“Creatine is an indispensable part of recovery”: Video from Alzchem Group and FC Bayern Basketball on top performance in elite sports with Creapure®
The Alzchem Group, in collaboration with FC Bayern Basketball, has released a new video that provides exciting insights into the extraordinary stresses and recovery strategies of professional players. FC Bayern Basketball physiotherapist Thomas Bäuml explains how players in the German Basketball League and EuroLeague maintain their physical performance at a consistently high level with over 80 games per season. A central theme in the video is the role of Creapure® creatine in recovery.
“When you have to be back on the court in the BBL just two days after a EuroLeague game, you need all the support you can get,” emphasizes Thomas Bäuml.
The clip highlights the importance of recovery, nutrition, and the targeted use of creatine for fast recovery and maintaining muscle strength. Creapure® creatine helps athletes regenerate their muscles after intense training sessions and competitions and increase their performance in the long term.
With its premium brand Creapure®, Alzchem is the official gold partner of German champions FC Bayern Basketball for the current season and supports the players in performing at the highest level.
