Creatine Premium (Cr-ystalPure®) Sticks

Daily creatine, now in a stick that fits in your pocket.

Premium Creatine (Cr-ystalPure®) Sticks take creatine monohydrate Cr-ystalPure®, registered trademark of NATURingredients, to a individual format designed for daily intake do not rely on having a jar, a dispenser, or a glass at hand. Each stick provides 3 g of creatine, the reference dose, already measured.The range includes a neutral version, to mix with water or with the usual drink, and three flavors —cherry, lychee, and lemon— in format DIRECT, formulated to be taken directly, without the need for water.

Cr-ystalPure®: high purity monohydrate creatine.

Creatine is one of the supplements with the most scientific support in sports nutrition and muscle health. It is a compound that the body itself synthesizes and participates in the creatine-phosphocreatine system, responsible for quickly regenerate ATP. This mechanism is especially relevant in tissues with high energy demand, such as the skeletal muscle and the brain^1,2.

Cr-ystalPure® is obtained through controlled purification and crystallization processes, aimed at maximizing the proportion of real monohydrate creatine and minimizing the by-products of the synthesis process.

Every batch of Cr-ystalPure® undergoes rigorous analytical controls in accordance with USP ⟨621⟩, reference standard for chromatographic methods, which allow verify its high degree of purity and control the presence of impurities and by-products.

Why purity matters.

During the manufacturing of creatine monohydrate, small amounts of by-products derived from the synthesis or degradation of the molecule can be generated. The most well-known are creatinine and dicyandiamide. They provide no nutritional benefit and, in high amounts or with prolonged consumption, can pose an unnecessary metabolic burden. Its high purity and low level of impurities promote better digestive tolerance., especially relevant in a daily consumption product.

Performance, strength and muscle mass.

Supplementation with creatine monohydrate improves performance in short, repeated high-intensity efforts, and it can favor increases in strength and muscle mass when combined with appropriate training^1-3.

An application that goes beyond sport.

The interest in creatine is not limited to sports performance. In older adults, it has been studied as support for preserve strength, lean mass and physical function, especially in combination with strength training⁴. There is also research on its role in the brain energy metabolism and about possible effects on certain aspects of the cognitive function, especially in situations of higher energy demand or mental fatigue⁵.

DIRECT format: creatine without the need for water.

The cherry, lychee, and lemon versions are formulated to take the content of the stick directly. This makes it easier. maintain consistency —the factor that most influences the results of creatine— in situations where water, a glass or shaker are not available: travel, workdays or workouts away from home.

The flavors DIRECT are made without colorants, with powdered fruit and flavors.

It is recommended to maintain adequate hydration throughout the day.

Product Statements (claims):

• A daily intake of 3 g of creatine improves physical performance in successive series of short high-intensity exercises.
