The Best Creatine Supplement in Malaysia

What is Creatine?

Creatine is an amino acid derivative that is synthesized in the body from 3 amino acids: arginine, glycine, and methionine. While it can be synthesized in the body, creatine is also be derived from our diet in foods like red meat and fish. Creatine is crucial for energy metabolism. It is converted into phosphocreatine in the muscles during rest by the donation of a phosphate by Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), forming Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP). 

During exercise, the phosphocreatine donates the phosphate back to ADP forming ATP which is used to generate energy for the cells to function. 

The most common form of creatine taken for supplementation is Creatine Monohydrate. The safety and effectiveness of creatine monohydrate has been proven by numerous studies over the years. It is formed by bonding a creatine molecule to water. 

Other forms of creatine used for supplementation include:

1. Creatine Hydrochloride (Creatine HCl)

It is formed by bonding a creatine molecule with hydrochloric acid. It provides approximately 78% of pure creatine by molecular weight. 

Advantages:

• Highly soluble in water 
• Has a high bioavailability

Disadvantages:

• Its effectiveness has not been extensively studied
• Some studies indicate that there is no significant difference between the effectiveness of Creatine Monohydrate and Creatine HCL

2. Creatine Ethyl Ester (CEE)

CEE is a modified, fat-soluble form of creatine designed to improve absorption and eliminate the loading phase. It is formed by bonding a creatine molecule to an ethyl ester group through a process called esterification. The addition of the ester group makes the molecule more lipophilic compared to the relatively polar, water-soluble nature of creatine monohydrate. Since cell membranes are made of a lipid bilayer, the increased lipophilicity is designed to allow CEE to pass through cell membranes more easily.

Advantages: 

• Theoretical better absorption

Disadvantages:

• Chemically unstable
• Converts rapidly to creatinine
• Often performs worse than creatine monohydrate

3. Creatine Nitrate (CrN)

Creatine nitrate (CrN) is a highly soluble form of creatine bonded with nitrate. The nitrate is meant to convert to nitric oxide (NO) which improves blood flow, enhances oxygen delivery and reduces muscle fatigue. 

Advantages:

• Supports strength and power
• Improve muscle pump

Disadvantages

• Limited research done on its effectiveness

4. Magnesium Creatine Chelate (Mg-Cre)

Magnesium Creatine Chelate is a form of creatine bonded to Magnesium. Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in ATP activation, protein synthesis and muscle function. Combining creatine with magnesium is meant to improve its stability, bioavailability, and muscle uptake, potentially offering better results in strength, power, and muscle mass than creatine alone. 

Advantages:

• Increases strength and power
• Enhances cellular hydration leading to increased muscle mass
• Aids ATP efficiency
• More efficient delivery and enhanced bioavailability

Disadvantages:

• No strong evidence suggesting its superiority for muscle growth and strength
• Some studies suggest it works in a similar way to creatine monohydrate (no clear advantage)
• More expensive

What are the benefits of creatine monohydrate over other forms of creatine?

• It’s the most researched and is scientifically proven to be safe and effective
• It has a high bioavailability
• It effectively saturates muscle creatine levels
• It provides approximately 90% pure creatine by molecular weight
• It has been confirmed to improve strength, power and performance
• It’s a more affordable form of creatine
• It’s safe with minimal and rare side effects
• It has simple and effective dosing instructions that are easy to follow

In order to enhance its solubility and digestion, creatine monohydrate may be micronized. Micronized creatine monohydrate is regular creatine monohydrate that has been processed into smaller particles.

Advantages of micronized creatine

• Same strength and muscle-building benefits as standard creatine monohydrate
• Dissolves more easily
• Smoother texture in drinks
• Potentially less stomach discomfort for some people

What are the uses of Creatine?

• Better athletic performance and power
• Increased cellular energy generation
• Reduced fatigue
• Enhanced recovery
• Increased strength
• Improved muscle growth
• Supports muscle function
• Shows promise for improving blood sugar management in Type 2 Diabetes (T2D)
• Better brain health and cognitive function

Suppzlab 100% micronized Creatine Monohydrate - Creapure®

What is Creapure®?

Creapure® is a branded form of creatine monohydrate manufactured in Germany by AlzChem Group. It is high-purity creatine monohydrate produced under strict pharmaceutical-grade quality standards. As it is a German product it is manufactured following strict EU quality controls. During its chemical synthesis, Creapure® creatine is lab-tested for by-products like dicyandiamide (DCD), dihydrotriazine (DHT) and Creatinine to ensure the high purity standards it advertises are met. At high levels DHT and DCD have been linked to organ stress like Liver and Kidney stress, so it is important that these by-products are kept to low and untraceable levels.

The chemical synthesis of Creapure is done using sarcosinate and cyanamide that are manufactured in-house under GMP as raw materials.

When creatine is chemically synthesized from sarcosinate and cyanamide, the main reaction is straightforward, however, under certain conditions, side reactions can occur that produce DCD (dicyandiamide) and DHT (dihydrotriazine). 

The correct reaction to produce creatine requires controlled pH and moderate temperature. DCD as a side product may be produced if the cyanamide reacts with itself instead of the sarcosinate, which can happen if:

• Excess cyanamide is present
• Sarcosinate is insufficient
• Temperature is too high
• Reaction time is too long
• pH is too alkaline

DHT impurities are cyclic condensation products derived from cyanamide or DCD under certain conditions. Further heating of the DCD polymers can result in cyclic DHT-type structures. This can happen if the:

• Reaction temperature is too high
• pH is not well controlled
• Raw materials are impure
• Reaction mixture is left too long before purification

Creapure® manufacturing procedures control:

• Reaction temperature
• pH levels
• Cyanamide ratio
• Reaction time
• Purification and crystallization steps

These controls prevent the DHT and DCD from accumulating to high levels in the creatine produced, making Creapure® creatine a cleaner, safer and purer creatine supplement.

Creapure® vs other creatine; What’s the difference?

How Creapure® ensures purity

1. Sarcosinate and cyanamide are both manufactured on-site and filtered before they go into the reaction vessel
2. The entire process is a closed production line that is completely sealed off from the environment to avoid contamination
3. Pressure filtration to separate solids from liquids
4. The creatine produced is suspended in water several times
