What purity for food supplement creatine?

≥99.5% HPLC is the accepted EU market standard. Ph. Eur. documentation available on request for pharmaceutical applications.

What are DCD and DHT?

Synthesis impurities from creatine manufacturing. Both should be ≤100 ppm. FDCM CoA includes both as standard.

Yes — request via FDCM.eu or contact@fdcm.eu. Dispatched within 1–3 business days.

200 Mesh vs 80 Mesh

Which Creatine Mesh Grade is Right for Your Product?

FDCM stocks creatine monohydrate in two particle size grades. The choice between them depends on your finished product format, processing equipment and solubility requirements. Both grades carry the same purity specification (≥99.5% HPLC) and full impurity testing — the difference is purely physical.

200 mesh (≤75 µm) is the finer grade and the preferred choice for encapsulation, direct compression tableting and fine powder blends where particle size uniformity matters for flow and dose consistency. Its finer particle profile also improves dispersibility in aqueous systems compared to 80 mesh, though neither grade achieves rapid cold-water dissolution at typical serving concentrations without agitation.

80 mesh (≤180 µm) is the coarser grade, with a more granular texture that many formulators prefer for open-dose (spoon-measure) powders, protein shake blends and bulk powder products where texture is less critical and fast dispersion in agitated liquids is sufficient.

Formulation Guide

Creatine Stacking — Common Formulation Combinations

Creatine monohydrate is one of the most commonly co-formulated supplement ingredients. Here are the main stacking patterns with FDCM stock ingredients.

Peak performance formula

Pre-Workout Stack

Creatine monohydrate is the cornerstone of pre-workout powders. Standard inclusion at 3–5 g per serving alongside caffeine anhydrous (150–200 mg) for acute performance, taurine (1–2 g) for endurance and L-arginine (1–3 g) for nitric oxide support. All available from EU stock.

Creatine monohydrate 200 mesh — 3–5 g/serve
Caffeine anhydrous — 150–200 mg
Taurine — 1–2 g
L-arginine — 1–3 g

Post-workout rebuild

Recovery Formula

Post-workout creatine loading (3–5 g) combined with L-glutamine (5–10 g) for gut and muscle recovery. MSM (1–3 g) supports connective tissue. Ascorbic acid (500 mg–1 g) supports collagen synthesis and immune function. Often combined with whey protein from the FDCM dairy range.

Creatine monohydrate — 3–5 g
L-glutamine — 5–10 g
MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) — 1–3 g
Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) — 0.5–1 g

Long-term connective tissue support

Joint Health Stack

Creatine combined with bovine collagen peptides targets both muscle mass and connective tissue integrity. MSM and ascorbic acid complete the stack. Relevant for active individuals over 40, rehabilitation protocols and high-load athletes.

Creatine monohydrate — 3–5 g/day
Bovine collagen peptides — 5–10 g/day
MSM — 1–2 g/day
Ascorbic acid — 0.5 g/day (collagen cofactor)

Regulatory

EU Compliance for Creatine as a Supplement Ingredient

Legal status and Novel Food

Creatine monohydrate is not classified as a Novel Food under Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 — it has a documented history of use as a food supplement ingredient in the EU prior to May 1997. It is regulated as a food supplement ingredient under Directive 2002/46/EC.

EFSA scientific opinions (2004, 2016) confirm safety at up to 3 g/day for the general population. Doses of 3–5 g/day in sports supplements fall within this established safety profile. No maximum permitted level is set in EU law for creatine in food supplements for adults.

Labelling and claims

Creatine monohydrate has no authorised health claim under Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. Product labelling must comply with Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011. Claims relating to athletic performance should be assessed against EFSA guidance and national competent authority requirements in the target market. FDCM provides documentation for regulatory assessment on request — allergen declaration (allergen-free), non-GMO statement, vegan confirmation, country of origin certificate.

FAQ

Creatine Monohydrate — Technical & Commercial Questions

For food supplement use, ≥99.5% HPLC purity is the accepted standard across the EU market. This is the specification FDCM supplies. For pharmaceutical applications or clinical study material, Ph. Eur. monograph compliance documentation is available on request — contact FDCM directly to discuss requirements.

Dicyandiamide (DCD) and dihydrotriazine (DHT) are process impurities arising from the sarcosine-cyanamide synthesis route used for virtually all commercial creatine. Reputable manufacturers control both to ≤100 ppm. Higher levels — sometimes seen in lower-cost material from undisclosed sources — indicate inadequate purification. FDCM CoA includes both parameters as standard. When evaluating supplier quotes, always request CoA with explicit DCD and DHT values.

Sample requests are handled through FDCM.eu or via contact@fdcm.eu. Samples are typically dispatched within 1–3 business days. A nominal sample fee may apply depending on quantity — please specify your intended application and target volume when requesting.

FCL pricing depends on volume, delivery destination and market conditions. FDCM offers competitive FCL pricing for 20 MT container loads. Please contact contact@fdcm.eu with your target destination and volume to receive a current FCL quote.

Store at <25°C in dry conditions, away from direct light and moisture. Creatine monohydrate is hygroscopic — keep bags sealed until use. Do not store near strong acids or oxidising agents. Shelf life is 36 months from the production date on the CoA when stored correctly. Opened bags should be resealed and used promptly.

No. Creatine monohydrate is produced by chemical synthesis and cannot be labelled as organic or natural under EU regulations. It is vegan, allergen-free and non-GMO. For products targeting 'clean label' positioning, the vegan and non-GMO documentation from FDCM can be cited.
