There has been a lot of talk about the upcoming KRE18 and its innovative, functional line of beverages centered around a reliable dosage of the classic muscle strength, performance, and power ingredient, creatine monohydrate. The interest comes from the fact that creatine is notoriously unstable in solution to the extent that it rapidly breaks down into the waste product creatinine. KRE18 solves this by using Active TR microencapsulated creatine, which we recently dug a bit deeper into.
KRE18 itself has since shared even more details on Active TR Creatine, the patent involved in the innovation, and how it’ll ease concern over its use of creatine in its four different functional beverages. Before we get into the specifics of the patented Active TR Creatine from AnaBio, KRE18 has revealed that it will be testing all of its batches with the reputable laboratory Eurofins. For even stronger transparency and trust, it also plans to make the test results easily accessible to everyone.
For more reading on KRE18’s Active TR Creatine from AnaBio, you’ll want to read up on patent US20160120817A1, which outlines a specialized microencapsulation process using hydrolyzed whey protein to encase active ingredients like creatine monohydrate. The method enhances solubility, protects against degradation, and significantly improves stability in aqueous environments. Through a polymerization process, the active is locked within a protein matrix alongside the likes of BioPerine and glycerol to improve absorption.
A key focus of the patent is improving creatine’s shelf life and functionality in liquid formats, highlighting creatine’s natural instability in water and noting rapid degradation. Comparative testing shows encapsulated creatine remained nearly entirely intact after 28 days in water, while standard creatine lost over 90% within an hour. The system offers significantly greater protection and absorption, and gives plenty of reasons why KRE18 stands by the core creatine feature of its beverages.
