Creatine is no longer just a supplement for bodybuilders and strength athletes. More people are becoming interested in creatine for performance, healthy aging, cognitive health, and simply supporting the body's ability to meet higher energy demands.
As the number of people using creatine grows, it makes sense that the ways we take creatine will grow too.
Traditionally, creatine has meant powder. Add a scoop to water, mix it into a protein shake, or put it in whatever you're already drinking. There's nothing wrong with that approach. Creatine monohydrate powder is effective, inexpensive, and probably isn't going anywhere.
But drinking creatine isn't the only option. You can eat it too.
That's what interested me about Creatine Chews. They're chewable tablets made with the same Creapure Creatine Monohydrate we've used and trusted for years. Instead of mixing another powder into another drink, you can simply chew your creatine and move on with your day.
For me, that's the appeal. I've taken creatine for years, but I don't always want to mix it into liquid and drink it. Sometimes I'd rather eat it. The flavor also makes taking creatine something I actually enjoy rather than just another supplement I need to remember.
The formulation itself is straightforward. Each tablet contains at least 1 gram of Creapure Creatine Monohydrate.
The dextrose serves an important practical purpose. To turn creatine powder into a stable chewable tablet, you need something to help bind the ingredients together during compression. Dextrose helps provide that structure while also contributing to the taste. It isn't there because creatine needs sugar to work; it's there because we're making creatine you can eat.
I don't think this replaces powdered creatine. It simply gives people another way to take it. As creatine reaches more people, I think that's a good thing.
Some people will want to drink their creatine. Some of us would rather eat it.
