Product Information
Creatine CAS:57-00-1 is a naturally occurring nitrogen-containing organic acid found in human muscle tissue. Its chemical formula is C₄H₉N₃O₂, and its molecular weight is 131.13. The guanidine group (-CN₃H₄) in its molecular structure is the core functional group, giving it excellent energy storage and transfer capabilities. In the body, it combines with phosphate to form phosphocreatine, serving as a "rapid energy reserve" for muscle contraction, quickly providing energy for high-intensity exercise. Creatine is a white crystalline powder at room temperature, odorless, and has a bitter taste. It is easily soluble in water but sparingly soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. It is widely used in sports nutrition supplements, food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, and is a core ingredient with both energy supplementation and physiological regulation functions. In the field of sports nutrition, it is hailed as a "safe and effective muscle growth and performance-enhancing agent."

Uses and Applications
Creatine, with its core physiological activities of "rapid energy replenishment, muscle growth promotion, and accelerated fatigue recovery," has become a key ingredient in the field of sports nutrition. It also has widespread applications in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Currently, the health supplement (sports nutrition) sector is its most important application area, accounting for over 70% of global consumption. With the increasing public awareness of health and the rapid development of the fitness industry, market demand for creatine continues to grow rapidly.
1. Health Supplements Sector: Core Sports Nutrition Supplements (Core Application Area)
Creatine is one of the most popular and well-researched sports nutrition supplements globally, widely used in various sports nutrition and health products. It is suitable for professional athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and manual laborers. Its core value lies in improving athletic performance, promoting muscle growth, and accelerating fatigue recovery.
2. Food Sector: Nutritional Fortifiers and Functional Food Ingredients
As a food nutritional fortifier permitted for use in China (GB 14880-2012), creatine can be used to fortify various foods, supplementing the key substances required for human energy metabolism. It is widely used in sports drinks, energy bars, protein powders, and foods for special medical purposes.
3. Pharmaceutical field: Pharmaceutical raw materials and excipients
Due to its excellent physiological activity and safety, high-purity creatine has become an important raw material in the pharmaceutical field. It can be used in scenarios such as the treatment of muscle diseases, adjunctive treatment of nervous system diseases, and nutritional support for dialysis patients, playing an important role in disease treatment and health management.
4. Cosmetics field: Anti-aging and skin improvement active ingredients
Creatine, as a novel active ingredient in cosmetics, is widely used in various skincare products due to its functions of "energy replenishment, antioxidant properties, and cell repair," making it suitable for anti-aging, firming, and repairing skincare applications.
5. Other Fields
- Pet Food Industry: Used as a nutritional supplement in pet food for dogs (especially working dogs and athletic dogs); provides energy, improves athletic performance and endurance; promotes muscle growth and enhances physical fitness;
- Biochemical Engineering: Used as a component of microbial culture media in processes such as bacterial culture and bio-fermentation; provides energy and nitrogen sources for microbial growth, improving fermentation efficiency;
- Scientific Research: As a commonly used laboratory reagent, it is widely applied in scientific research experiments in fields such as biochemistry, molecular biology, and sports medicine, such as studies on muscle energy metabolism, sports nutrition, and skin cell aging mechanisms.
