Creatine Definition
What Is Creatine?

Creatine (Creatine Monohydrate) phosphate is a high-energy compound in muscle cells which stores energy and provides the energy for short bursts of activity. Creatine is produced by the human body, and the compound also occurs naturally in meat and fish. Consequently, vegetarians tend to have lower creatine stores than meat eaters. One pound of beef contains 2 grams of creatine. In a supplement form, it is an odorless, virtually tasteless, white powder which looks like sugar and is usually preferable mixed with grape juice. Creatine has been tested on athletes involved in short bursts of activity such as weight lifters, sprinters, cyclers, rowers, and swimmers. Studies show that supplementation with Creatine Monohydrate boosts size and muscle strength, speeds recovery, and increases muscle bioenergetics and lean body mass.
