Creatine

Creatine is an organic acid produced by the body. Creatine naturally occurs in vertebrates. Creatine is used to supply energy to muscles.   Creative is synthesized in the liver and the newly synthesized creatine is stored in the brain, heart, and skeletal muscles. But the liver is not the only source of creatine. About half of the creatine found in the human body comes from eating meat. Vegetarians might show lower levels of muscle creatine than non-vegetarians, but the creatine levels can be boosted and sustained by taking supplements. Vegetarians who are also weight trai or strength trai may want to be careful to supplement their diet with creatine.

Because creatine is used to supply muscles with energy, it is often marketed as nature’s muscle booster in a variety of pills, powders, and sports drinks. There are benefits and drawbacks to taking creatine supplements. Dehydration, cramps, and weight gain are a few negative possibilities. Because creatine’s rise in popularity is relatively recent, there are also some questions about the long-term affects of using creative supplements. But there are also studies that support the use of creatine in weight trai. BBC News even reported that researchers have discovered creatine improves memory and brain power. One researcher claimed, “Creatine supplementation gave a significant measurable boost to brain power.”
