Applications
1. Sports Nutrition Formulations
Creatine monohydrate is commonly used in unflavoured and flavoured powders, pre-workout blends, capsules, tablets and other sports nutrition products. The appropriate particle-size grade should be selected according to the formulation, mixing process and desired finished-product characteristics.
2. Active Nutrition Products
Creatine monohydrate is also studied and used in active nutrition and healthy-aging product development. Finished-product positioning, dosage and permitted claims should be assessed according to the formulation, available evidence and regulations of the target market.
3. Research-Led Nutrition Formulations
Creatine is being studied in nutritional applications beyond conventional sports products. Customers developing cognitive or healthy-aging formulations should evaluate the scientific evidence, dosage, regulatory status and permitted claims for their intended market.

Advantages
1.We adopt fully automatic closed-loop reaction and continuous refining crystallization processes, controlling the purity of creatine monohydrate at ≧99% as determined by HPLC analysis. In addition, through multi-stage centrifugation and ultrapure water washing processes, the levels of dicyandiamide (DCD) and creatinine can be controlled at ≤20 ppm and even down to undetectable levels. Product specifications and test methods can be confirmed according to the requirements of the selected grade and target market.
2.We possess advanced airflow micronization production lines, supplying ultrafine powder at 200 Mesh and finer particle sizes with an even particle size distribution.
3.We achieve industrial-scale mass production with a monthly capacity of several hundred tons, which helps us gain economies of scale for superior cost-effectiveness. Most importantly, the whole process doesn’t have animal-derived ingredients, eliminating risks of BSE/TSE.
4.We offer full set of documentation, such as TDS, MSDS and COA.
FAQ
Q1: What is the assay of your creatine monohydrate, and which related impurities are controlled?
Our creatine monohydrate has an assay specification of ≥99.0%. Each batch is tested against the agreed specification, including creatinine, dicyandiamide (DCD), dihydrotriazine (DHT) and other relevant quality parameters.
Actual batch results are reported in the Certificate of Analysis. Buyers can review the specification, test methods and batch COA before placing an order. Additional third-party testing can also be arranged upon request.
Q2: What is the difference between standard and micronized creatine monohydrate?
Standard and micronized creatine monohydrate have the same chemical identity. The main difference is particle size.
We can supply standard and micronized grades, including 80, 200, 400 and 1000 mesh options. A finer creatine particle size may improve dispersion and reduce perceived grittiness in some powder formulations. However, its effects on flow, blending, sedimentation and processing depend on the complete formulation and production conditions.
We recommend confirming the particle-size specification for the selected grade and testing a representative sample in your own formulation before commercial production.
Q3: Is your creatine monohydrate fully vegan? How is zero cross-contamination guaranteed?
A: Yes! Our creatine monohydrate is synthesized from non-animal-derived raw materials. In addition, our factory is only used to produce non-animal-derived raw materials, preventing the risks of BSE and TSE. It is worth noting that our products hold both Kosher and Halal certifications, which guarantees full regulatory compliance for your brand and enables market access to vegan, plant-based and global religious consumer segments.
Q4: What documents are available for buyer qualification?
Depending on the selected grade and manufacturing source, available documents may include the product specification, COA, TDS, SDS, allergen statement, GMO statement, BSE/TSE statement, Halal certificate and Kosher certificate. Document availability should be confirmed before ordering.
