Trademark ingredient · Creatine monohydrate
The verified truth in creatine.
CreaVerum® is a branded creatine monohydrate — the verified creatine inside other companies’ supplements, with proof a shopper can actually check.
The ingredient-inside model
We don’t sell the tub. We’re the verified creatine inside it.
Supplement and functional-food makers license CreaVerum® as the creatine in their formula and put the Verum Seal on the pack. The shopper gets a name they can check.
Supplement and functional-food makers license CreaVerum as the creatine in their formula — and put the Verum Seal on the pack, with their brand’s own Verum Code.
The finished product carries the seal and the brand’s Verum Code — one code per brand, printed on all its packs. A branded ingredient the shopper recognises.
Anyone enters the code online, picks the lot number from their pack and reads the Certificate of Analysis of the CreaVerum batch inside. Trust, verified.
Proven true
Most creatine asks you to trust it. CreaVerum lets you verify it.
Purity claims are everywhere in creatine, and almost none of them can be checked by the person who pays for them. CreaVerum closes that gap: every batch is released against a controlled specification and tested by an independent laboratory in the EU — and the code on the pack opens those results to anyone who enters it.

What it is
A trademark ingredient, not a commodity.
CreaVerum® is a premium branded creatine monohydrate — micronised to 500 mesh, ultra-pure and verified batch by batch. It is sold business-to-business to supplement and functional-food manufacturers, then carried onto finished packs as a name the shopper can check.
Crea says what it is. Verum — Latin for true — says you can believe it.
The Verum Seal
The mark that carries the proof.
A compact circular seal combining the CreaVerum® wordmark with a molecular motif. Bold typography ensures strong recognition, while the molecule reinforces the ingredient’s scientific foundation. Designed as a distinctive on-pack endorsement for partner products.
The seal always travels with the words “Contains CreaVerum®” and the brand’s own Verum Code — one code per licensed brand, printed on all its packs. Entered on this site with the lot number from the pack, it opens the Certificate of Analysis of the CreaVerum batch inside.

Seal licensing for partnersFour pillars of proof
Every claim, paired with its proof.
We earn belief with specifics, not volume — never a superlative without a number.
Verified purity
Assay ≥99.5% by HPLC, creatinine ≤100 ppm, DCD ≤50 ppm, DHT ≤5 ppm, heavy metals by ICP-MS — every lot independently re-tested in an EU laboratory.
Traceable truth
Every licensed brand has its own Verum Code, and every product lot it releases is linked to the batch results behind it. Trust you can look up.
Proven by science
Built on creatine’s deep evidence base — performance, recovery, cognition and healthy ageing, with EFSA-recognised effects.
Crafted standard
Micronised to 500 mesh for clean solubility and mouthfeel, made by GMP-certified producers with disciplined, repeatable control.
Authorised EU health claims
Two claims for creatine are authorised under Commission Regulation (EU) No 432/2012, as amended. The wording must be reproduced exactly. Responsibility for claims on the finished product rests with the entity placing it on the market.
“Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise.”
Conditions of use: a daily intake of 3 g of creatine.
“Daily creatine consumption can enhance the effect of resistance training on muscle strength in adults over the age of 55.”
Conditions of use: a daily intake of 3 g of creatine, for adults over 55 engaging in regular resistance training.
Purity, explained
≥99.5% is the floor we guarantee — not the result.
Assay is how much of the powder is really creatine. We guarantee at least 99.5 g in every 100 g, in writing. In practice batches usually test close to 100%, and each batch’s actual figure is on its Certificate of Analysis.
Figures like “99.99%” on finished-product labels are marketing shorthand for “very few impurities”, not laboratory results. HPLC measures assay against a reference standard with an uncertainty in the order of tenths of a percent, which is why producer specifications use ranges such as 99.5–102.0%. Nobody can tell 99.9 from 99.99 — for anyone’s creatine. Where quality really shows is in the impurities.
Assay ≥99.5%
The written floor, not the typical result. A batch below it is never released as CreaVerum.
By HPLC
High-performance liquid chromatography separates the sample into its parts and measures each one against a reference standard — the method of the USP monograph for creatine monohydrate.
On the dried basis
Creatine monohydrate carries one water molecule in each crystal — about 12% of its weight. Assay is calculated with that water left out, so it is not counted as an impurity.
Where quality shows: the impurities
Comparable where it counts.
Making creatine can leave tiny traces of unwanted substances. The best-known trademarked creatine on the market publishes limits for three of them, and so do we. On creatinine and dicyandiamide our limits are the same; on the total germ count ours is ten times stricter. Our DHT limit is ≤5 ppm against the benchmark’s ≤3. And every CreaVerum batch is tested by an independent laboratory in the EU, not only declared by the producer.
Ask us for our latest Certificate of Analysis and compare it one-to-one with the certificate you have today.
* The best-known trademarked creatine on the market, per its published specification. ppm = parts per million (1 ppm = 1 mg per kg). cfu = colony-forming units.
| Parameter | CreaVerum® | Market benchmark* |
|---|---|---|
| Creatinine | ≤100 ppm | ≤100 ppm |
| Dicyandiamide (DCD) | ≤50 ppm | ≤50 ppm |
| Dihydrotriazine (DHT) | ≤5 ppm | ≤3 ppm |
| Total aerobic count (TAMC) | ≤100 cfu/g | ≤1 000 cfu/g |
| Testing of every batch | Independent EU laboratory | Producer’s certificate |
Why it matters
Proof people can feel, and proof they can check.
Creatine is one of the most researched supplements in sport — for performance, recovery, cognition and healthy ageing. CreaVerum® makes sure what reaches the shaker is exactly what the label promises.

