In 2002, Mark Faulkner was a co-founder of a forensic toxicology lab testing for Performance Enhancing Drugs.
He routinely heard from athletes they needed something safe, legal, and effective to help them perform optimally and provide strength, endurance and energy. Vireo Systems was formed to study and test amino acid conjugations to fill this need.
In 2003, Vireo made a fortuitous acid catalyst miscalculation on an amino acids batch which resulted in the molecule that would become Creatine HCl, CON-CRĒT and address this need for better cellular energy.
