CAS 6020-87-7 Creatine monohydrate
Overview
Creatine Monohydrate (β-methylguanidinoacetic acid · H₂O; CAS 6020-87-7; C₄H₉N₃O₂·H₂O, 149.15 g/mol) is a high-purity, food-grade nutrient widely used in sports nutrition powders, capsules/tablets, RTD blends, and clinical/medical-nutrition formulations.As a proven phosphagen replenisher, it elevates intramuscular phosphocreatine to support rapid ATP resynthesis during short-burst, high-intensity efforts—helping improve strength, power, sprint performance, and lean mass when combined with training.
Product Description
CAS 6020-87-7 Creatine monohydrate
Creatine Monohydrate (CAS 6020-87-7): High-purity, food-grade creatine that efficiently replenishes the phosphagen pool for short-burst, high-intensity efforts; supplied as a white, neutral-taste crystalline powder in regular, micronized, or agglomerated forms for fast dispersion and excellent flow/direct-compression tableting;
