Waterless creatine stabilization via lipid-based concentrate

Overview

Liposoma Health has developed an innovative lipid-based concentrate designed to stabilize creatine without the need for water or preservatives. This solution addresses the common challenge of creatine degradation in aqueous environments, particularly under thermal stress. By maintaining creatine in a water-free lipid matrix, this concentrate ensures preservation of creatine integrity, enabling its incorporation into a wide range of beverage formats. This approach offers flexibility in dosing and product design, allowing creatine to be added to beverages post-processing.

Technical specifications

The core of this technology is a proprietary lipid-glycerol matrix that stabilizes creatine by avoiding exposure to water and thermal stress. Key features include:

• Water-free stabilization: Prevents creatine degradation pathways typically seen in aqueous solutions.
• Cold-water dispersibility: Ensures easy integration into various liquid systems by the end-user.
• High loading and stability: Supports high creatine concentrations without the need for preservatives or complex chemical modifications.
• Compatibility with beverage processes: Can be used with standard processes like UHT without altering the base product formulation.

Technology readiness level

This technology is at TRL 5, indicating that it has been validated in relevant environments with a patented platform already extensively developed and validated. The system requires only limited additional optimization for most applications, and Liposoma Health supports scaling through established manufacturing partners.
