Reflex Nutrition Creapure® Creatine Powder 500g — 100 Servings
Reflex Nutrition Creapure® Creatine Powder 500g — 100 Servings
Creapure® is the globally recognised standard for pharmaceutical-grade creatine monohydrate. Manufactured by AlzChem in Bavaria, Germany, it is independently tested for purity and the absence of contaminants — making it the benchmark ingredient that quality-focused brands choose when they want to put only the best into their products. If you've seen "Creapure®" on a label and wondered what it means, it means the creatine inside has been made to a higher and independently verified standard than most creatine on the market.
Reflex Nutrition Creatine Powder (Creapure®) contains 100% Creapure® Creatine Monohydrate — nothing else. Unflavoured, vegan-friendly, and available in a 500g bag (100 servings) from Probiotic.ie with next-day delivery in Ireland.

What is Creatine Monohydrate?
Creatine is a naturally occurring compound found in the body — primarily in muscle tissue — and in small amounts in meat and fish. It plays a role in the rapid regeneration of ATP, the body's immediate energy source used during short, intense efforts: a sprint, a heavy lift, an explosive jump, a hard set.
Because the body's creatine stores are limited, and dietary intake from food is typically low — especially for vegetarians and vegans — supplementing with creatine monohydrate is the established method for maintaining higher muscle creatine levels. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has authorised the following claim for creatine: creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise.
Creatine monohydrate is the most studied form of creatine in sports nutrition. It is not a steroid, a stimulant, or a hormone. It is a naturally occurring compound, already present in your body, that you are simply topping up to a level your diet alone cannot reliably maintain.
What is Creapure® and Why Does It Matter?
Creapure® is a registered trademark owned by AlzChem Trostberg GmbH in Germany. It refers specifically to creatine monohydrate manufactured at AlzChem's facility in Bavaria using a proprietary synthesis process. Every batch is independently tested for purity and for the absence of impurities such as dicyandiamide (DCD) and dihydrotriazine (DHT) — compounds that can appear as by-products in lower-quality creatine manufacturing.
The practical significance: not all creatine monohydrate is the same. A significant proportion of creatine sold in supplement products is manufactured in China to less stringent purity standards and with less transparency around testing. Creapure® exists precisely as a quality signal — a guarantee that the creatine in the product has been made to a defined, independently verified standard.
Creapure® is also recognised as safe by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and is listed on the Informed Sport risk assessment framework. For anyone who wants to know exactly what is in their creatine, Creapure® is the benchmark.
Who Is This For?
Creatine is not just for gym regulars. The EFSA-authorised benefit — performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise — applies to a wide range of activities and people:
- Runners and cyclists doing interval or sprint training
- Team sport players (football, GAA, rugby, basketball)
- Swimmers and rowers during high-intensity sessions
- Anyone lifting weights or doing resistance training
- Recreational gym users looking for a well-evidenced daily supplement
- Vegans and vegetarians, who typically have lower baseline muscle creatine from diet alone
You do not need to be an athlete or a bodybuilder for creatine to be relevant to you. If your training involves any repeated short bursts of effort, creatine monohydrate is one of the most evidence-based dietary supplements available.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Creapure® and how is it different from regular creatine?
Creapure® is a registered trademark for creatine monohydrate manufactured by AlzChem in Germany to pharmaceutical-grade purity standards. It is independently tested for purity and is free from contaminants. Many creatine powders use creatine manufactured elsewhere to less transparent standards. Creapure® is widely regarded as the benchmark for creatine monohydrate quality, which is why quality-focused supplement brands choose it.
What is creatine and what does it do?
Creatine is a naturally occurring compound found in muscle tissue and in foods such as meat and fish. It is involved in the rapid regeneration of ATP — the body's immediate energy source during short, intense effort. Because dietary intake is often limited, supplementing with creatine monohydrate is the established way to maintain higher muscle creatine levels. The EFSA-authorised claim for creatine is that it increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise.
Is creatine only for weightlifters?
No. Creatine is relevant for anyone whose training or activity involves short bursts of high-intensity effort — runners, cyclists, team sports players, swimmers, martial artists, and general gym users. It is also particularly relevant for vegans and vegetarians, whose creatine intake from food is typically lower than omnivores. Creatine is not a steroid or hormone — it is a naturally occurring compound already in your body.
How do I take this product?
Take 3–5g daily. Mix with at least 100ml of liquid and consume immediately. Take daily, including rest days. A loading phase is not required — consistent daily use at 3–5g achieves the same result over a slightly longer period.
Do I need to do a loading phase with creatine?
No. Taking 3–5g daily is sufficient to gradually build and maintain muscle creatine saturation. A loading phase (typically 20g per day for 5–7 days) can accelerate the time to reach saturation, but it is optional. The end result is the same with consistent daily use.
Is this product suitable for vegans?
Yes. Creapure® Creatine Monohydrate is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. It is synthetically produced and contains no animal-derived ingredients. This makes it particularly suitable for those whose dietary creatine intake is low.
Is this product gluten free?
The product contains 100% Creapure® Creatine Monohydrate with no gluten-containing ingredients. However, the manufacturer states it may contain traces of gluten, egg, and/or milk due to the production environment. If you have a diagnosed coeliac condition or a severe allergy, consult your GP or pharmacist before use.
Can I take creatine if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
Consult your GP or pharmacist before taking any food supplement if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Is Creapure® creatine safe?
Creapure® is independently tested for purity and the absence of contaminants. Creatine monohydrate is one of the most extensively researched dietary supplements available and has a well-established safety profile at supplemental doses. As with all food supplements, do not exceed the stated daily dose, and consult your GP or pharmacist if you have any concerns.
What is the difference between Creapure® and creatine monohydrate?
Creapure® is a specific type of creatine monohydrate — the compound is the same, but Creapure® refers to creatine monohydrate manufactured by AlzChem in Germany to a defined purity standard and independently verified. Not all creatine monohydrate on the market is produced to the same standard. Creapure® is the quality-assured version.
How is this product regulated in Ireland?
This product is regulated in Ireland as a food supplement under the European Communities (Food Supplements) Regulations 2003 and the Food Supplements Regulations 2022, enforced by the FSAI (Food Safety Authority of Ireland). It is not a medicine and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
How many servings are in the 500g bag and how long will it last?
The 500g bag provides 100 servings at a 5g serving size — approximately 3 months' supply at a daily maintenance dose of 5g.
How should I store this product?
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keep the bag sealed when not in use. Keep out of reach of children.
