Creatine Orotate - Feed Ingredient

Creatine orotate is a compound formed by combining creatine with orotic acid (orotate). This combination is intended to enhance the stability, absorption, or bioavailability of creatine compared to more basic forms like creatine monohydrate. While commonly used in human sports nutrition, its presence in equine feed is less typical and usually limited to performance or specialty supplements.

Creatine plays a role in cellular energy metabolism, particularly in the regeneration of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in muscle tissue. Orotic acid, a precursor in pyrimidine nucleotide synthesis, is sometimes added to creatine supplements based on the theory that it may support muscle or metabolic function.
