CON-CRET

Mark Faulkner is passionately committed to leveraging the power of science to help everyone live their best, healthiest, and most active lives. An avid inventor and innovator, he holds 9 patents and has founded several companies rooted in science and dedicated to world-class research. Mark’s goal is to revolutionize global health through innovation in the nutraceutical and biochemistry markets.

Mark co-founded a forensic toxicology lab that specialized in athletic drug testing. He was committed to keeping athletes safe, and the lab’s original staff developed the steroid testing program for the National Football League (NFL). The lab’s work included testing for many Olympic and NCAA athletes.

His passion for helping athletes find safe, effective products to improve their endurance led him to launch Vireo Systems in 2002. Mark and his team of scientists conducted peptide and amino acid research in partnership with leading universities. His goal was to find a safe and effective option for steroids. His team began to focus on creatine but found the products on the market lacking efficacy. The Vireo team started to focus on creatine hydrochloride (C-HCI.) The team synthesized a molecule, a unique form of creatine, and discovered it was a super strong version of creatine. The resulting product proved to be not only safe but outperformed the leading sports nutrition options. Mark trademarked the supplement and called it CON-CRET.

Today, CON-CRET is the #1 absorbed and best-selling, most widely licensed creatine. It is the only form of creatine that delivers superior performance results without adverse side effects, such as digestive distress, often associated with creatine.
