A US supplement manufacturer reports creatine monohydrate container prices rising from $85,500 in early 2021 to $270,000 two months later, with spot offers reaching $630,000 per container. Suppliers have cancelled purchase contracts by invoking force majeure, and sucralose prices jumped from $32/kg to $58/kg.
Severe scarcity and force majeure cancellations show supply chain stress spreading across ingredients, which raises procurement risk for feed and nutrition buyers even though creatine is not a core feed commodity.
