Beyond the Scoop: A New Era in Creatine Delivery Methods
We’ll cut to the chase and announce that our team has created smooth and delicious formulas for creatine chewable tablets and creatine gummies. What’s even more exciting is that each piece has up to one gram of creatine. This is perfect for daily use or for athletes in their creatine maintenance phase who want something that tastes great and has low or no sugar. These aren’t easy to perfect for several reasons, but because we closely observe trends for our clients, we knew innovative approaches around creatine supplementation would be wise to achieve. Why you ask? Let’s get into it.
The Future of Creatine
The creatine market is expanding fast and catching interest around the world. The global market for creatine supplements is predicted to progress at 13% CAGR over the next decade (1). This natural substance that helps muscles produce energy has been essential to improving athleticism since ancient times. However, it wasn’t until the 20th century that creatine began to gain significant attention in sports performance in the form of supplementation. Over the years, research has consistently demonstrated its efficacy in enhancing strength, power, and muscle mass, making it a staple in the routines of athletes and fitness enthusiasts.
As the market grows and consumer preferences evolve, it’s a no-brainer that creatine delivery must too. While traditional powdered forms of creatine will always be in demand, our team recognized the need for more convenient and enjoyable options. Chewable tablets and gummies offer a novel approach to creatine supplementation, appealing to individuals who may find traditional powders unpalatable. Our clients can now give their customers effortless and enjoyable ways to incorporate creatine into their daily routines.
The Challenges of Innovation
Developing chewable tablets and gummies posed unique challenges. When creating new tablets, for example, the primary hurdle is proper compression. Ingredients cannot fall apart or stick to the tool face. With gummies, stability is an even bigger issue. When it comes to working with creatine, it’s a chalky substance that requires trial and error to ensure all ingredients hold together properly while having a pleasant texture. Balancing these factors requires meticulous formulation and testing to achieve the right combination of effectiveness and mouthfeel.
Additionally, we consider the integrity of creatine in these alternative formats. Creatine can degrade when exposed to certain conditions, such as heat and moisture, potentially diminishing its potency over time. To mitigate this risk, we utilize techniques to enhance the stability. Third-party testing ensures that each serving delivers the full benefits of our formulations.
Meeting Consumer Needs
Our decision to develop creatine chewable tablets and gummies was driven by a commitment to meet consumers' evolving needs and preferences. Convenience plays a crucial role in product selection. By offering creatine in portable formats, we empower your customers to prioritize their health and fitness goals wherever they go. Moreover, taste plays a significant role in the overall enjoyment of supplements (2). With our chewable tablets and gummies, we intertwine our strengths; innovation in dietary supplements so our clients can be first to market and flavor since that’s what keeps your customers coming back for more.
