Procedure

Applicants have cost-effectively synthesized Creatine Nitrate by combining nitric acid and Creatine, mixing with water, and leaving to crystallize. Further nitratization can take place, yielding Creatine Dinitrate or Creatine Trinitrate. An alternative implementation may comprise using Nitrous Acid (HNO2) instead of Nitric Acid (HNO3), thus yielding Creatine Nitrite. Creatine Nitrite has the same effects as Creatine Nitrate, the only difference being that it requires one less step to yield Nitric Oxide (NO—). Mixed salts may also be used, such as in the non-limiting example of Creatine Nitrate-Orotate.
