Reviewed form

Creatine monohydrate, micronised monohydrate, creatine malate and creatine alpha-ketoglutarate.

• Increased physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise.

The claim requires a daily intake of 3 g creatine, accompanying consumer information and food intended for adults performing high-intensity exercise. A separate claim exists for resistance training in adults over 55 with its own conditions.

1. 01

   Do not map the monohydrate conclusion to malate, alpha-ketoglutarate or another creatine form.

2. 02

   For a claim, verify 3 g daily intake, target population, accompanying wording and the exact current register entry.

3. 03

   Micronisation did not change the status in the cited consultation, but a materially different process or composition still needs its own comparison.
