CREATINE: Cellular Energy and Performance – The Excellence of SupraCREA™

Creatine: A Key Ally for the Modern Athlete

Creatine is one of the most extensively studied substances in the field of sports nutrition, and its use is widely validated by numerous scientific studies. It occurs naturally in small amounts in foods such as meat and fish, but in sports contexts it is commonly supplemented to support high-intensity efforts, promote strength gains, and enhance recovery capacity. Its main role is to participate in the regeneration of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the primary immediate energy source for muscle cells.

SupraCREA™: Quality and Reliability for Professional Use

EthicSport’s CREATINE stands out thanks to the use of a highly qualified raw material: SupraCREA™, a high-purity creatine monohydrate selected for its analytical and technological characteristics. Each batch undergoes strict quality controls, in full compliance with current regulations, to offer consumers a reliable, safe, and high-performing product.

The strengths of SupraCREA™ include:

• High solubility (finely micronized)

• No unpleasant odor or aftertaste

• Clean formula: only creatine monohydrate, no excipients

• Suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets

• Rigorous traceability and analytical testing on every batch

Benefits Supported by Scientific Literature

The use of creatine is backed by extensive scientific evidence. In particular, the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) has approved the following claims:

• Creatine contributes to the regeneration of ATP, the primary energy source for cells.

• Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise.

• Daily creatine consumption may enhance the effect of resistance training on muscle strength in adults over 55 years of age.

Further scientific publications (Antonio et al., Kreider et al., Wallimann et al., Avgerinos et al.) explore potential applications of creatine beyond sports performance, such as:

• Maintenance of lean body mass in both athletic and non-athletic contexts

• Support in muscle recovery processes

• Functioning of cerebral energy metabolism

(Note: These statements are based on scientific literature and are not approved claims under Regulation (EU) No 432/2012.)

Target Users

EthicSport creatine is designed for a wide range of users:

• Athletes engaged in intense, repeated, short-duration efforts

• Both professional and amateur athletes seeking improved efficiency

• Physically active individuals, including those over 50 (for whom supplementation may help support strength and vitality)

• Individuals following vegetarian or vegan diets with low dietary creatine intake

How to Recognize a High-Quality Creatine

Not all creatine supplements are the same. Key indicators of a high-quality product include:

• Degree of purity (absence of contaminants such as DCD, creatinine, thiourea, heavy metals)

• Rapid solubility and no sedimentation

• No aftertaste or unusual odors

• Compliance with European safety and traceability standards

SupraCREA™ meets all these criteria and represents one of the most reliable solutions on the market for professional supplementation.

Directions and Practical Tips

The generally recommended dose for adults is 3 g per day, as per the EFSA-approved claim. Some protocols allow for temporary intake up to 6 g per day, based on tolerability data available in the literature (e.g., ISSN, 2017).

Useful tips:

• A loading phase is not necessary unless otherwise advised by a professional

• It can be taken at any time of day, including rest days

• It can be dissolved in water or mixed with other supplements like proteins, carbohydrates, or amino acids

Safety and Tolerability

Creatine is one of the safest substances in sports nutrition, as demonstrated by numerous studies. In healthy individuals, it is not associated with significant side effects, even with prolonged use. SupraCREA™, in particular, complies with all regulatory parameters regarding:

• Titrated creatine monohydrate

• DCD, creatinine, thiourea

• Heavy metals

• Microbial load

Conclusions

Creatine is one of the most effective and safest ingredients for improving athletic performance. With the quality of SupraCREA™, EthicSport provides a reliable, technical solution that meets the highest purity standards—designed for supplementation professionals and the most demanding athletes.
