A claim-level interpretation of the authorised creatine performance wording, including the 3 g daily intake, adult high-intensity-exercise audience and the boundary to broader strength, energy and endurance promises.

01

CONDITIONS OF USE

Authorised does not mean unconditional

  1. 01

    The food must provide a daily intake of 3 g of creatine.

  2. 02

    Information must tell the consumer that the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3 g of creatine.

  3. 03

    The claim may be used only for foods targeting adults performing high-intensity exercise.

  4. 04

    Keep this claim separate from the authorised creatine claim for adults over 55 engaged in regular resistance training, which has its own audience, training-protocol and presentation conditions.

  5. 05

    Review the complete presentation and Article 10 information; the claim does not establish that the creatine form, product composition or market placement is compliant.

FROM CONDITION TO PRODUCT EVIDENCE

What to collect before using this creatine claim

3 g of creatine daily, matching intake instructions and beneficial-effect information, for adults performing high-intensity exercise.

Product evidence to collect — editorial review aid, not a new rule or a product verdict
CheckEvidence to collectCommon review trapReference
CLAIM CONDITIONDocument the 3 g daily creatine intakeThe creatine quantity delivered by the food and the recommended daily intake in the label instructions.The mass of a blend or source material is not automatically 3 g of creatine; the performance claim does not approve the exact creatine form.Regulation (EU) No 432/2012 ↗
CLAIM CONDITIONCheck the accompanying beneficial-effect informationThe label information that the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3 g of creatine.A serving number in a facts table does not by itself demonstrate that the beneficial-effect information is provided.Regulation (EU) No 432/2012 ↗
CLAIM CONDITIONConfirm the specific target audience and exercise contextProduct positioning and copy showing that it targets adults performing high-intensity exercise, with successive short-term bursts preserved in the claim.Do not borrow the separate over-55 resistance-training claim or broaden this profile to every consumer, endurance or general strength.Regulation (EU) No 432/2012 ↗
PRODUCT REVIEWReview the complete label and consumer-facing copyThe exact label version, serving instructions, Article 10 information and surrounding headline, images and wording in the target language.A source-of calculation or an authorised sentence does not assess the complete presentation. Do not assume every surface has identical repetition obligations.Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 ↗
PRODUCT REVIEWKeep permission to use the claim separate from product eligibilityThe matching register entry and legal act, alongside the exact supplier material/source form and product-category review.General-use claim status is not approval of a source form, finished formulation or market placement.EU Register of nutrition and health claims ↗
Collection is not clearance.

These requests help prepare a review. They do not verify your documents, calculate eligibility or refresh the source-check date above. Product review is wider than the claim’s specific conditions of use.

COMMON MARKETING VARIANTS

Where wording begins to drift

These are Suppvera’s illustrative review examples, not entries copied from the EU Register. A variant is assessed in its full consumer-facing context.

AUTHORISED WORDING
“Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise.”

Exact wording in the current consolidated Article 13 list. Daily intake, beneficial-effect information and target-audience conditions still apply.

EQUIVALENCE REVIEW
“Creatine helps improve performance during repeated bouts of short-term, high-intensity exercise.”

A close paraphrase, but equivalence still depends on consumer meaning, the target language and the complete product presentation.

CONTEXT NEEDED
“Creatine for high-intensity training performance.”

The compressed wording omits successive bursts and short duration. Review whether nearby copy restores or broadens the authorised relationship.

03

RISK EXAMPLES

Language that changes the promise

SPEED + BROADER EFFECT
“Instant energy for every workout.”

Adds immediacy, changes performance to energy and removes the specific exercise pattern and adult audience.

DIFFERENT OUTCOME + AUDIENCE
“Builds muscle strength in everyone.”

Strength in a universal audience is not the performance relationship in this profile and must not borrow the separate claim for adults over 55.

DIFFERENT EXERCISE EFFECT
“Improves endurance performance.”

General endurance is materially different from successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise.

04

POLISH MARKET LAYER

Meaning must survive localisation

Use the current Polish-language wording in the consolidated Union list; do not collapse the repeated-burst, short-duration and high-intensity elements into a generic performance promise.

Keep the 3 g daily intake, beneficial-effect information and adult high-intensity-exercise audience consistent across the Polish label, website, ads and creator briefs.

Do not borrow wording or conditions from the separate authorised claim for adults over 55 engaged in regular resistance training.
