Creatine-(methyl-d3) Monohydrate (Cat No.:C000844) is a deuterium-labeled form of creatine monohydrate, a naturally occurring compound found in muscle tissue and commonly used as a dietary supplement for athletes and bodybuilders. The “methyl-d3” notation indicates that three hydrogen atoms in the methyl group of creatine are replaced with deuterium, a stable isotope of hydrogen. This labeling enables precise isotope tracing in metabolic and pharmacokinetic studies. Creatine-(methyl-d3) Monohydrate is utilized as an internal standard in research, aiding in the accurate quantification and identification of creatine and its metabolites, furthering our understanding of its physiological effects.
