MCB Group's Innovations in Sports Nutrition at SupplySide Global 2025
In December 2025, at the illustrious SupplySide Global event, MCB Group, renowned for its premium nutritional powder ingredients, showcased an impressive lineup of new products aimed at the burgeoning sports nutrition market. They have transitioned into a complete Contract Development & Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) private-label provider, indicating a significant shift in their operational model.
The global sports nutrition industry is projected to reach a staggering $75 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The U.S. holds a substantial share of this market, driven by innovative products that make nutrients such as creatine and plant-based proteins appealing to a broader audience. MCB Group capitalized on these trends, refining its ingredients to cater to modern consumer needs, particularly through convenient delivery forms such as ready-to-drink beverages and easy-to-mix sachets.
At the core of MCB's presentation were their signature innovations including
CreHytine™, an instant creatine monohydrate that utilizes a
Hydrogel Delivery System to enhance solubility and bioavailability. According to Dr. Joseph Chiu, VP of Health Ingredient for MCB, traditional creatine supplements often suffer from poor water solubility and gastrointestinal discomfort. CreHytine™ addresses these issues through advanced engineering techniques, which include:
- - Exceptional Purity: With over 98% pure creatine content, CreHytine™ surpasses typical offerings, maintaining the effectiveness of creatine while resolving formulation challenges.
- - Instant Dissolution: This product disperses in about 8 seconds, catering to consumers who seek quick and efficient supplementation.
- - Ultra-Fine Particle Engineering: With a refined particle size, CreHytine™ enhances mouthfeel and flexibility in formulations, suitable for various applications from powders to functional beverages.
- - pH Stability: The inclusion of alkaline mineral buffering stabilizes the creatine under acidic conditions, improving absorption rates while minimizing digestive issues.
Moreover, MCB’s robust approach doesn’t stop at creatine. They are expanding their offerings with a variety of private-label solutions designed for daily supplementation. These include products and formulations such as:
- - Creatine + Electrolytes: This product combines high-purity creatine with electrolytes to support hydration and recovery, ideal for consumers engaging in intense physical activities.
- - Pre-Workout and Women’s Creatine Formulas: Tailored versions are designed to support different demographics, ensuring inclusivity in the sports nutrition market.
- - Lifestyle Protein Supplements: Incorporating plant-based ingredients, these products appeal to health-conscious individuals seeking quality protein sources. A notable inclusion is Clear Protein Water, a light and refreshing alternative to traditional protein drinks.
As private-label collaborations surge, MCB's capability to rapidly develop new products signals a promising future for brands wishing to enter the sports nutrition realm. The company asserts it can produce and deliver 130+ market-ready formulations annually, a testament to their commitment to innovation and quality.
Through its endeavors at SupplySide Global 2025, MCB Group has solidified its reputation as a trusted partner in the nutrition industry. With a focus on innovative solutions that align with the growing trends toward everyday health, MCB’s offerings are set to redefine how consumers approach sports nutrition in the years to come.
Consumers looking for reliable nutritional support can find MCB’s products integrated into brands they trust, giving them the confidence to achieve their health and fitness goals.
