2 |3 Introduction

Quality –the resultof experienceAt AlzChem, an international chemicalcompany with more than a century ofexperience, we have positioned ourselvesin the world of specialty chemistry withboth well-established and new products
for global markets. Our company is locatedin Trostberg in Bavaria, Germany.
Many AlzChem products are based on
carbide, which is obtained from coaland lime. The production of creatine,a performance-enhancing supplementthat became an integral part of thesports nutrition world following the1992 Olympics in Barcelona, is also basedon this synthesis.
More than 20 years ago, Creapure® wasintroduced, the first product of the new
AlzChem Performance nutrition division.
Today AlzChem Performance nutrition
includes three product groups – theumbrella brands Creapure®, Alipure®,
and Crenipure®, which are used as raw
materials in supplements and foods,
pharmaceutical products, and cosmetics.

Our top priority is to ensure the highest
product quality. That’s why more than
15 years ago, we commissioned amodern production facility in Trostberg
that is specifically designed to produce
creatine and alpha-lipoic acid according to the highest standards for foods
and medicinal products. Our independent analytical department provides
ongoing quality control and, like ourlaboratory in the area of research andprocess development, has gained extensive expertise related to creatine andalpha-lipoic acid.

4 |5 Product overview

Products by AlzChem
Performance nutrition
All good supplements are characterized by four criteria:
Efficacy (proven in peer-reviewed studies)
Availability (in adequate concentrations at the site of action)
Safety (few, if any, side effects, which can be only noncritical)
Purity (optimum content, no contamination with critical substances)
Only supplements that fulfill these criteria are worth the price. That’s why
the AlzChem Performance nutrition portfolio is limited to products thatoccur naturally in the body and are shown to promote performance.

The AlzChem Performance nutrition division includes the following brands:

Creatine
Creatine occurs naturally in the body.
It plays a key role in transporting andstoring energy in each cell. An adult’s
body contains about 80 - 130 grams ofcreatine. Approximately 1 - 2 % of thatamount is broken down and excreted,and must be replenished each day. Someof it can be synthesized by various organs. Another portion comes from food.
Sufficient amounts of creatine are foundonly in meat and fish – not in vegetables
or dairy products.

The purity of creatine is just as important
to your body as its effectiveness. We
developed a very safe method for generating an extremely pure product andbuilt a separate production facility inGermany specifically for making creatine.
We also manufacture the primary raw
materials for creatine synthesis, which –along with regular internal and external
quality controls, and ongoing precise
analyses – ensures the best possible
quality in each production batch.

Studies have shown that when 3 grams
are taken daily, creatine increases physicalperformance in succesive bursts of shortterm high intensity exercise. A second
approved health claim states that 3 g/dcreatine in combination with resistancetraining can improve muscle strength inadults over age 55.

Creatine monohydrate by AlzChem is
distributed to well-known manufacturersof sports nutrition products all over theworld under the Creapure® brand. Manyof them display the Creapure® logo on
their packaging to show that their products contain a top-quality ingredientfrom a traceable source in Germany.

12 |13 Alipure® - alpha-lipoic acid

OSSAlipure® –a powerfulantioxidant

OHAlpha-lipoic acid
Many chemical processes in the body are
possible only when enzymes are present.
Sometimes coenzymes are needed inaddition. Alpha-lipoic acid is such a coenzyme and plays an important role invarious biochemical processes.
Because of its chemical structure, alphalipoic acid also plays a key role as an antioxidant. Antioxidants are able to renderfree radicals harmless, which can cause
major damage to cells and share some of
the responsibility for aging processes.
It is important that antioxidants get tothe place in the body where they deploy
their impact. Alpha-lipoic acid can easily
be converted to the reduced form dihydrolipoic acid (and the reverse). The firstform is lipo-soluble, while the second iswater-soluble, which allows effectivenessin both watery and fatty environments.
Due to the small molecule size it is able
to pass the blood-brain barrier, so alphalipoic acid can also function in the brain.
It can even penetrate a cell nucleus anddirectly protect genetic material.
Another important task for alpha-lipoic
acid is its ability to regenerate other antioxidants, such as vitamin C or glutathione.

We have developed a sophisticatedmethod to produce the supplement
Alipure®, which is alpha-lipoic acidabsolutely free of solvents. A production
facility that is ideally suited to thisprocess has been built in Trostberg, andevery production batch is subject tostrict quality controls. Unlike the alphalipoic acid that occurs only as theR-enantiomer in the body, our chemical
synthesis produces the racemate. However, the corresponding S-form has noadverse effects and can be included
without hesitation.

14 |15 Alipure® - alpha-lipoic acid

Alipure® is a solvent-free alternative.
A special manufacturing process has beendeveloped to produce alpha-lipoic acidwith no organic solvent being detectablein the final product. This synthesis leads
to the racemate, which is more stable andcost-effective compared to the isolated
enantiomer. 2 % of an anticaking agent(SiO2) are added to improve product properties. Alipure® has dietary supplement
grade and its powerful antioxidant properties are mostly used in blends and functional food, but it is also used in cosmetics
and other technical applications.

Crenipure® –in pharmaceuticalapplications
ONHNCH3NHCreatinine
Creatinine is the natural end product of
the creatine metabolism and does nothave an effective function in the body.
The body excretes creatinine almost
constantly through the kidneys in urine.
Consequently, medical practitioners use
creatinine-concentration measurementsin blood serum or urine as a parameterfor checking kidney function. High
creatinine values point to reduced kidney
function. That’s why creatinine is used indiagnostic kits to determine creatinine
values.

Creatinine has mild skin-brightening
properties, so it is used in cosmetics tobalance skin tone and reduce age spots.
We offer Creatinine under the brandname Crenipure®, which we produce inTrostberg, Germany, from our in-house
generated raw material creatine.
