1. A composition for human consumption, comprising solid creatine suspended in an edible viscous liquid or semi-liquid supporting matrix. 2. A composition according to claim 1, is which the composition has a pH in the range 2.5 to 6.5. 3. A composition according to claim 1 or 2, in which the composition has a pH in the range 3.0 to 6. 4. A composition according to any one of the preceding claims, comprising one or more additional components selected from the group consisting of: electrolytes, vitamins, lipids, carbohydrates, amino acids, trace elements, colorings, flavours, artificial sweeteners, natural health improving substances, antioxidants, stabilizers, preservatives and buffers. 5. A composition according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the edible supporting matrix comprises one or more of the following: honey, syrup, molasses, treacle and concentrated Aloe Vera gel, plant-derived or algal-derived polysaccharide, gum, thickening agents, end gelatinous substances, galactomannans, dextrans, guar gum, locust bean gum, xanthan gum, carrageen, carrageenan, traganth gum, acacia gum, tara gum, gellan, gelatine, alginate, agar or pectin. 6. A composition according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein creatine is present in the form of creatine monohydrate or creatine phosphate. 7. A composition according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein a normal serving thereof provides a physiologically effective dose of creatin. 8. A composition according to any one of the preceding claims wherein a normal serving thereof provides 1-10 gms creatine. 9. A method of preparing a creatine containing composition for human consumption in which the creatine is substantially stable, the method comprising the steps of: providing creatine in solid form; and mixing the solid creatine with an edible viscous liquid or semi-liquid supporting matrix so as to distribute the solid creatine within the supporting matrix. 10. A method of storing creatine in stable form, the method composing the steps of: providing creatine in solid form; mixing the solid creatine with an edible viscous liquid or semi-liquid supporting matrix so as to suspend the creatine therein; and storing the suspended creatine at ambient temperature or below. |
