Lelantos Fibre announced the launch of a patent-pending Creatine Drinking Straw featuring a flavored internal matrix lined with five grams of pre-measured creatine monohydrate. This new white-label and private-label supplement format makes it easier for consumers to receive the numerous benefits of creatine while sipping through a straw, while incorporating technology that tackles concerns related to heat, moisture and conditions that can contribute to the degradation of creatine into creatinine—an undesired by-product.
“Creatine is one of the best-known supplement ingredients, but the user experience has not improved much in years,” said Thomas Shea, President of Lelantos Fibre, Inc. “We built this platform to solve a real usability problem while also giving brand partners a new format they can bring to market quickly."
