Global production dominance is real. No source establishes the exact Indian percentage, systematic non-disclosure by brands, or any special risk that justifies the alarm.
Why we say that›
80-90% of India's creatine from China is unverified.
The reel claims most Indian creatine is Chinese and brands hide this on purpose. Global output is over 90% from China but Indian market data is missing. No regulator or study confirms the numbers or deliberate concealment.
Based on only a few sources, so read this as a first look, not the last word.
China produces over 90% of global creatine so most countries rely on it. The reel treats this as a unique India problem.
