Creatine-d₅ (monohydrate) is the deuterium labeled Creatine monohydrate. Creatine monohydrate, an endogenous amino acid derivative, plays an important role in cellular energy, especially in muscle and brain.

Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs.
