Creatine Monohydrate - The #1 Supplement
Creatine monohydrate is widely recognised as the most researched dietary supplement in the scientific field due to its extensive history of research and application in sports. Since its introduction in the 1990s, it has been the subject of a vast amount of scientific and experimental studies. This long-standing research has allowed for the accumulation of a significant body of evidence, making it a constant focus of interest in the sports world since the publication of the first conclusions.
The consistency of results across different contexts has strengthened its position as a reliable and widely accepted dietary supplement.
Moreover, creatine monohydrate has been studied across a variety of populations, including elite athletes, sedentary individuals, the elderly, and people with a wide range of personal characteristics. This diversity of research has allowed for the evaluation of its impact on different demographic groups and a broad range of situations, expanding the understanding of its safe and effective use. The ability to replicate results across different studies and contexts has been key to consolidating its status as the most scientifically studied product in history.
Finally, the interdisciplinary nature of research on creatine monohydrate has contributed significantly to its extensive body of evidence. Researchers from various disciplines, such as physiology, nutrition, sports science, and other related fields, have investigated the properties of this compound, each contributing unique perspectives and varied methodologies. This multifaceted approach has enabled the exploration of creatine from multiple angles, resulting in a deep and robust understanding of this compound.
Creatine currently holds the highest volume of scientifically rigorous references, receiving positive endorsements from various internationally renowned entities, thanks to the numerous meta-analyses and systematic reviews published that support its use.
Creapure® - More than Just a Patent - Learn Why
100% Creatine Monohydrate. The Most Studied Form
Creatine monohydrate is the most studied form of creatine primarily due to its long-standing presence and availability on the market. Since creatine began to gain popularity, monohydrate was the first form developed and widely commercialised. This version, being the simplest and purest form of creatine, has remained the standard in research due to its stability, efficacy, and accessibility. As early studies showed consistent positive results, researchers continued to use this form in subsequent studies, building an extensive database on its safety and effectiveness.
Additionally, creatine monohydrate has served as a comparative reference in studies evaluating new forms of creatine, such as creatine ethyl ester or creatine HCl. To determine whether these new variants offer any additional benefits, they needed to be compared to the most well-known and studied form, monohydrate. This has led to a disproportionate amount of research focusing on monohydrate, further reinforcing its position as the most scientifically backed form of creatine.
Today, monohydrate is considered the best form of creatine to use, with almost 100% of high-level athletes who use creatine choosing the monohydrate form.
Contaminant-Free Production Guarantees
Creapure® creatine is a patented creatine monohydrate known for its rigorous quality control in the production process, which guarantees the absence of contaminants, such as dihydrotriazine (DHT) and dicyandiamide (DCD). These compounds can form as unwanted by-products during the chemical synthesis of creatine, particularly when manufacturing processes are not strictly controlled.
Creapure®, produced in Germany by AlzChem Trostberg GmbH, uses advanced technology and strict purification protocols to ensure that its creatine is free from these contaminants. This exhaustive control has made Creapure® one of the safest and purest forms of creatine available on the market.
Creapure®'s commitment to quality is also reflected in its purity guarantees, assuring users that its raw material meets the highest safety standards. Creapure® is produced in compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), which involves rigorous monitoring of every stage of the manufacturing process to minimise the risk of impurities.
While this may seem 'normal', not all creatines can guarantee this, and although our creatine monohydrate (not Creapure®) has also been tested and verified as contaminant-free to a level equivalent to Creapure®, not all creatines from other companies can make this assurance.

Creatine is the Ideal Supplement for Athletes
Creatine is one of the most popular and well-researched dietary supplements in sports due to its multiple effects on physical performance. This compound, found naturally in small amounts in certain foods and the human body, plays a biological role in enhancing overall performance during high-intensity exercises, such as weightlifting or sprints.
The most notable effects of creatine include:
- Creatine improves physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise.1
- Daily creatine intake can enhance the effect of resistance training on muscle strength in adults over 55.2
Listed on the Cologne List - What Does it Mean?
The 'Cologne List' is an initiative created in Germany that consists of a database of sports supplements that have been tested and certified to be free from substances banned by major anti-doping organisations, such as the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). This list was created to offer athletes and consumers a reliable source of information about products that do not pose a risk to their athletic careers due to potential contamination with illegal substances.
Products listed on the 'Cologne List' have undergone rigorous testing in accredited laboratories, ensuring their safety and compliance with international anti-doping standards.
All HSN products have been manufactured with the highest guarantees of food safety and are completely free from any contamination or presence of prohibited substances for use in regulated sports competitions. However, we appreciate that raw material manufacturers make extra efforts with their own quality controls to provide additional safety and confidence, especially when a substance like creatine monohydrate is so widely consumed by athletes; without solely relying on HSN's Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and HACCP certifications to ensure this confidence.
Alzchem Collaborates with Creatine Research
Creapure® is closely linked to scientific research on creatine, particularly through the 'Creatine for Health' organisation.
The Creatine For Health website is an educational initiative aimed at raising awareness about the potential benefits of creatine use. It is backed by international researchers and provides evidence-based information on the use of creatine throughout life. Additionally, it organises conferences and provides resources such as books, articles, and videos related to the topic.
AlzChem's non-sponsored collaboration with Creatine for Health is valuable for its Creapure® brand because it reinforces its positioning as a market leader in creatine, associating with prestigious scientific and educational initiatives. This alliance highlights Creapure®'s commitment to good practices by supporting research and disseminating reliable information on the effects of creatine.
Frequently Asked Questions About Creatine Monohydrate
Is Creapure® superior to other creatine brands?
It depends on the creatine you're comparing it with.
If you're comparing it with HSN's Creatine Monohydrate, it is not, as both products are Creatine Monohydrate, with the highest purity, and guarantees of absence of degradation and contaminants that are typical of the chemical synthesis process.
If you're comparing it to creatine from a brand without the proper quality certifications, Creapure® is always considered a better option.
Does Creapure® dissolve in liquid?
No.
Creatine is not soluble in liquid, but thanks to its controlled particle size, it suspends easily and stays suspended for a long time without settling, making it easy to use. However, don't expect it to dissolve completely in water, as this is not possible with authentic creatine. The particles will always be visible.
Can I add Creapure® to my protein shake? How about my pre-workout?
Yes, absolutely, to both.
Creatine can be combined with any other supplement without affecting its effectiveness. Using it in the same protein shake is a common practice.
Is it better to take it in capsules or powder?
As long as the dosage is the same, it doesn't matter—use whichever format you prefer.
The properties of the substance do not change depending on the format in which it is presented, so you can use it in capsules if you prefer.
