➵ Creapure® is subject to strict quality controls

Each batch of Creapure® is tested for purity before leaving the factory. Creapure® is on the Cologne List®. The Cologne List® publishes products whose risk of doping is minimized and which have been tested by a world-renowned laboratory to detect certain doping substances.

There are several ways to make creatine commercially. AlzChem Trostberg GmbH uses a process based on sarcosinate and cyanamide. This method of production is considered the best and safest. In this way, AlzChem Trostberg GmbH minimizes the risk that the creatine produced contains two undesirable by-products: dicyandiamide (DCD) and dihydrotriazine (DHT). Pure creatine should contain no more than a few tens of parts per million (ppm) of DCD and no detectable DHT, which is potentially dangerous. This is the case with Creapure®.

Degradation of creatine during manufacturing or storage can produce creatinine. Levels greater than one percent have been measured in some samples of commercial creatine. In some samples of creatine randomly purchased from the competition, a share greater than one percent was detected. In competing products, creatinine is not dangerous but offers no performance benefit and indicates sloppy manufacturing.

Some commercial creatine tests have reported elevated levels of other contaminants. In addition to those mentioned above, dietary supplements in general sometimes contain steroids, recreational drugs and other prohibited substances, introduced deliberately or accidentally. It is therefore important to pay attention to the Creapure® logo on the packaging, as it assures you that you are buying the purest and best creatine monohydrate.

➵ Many certifications

The production of Creapure® is IFS FOOD certified, a quality standard recognized by the "Global Food Safety Initiative".

In addition, Creapure® is produced in compliance with Jewish and Muslim dietary regulations - and is both Kosher and Halal certified.

Dosage

➵ The recommended dose

Take a dose per day of approximately 3g (i.e. 3 capsules), ideally after training in combination with carbohydrates and proteins.

Creatine absorption can be enhanced by insulin, so consume creatine with carbohydrates, proteins, or substances that affect insulin. It is therefore more effective after training during your meal.

WARNINGS:

Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Food supplements should not be used as substitutes for a varied diet. A varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important. Keep out of reach of children under three years old. Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature.

"Creatine is one of the most consumed and used sports supplements in the world of fitness and sports in general. Many high-level athletes are supplemented with creatine to support their higher needs due to their intense practice. There is a lot of creatine on the market, and like any supplement, not all of them are safe to consume. Indeed, there are creatines whose raw material is produced in China and contain harmful ingredients mainly due to low cost manufacturing processes. Here, Créapure® is one of the quality references in terms of creatine. Indeed, it is guaranteed 100% pure and monohydrate, the best form of assimilation of synthetic creatine. Moreover, this creatine is produced entirely by chemical process which guarantees no traces of animal or plant-based products (perfect for vegans). Although non-essential, creatine can be very useful in terms of supporting muscle mass gain because it promotes the synthesis of intramuscular glycogen and thus avoids catabolism. "
