Creatine

Creatine is a naturally occurring organic compound that plays a key role in the energy supply of muscle and nerve cells. It is synthesized in the body from amino acids and is also found in certain foods, particularly meat and fish. Creatine supplements are commonly used to increase the body's creatine stores.

These supplements are primarily used by athletes and individuals engaged in high-intensity, short-duration activities, such as weightlifting or sprinting. The goal is to enhance athletic performance, increase muscle mass, and improve recovery. It is also being studied for potential therapeutic uses in various medical conditions.