Questions, answered
What buyers and shoppers ask us.
Straight answers about purity, testing and the Verum Code — for supplement brands choosing an ingredient, and for people choosing a supplement.
For supplement brands and manufacturers
What is CreaVerum?
CreaVerum® is a branded (trademarked) creatine monohydrate ingredient, micronised to 500 mesh, supplied business-to-business to supplement and functional-food manufacturers. Every batch is independently tested in an EU laboratory and released with a Certificate of Analysis. Finished products that use it carry the Verum Seal, the words “Contains CreaVerum®” and the brand’s own Verum Code, which anyone can check on creaverum.com/verify.
Where can a supplement brand source verified, third-party tested creatine monohydrate?
CreaVerum® is made for exactly that: a creatine monohydrate ingredient whose every batch is independently tested in an EU laboratory, with a Certificate of Analysis covering assay, impurities, heavy metals and microbiology. Brands license the Verum Seal for their packs, so their customers can verify the creatine themselves. Samples, the specification sheet and a Certificate of Analysis are available on request at info@creaverum.com.
How pure is CreaVerum creatine monohydrate?
Assay is guaranteed at ≥99.5% by HPLC, on the dried basis — a written floor, not a typical result; each batch’s actual figure is on its Certificate of Analysis. Impurity limits: creatinine ≤100 ppm, dicyandiamide (DCD) ≤50 ppm, dihydrotriazine (DHT) ≤5 ppm, lead ≤1 ppm, cadmium ≤1 ppm, mercury ≤0.1 ppm, arsenic ≤1 ppm (ICP-MS), total aerobic count ≤100 cfu/g, yeasts and moulds ≤100 cfu/g, and Enterobacteriaceae, E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella not detected.
Is every batch of CreaVerum independently tested?
Yes. Every batch is independently tested in an EU laboratory before it is released as CreaVerum, and every batch has a Certificate of Analysis. A batch that does not pass the specification (TDS·CRV·500) is never released as CreaVerum and can never be linked to a partner’s product.
How does CreaVerum compare with other trademarked creatine?
On the impurities that matter, CreaVerum’s published limits are comparable to the best-known trademarked creatine on the market: the same limits for creatinine (≤100 ppm) and dicyandiamide (≤50 ppm), a ten times stricter limit for total aerobic count (≤100 vs ≤1,000 cfu/g), and ≤5 ppm for DHT. The difference is proof: every CreaVerum batch is tested by an independent EU laboratory, and shoppers can look up the results through the Verum Code on the pack.
How does the Verum Code work?
Each licensed brand receives one Verum Code (format VRM · XXXX · XXXX), printed beneath the Verum Seal on all of its packs. Every time the brand releases a new product lot, CreaVerum links that lot to the Certificate of Analysis of the CreaVerum batch supplied for it. Anyone can enter the code on creaverum.com/verify, pick the lot number printed on the pack, and read that exact report.
Which product formats is CreaVerum suitable for?
CreaVerum is micronised to 500 mesh for clean solubility and mouthfeel. It is suited to powders, stick packs, capsules, tablets and functional-food bases. It is supplied in 15 or 20 kg cartons.
Which EU health claims can be used for creatine?
Two claims are authorised under Commission Regulation (EU) No 432/2012, as amended: “Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise” (daily intake of 3 g of creatine), and “Daily creatine consumption can enhance the effect of resistance training on muscle strength in adults over the age of 55” (daily intake of 3 g, for adults over 55 engaging in regular resistance training). The wording must be reproduced exactly; responsibility for claims on the finished product rests with the entity placing it on the market.
How do I request a sample or become a licensed partner?
Use the request form on creaverum.com or email info@creaverum.com. CreaVerum sends the specification, a Certificate of Analysis and a sample, and provides licensed partners with the Verum Seal master artwork and their own Verum Code.
For people who take creatine
How can I check whether my creatine supplement is really pure?
Look for the Verum Seal and the words “Contains CreaVerum®” on the pack. Enter the Verum Code printed beneath the seal on creaverum.com/verify, choose the lot number from your pack, and you will see the independent laboratory results of the creatine inside — assay, impurities, heavy metals and microbiology.
Can I buy CreaVerum directly?
No. CreaVerum is an ingredient, not a consumer product. It reaches shoppers inside supplements made by licensed partner brands, which carry the Verum Seal and a Verum Code on the pack.
My favourite supplement brand doesn’t use CreaVerum. What can I do?
Ask them. Brands listen to what their customers ask for. Send them a message or tag them and point them to creaverum.com — any supplement or functional-food brand can request a sample and license the Verum Seal, so that you can verify the creatine in your next tub yourself.
