Creavitalis® for Food
For Functional Food
Creatine Monohydrate as functional ingredient especially for vegan and vegetarian products.
Creatine as creatine phosphate is part of the energy metabolism in our cells.
The body produces part of the daily creatine requirement. The remaining amount is supplied through food, whereby only foods of animal origin contain creatine, especially fish and meat.
Creavitalis® is creatine monohydrate and the best source of creatine for the body.

Consumers and Sustainability
The individual's nutritional style plays an important role for personal well-being. At the same time also for the general welfare, the environment and animal welfare.
This results in a strong demand for solutions meeting the individual and the sustainable needs.
Solutions for foods that
- reduce the impact on the environment.
- provide all the nutrients for a balanced diet - for all those who want to reduce their meat consumption.
It means finding ways to create “completed” plant-based products with functional ingredients.
Creavitalis® is one of these functional ingredients.
Creavitalis® for vegans and vegetarians
Creatine is needed for a balanced diet. It is not supplied through a plant-based diet as creatine is naturally found only in foods of animal origin: Meat and fish.
- Compared to non-vegetarians, vegans’ and vegetarians’ creatine levels are lower.
- Vegans need to synthesize all creatine and vegetarians most of their daily creatine requirements.
- For the synthesis of creatine, the body needs the amino acids glycine, arginine and methionine.
- Food containing creatine can therefore also help to save arginine, glycine and methionine.
Practical studies give evidence that a supplementation with creatine monohydrate increases creatine levels in vegetarians / vegans.

Creavitalis® is generally recognized as safe (GRAS 000931) for the use in food.
It is a permissible ingredient for foods (Regulation (EC) No 1925 / 2006) that can be advertised with two approved health claims Art. 13(1) and Art. 13(5).
The Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety confirmed on 30 May 2023 that creatine monohydrate is not classified as a "novel food". It therefore does not fall under the Novel Food Regulation and can be used in food without hesitation
