KA-EX Launches RTD Creatine Beverage With Push-Cap Technology

Functional energy drink uses patented delivery system to preserve creatine potency until consumption

Swiss supplement innovator KA-EX announced Creatine EAA+ Booster, a next-generation functional energy drink for athletes and high performers to support stamina, performance and focus. It’s the first ready-to-drink (RTD) creatine product to solve a long-standing industry problem: creatine dissolved in water degrades within days into an inactive byproduct that delivers no benefit.

According to the company, the RTD market for creatine has been held back by a stability issue: traditional RTD creatine beverages sit on the shelf and lose efficacy over time as the creatine degrades into inactive creatinine. KA-EX's patented VICAP push-cap technology fills this gap in the market for the first time. A full clinical dose of Creapure creatine is stored separately in the cap until the moment of consumption, when its contents are dispensed into the liquid below, ensuring maximum potency. The product is also available as ready-to-mix sachets in 7-pack ($14.99) and 30-pack ($49.99) sizes. RTD bottles retail at $7.99 each.

Swiss-engineered and powered by research-backed ingredients (including creatine, essential amino acids, L-citrulline), KA-EX’s Creatine EAA+ Booster delivers a formulation designed to support power output, endurance and muscle recovery.

Each bottle is sugar-free and contains:

- 3g of Creapure creatine: the gold standard for creatine, 99.9% pure, clinically shown to increase physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise

- 1g of L-Citrulline: supports blood flow and endurance, helping delay fatigue during training

- 3.5g of Essential Amino Acids (EAAs): the full spectrum of all nine essential amino acids to support muscle building and repair before, during, and after training

- 105mg of caffeine: roughly the equivalent of a cup of coffee, supporting alertness and concentration

- 500mg of Betaine, 300mg of Beetroot Extract, and 60mg of Grape Skin Extract: functional plant compounds supporting performance and recovery

- A complete electrolyte complex: sodium (500mg), potassium (370mg), magnesium (57mg), and calcium (115mg) to support normal muscle function throughout training

The launch of Creatine EAA+ Booster builds on the success of KA-EX’s Cortisol Stress Reducer, the brand’s flagship post-workout beverage formulated to reduce elevated cortisol levels following strenuous training and high-performance events. Backed by five years of pharmaceutical research and independent clinical trials, Cortisol Stress Reducer helps lower cortisol levels within 48 hours, supporting improved REM sleep, enhanced daily energy and cognition, and faster recovery between training sessions.
