CreaBev^®

It’s no secret that creatine monohydrate has been a sports nutrition staple for years. An online search will return a wide selection of ready-to-mix powders but are these products providing an adequate amount of creatine? Have shelf stable ready-to-drink beverages and gummies containing creatine that perform well been possible to formulate? The answers are no. Current creatine monohydrates lack stability in water and the ability to withstand high heat processing conditions, causing less creatine to stay intact. Now you can achieve improved ready-to-mix powder ready-to-drink beverage and gummy formulations containing creatine with CreaBev, a soluble and stable creatine monohydrate specially designed for improved performance. CreaBev’s patent-pending encapsulation technology facilitates its enhanced stability.
