01Product Description

Creatine Monohydrate is a high-purity, premium-grade micronized raw material engineered for advanced sports nutrition, athletic performance enhancement, and cellular energy formulations. Synthesized under stringent quality standards, our Creatine Monohydrate 200 Mesh offers exceptional solubility, rapid absorption, and superior batch-to-batch consistency, making it completely free from impurities and unreacted byproducts.

Functioning as the critical precursor for intracellular phosphocreatine replenishment, creatine rapidly resynthesizes adenosine triphosphate (ATP) during high-intensity, short-duration anaerobic exercise. Its proven efficacy, excellent stability, and safety profile establish it as the undisputed cornerstone ingredient for modern pre-workout powders, muscle-building matrices, and endurance recovery supplements.

03Product Process and Advantages

Ultra-High Purity & Lot Consistency: Multi-stage crystallization and purification ensure a minimum 99.5% assay with strictly controlled byproducts (such as dicyanamide and creatinine), guaranteeing absolute safety and predictable performance.
Enhanced Bioavailability & Stability: The premium monohydrate crystal form exhibits excellent thermal and moisture stability, simplifying handling during high-speed capsule filling, powder blending, and tablet compression.
Strict Quality & Regulatory Compliance: Manufactured in facilities operating under cGMP, ISO and FSSC22000 quality management systems, complete with comprehensive analytical documentation and global regulatory support.
Cost-Effective & Scalable Supply: Industrial-scale chemical synthesis provides stable large-volume production capacity, delivering premium food-grade quality at highly competitive market pricing.

04Product Functions and Mechanisms

Rapid ATP Resynthesis and Energy Buffer: Creatine is phosphorylated in muscle tissue to form phosphocreatine (PCr). During maximal-intensity exercise, PCr rapidly donates its phosphate group to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to regenerate ATP, serving as the immediate energy reserve for short, explosive movements like sprinting and heavy lifting.
Cellular Volumization and Muscle Protein Synthesis: Creatine uptake into muscle cells draws water intracellularly, creating an optimal osmotic environment (cellular hydration / volumization). This mechanical stretch acts as an anabolic signal that upregulates protein synthesis pathways and glycogen storage.
Enhanced Recovery and Lactic Acid Buffering: By optimizing intracellular energy homeostasis, regular creatine supplementation delays the onset of neuromuscular fatigue, accelerates post-workout recovery between sets, and buffers intramuscular hydrogen ion accumulation.
Cognitive Performance and Neuroprotection: Emerging clinical research highlights the presence of creatine kinases in the brain. Supplementation supports cerebral energy metabolism, mitigating mental fatigue during periods of sleep deprivation or intense cognitive stress.

05Suggested Formulation Combinations

Beta-Alanine: Works synergistically with creatine to buffer muscle pH and support high-intensity endurance-type performance.
Whey Protein Isolate & Carbohydrates: Fast-acting carbohydrates may support glycogen restoration post-workout; the carbohydrate-driven insulin response can aid creatine uptake under certain dietary conditions.
L-Carnitine Tartrate: May support athletic stamina, lipid transport, and contribute to post-exercise metabolic recovery.
Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs): Supply key amino acid building blocks to help maintain lean muscle mass and support tissue repair processes.

06Applications

Sports Nutrition: Pre-workout powders, creatine monohydrate single-ingredient tubs, muscle-building matrices and endurance recovery formulas.
Dietary Supplements: Capsules, tablets, gummies and stick-pack formats for daily creatine loading and maintenance.
Functional Foods & Beverages: Protein shakes, functional fitness waters and energy drinks.
Nutraceutical Research: Healthy-aging, cognitive-energy and muscle-preservation research formulations.

07Packaging & Storage

08Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CAS number, purity and mesh size of your creatine monohydrate?

Creatine Monohydrate is CAS 6020-87-7, assayed at 99.5%–102% on a dry basis, micronized to 200 mesh (≥70% through 200 mesh) with bulk density ≥400 g/L and tapped density ≥550 g/L.

How are creatinine and dicyanamide controlled?

Both are controlled to 50 ppm maximum by USP method, with dihydrotriazine at 0.0005% max and cyanide at 1 ppm max. Every lot ships with a batch COA covering these impurities plus heavy metals.

Is it suitable for gummies, stick packs and high-speed tableting?

Yes. The micronized monohydrate crystal form is thermally and moisture stable, which makes it straightforward to handle in capsule filling, powder blending and tablet compression, and it disperses quickly in beverage and gummy applications.

What is the packaging, MOQ and delivery?

Standard packaging is 25 kg fiber drums, or customized to your requirement. Creatine Monohydrate is held in our Los Angeles, CA warehouse for rapid U.S. delivery — contact idusc@aidubio.com for MOQ, pricing and documentation.
