creatine is a small peptide that the body produces naturally and is found abundantly in muscles. You can also obtain it from food, especially meat products.

Creatine is the building block for phosphocreatine, an energy-carrying molecule. Phosphocreatine serves as an energy reserve that cells use during intense exertion. 95% of phosphocreatine is found in skeletal muscles, where quick energy delivery is most needed. A higher creatine intake leads to higher phosphocreatine levels in muscles.

Your body’s own production and dietary intake provide enough creatine to meet your regular needs.

Creatine is a popular supplement for athletes and is very popular!

After muscles, the brain contains the second-highest concentration of creatine. This has sparked interest in the effects of creatine supplementation on cognitive performance. Research into the effects on cognitive function and mental health is still ongoing.

The most researched and effective form of supplement is creatine monohydrate. Creatine monohydrate is known for its excellent absorption at doses up to 10 grams. With a serving of 3-5 grams, your intestines will absorb 99% of the creatine.

Creapure® creatine monohydrate with AstraGin®

NoordCode Creatine Pro is a fundamental supplement that supports sports training and helps you get more out of your supplement stack and nutrition. It consists of two ingredients: Creapure® creatine monohydrate and the herbal extract AstraGin®.

Creatine monohydrate is the most studied and effective form of creatine, and Creapure® is the purest version available.

The unique herbal extract AstraGin® has been clinically studied for its effects on nutrient absorption.

Creapure® vs generic creatine monohydrate

Creapure® is the purest (99.9%) creatine monohydrate available. Alzchem Trostberg GmbH produces Creapure® in a specialised facility in Germany. The production is carefully controlled from start to finish, with very strict manufacturing and quality standards. Every batch is tested for by-products such as creatinine, dicyandiamide (DCD), and dihydrotriazine (DHT). Thanks to the sarcosinate and cyanamide production method, DCD is just 10 ppm (parts per million), and DHT is undetectable.

Creatine made using a water-based production process

Standard creatine is often made via chemical reactions with hydrochloric acid or sulphuric acid. These acids play a role in the traditional production process of creatine monohydrate. Although this method does not leave acid residues in the final product, these chemicals are part of the production.
In contrast, Creapure® uses a patented process without acids, with water as the base. As a result, Creapure® contains minimal impurities and is considered one of the purest forms on the market.

Creapure® is produced without the use of animal products, making it suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Creapure® is also Halal and Kosher certified.

Generic creatine monohydrate is sourced from China. Due to less rigorous quality control, more by-products are likely present, making it a cheaper option.

About AstraGin®

AstraGin® is a special extract from the roots of Astragalus membranaceus and Panax notoginseng, made by NuLiv Science. Astragalus and Panax notoginseng are herbs traditionally used in Chinese herbal medicine.

AstraGin®has been clinically studied for its effects on nutrient absorption in the intestines.

AstraGin® works best in combination with food and other supplements. For example, AstraGin® helps enhance the absorption of protein powders in your sports supplement stack.

NZVT certified

Additionally, Creapure® is listed on the Cologne List, a German initiative similar to NZVT, which checks every batch for the absence of doping substances.
