Almost all of the world's creatine monohydrate is manufactured in China. Brands selling "European quality" creatine often buy that powder and pack it somewhere in Europe. Packing is real work, but it doesn't make the creatine European: under EU origin rules, filling bags and putting on labels don't change where a product comes from. A European flag on Chinese creatine is misleading about where it comes from, and EU food law forbids it. It still happens, because a familiar flag on a pack makes you think of a small shop in an idyllic Bavarian town instead of a factory in Inner Mongolia.

Knowing which country made your creatine tells you nothing about whether that specific batch is actually clean. It doesn't tell you how pure it is, it doesn't tell you whether it passed the handful of contamination checks a lab runs to catch the stuff that shouldn't be there. Only the batch report does that. The batch report is what a lab publishes after testing the specific batch of powder your bag was filled from. Ours comes from the manufacturer's own lab, and we publish it unedited. That's easier to check than a country flag nobody asked for.

In the interest of not being hypocritical, here's exactly where our batch came from:

JUST CREATINE is manufactured by Inner Mongolia Chengxin Yongan Chemical Co., Ltd. Packed by ADOMA d.o.o. in Slovenia, certified IFS Progress and HACCP, two international food safety standards covering the packing process. Certificate's public, batch number included, mostly because hiding it seemed like more effort than just publishing it. That number is what connects this certificate to the specific batch you'd be buying. Whether you buy from us or not, that's the question worth asking whoever you do buy from.
