Creatine is a naturally occurring organic acid that helps supply energy to cells, particularly muscle cells. It is commonly used as a dietary supplement for athletes and bodybuilders to improve physical performance, increase strength, and increase muscle mass.
The health benefits of creatine supplementation include improved exercise performance, increased strength, and improved muscle recovery after intense physical activity. It has also been shown to have potential cognitive benefits, such as improving memory and mental function.
The best sources of creatine are red meat, chicken and fish, but it can also be obtained through dietary supplementation in the form of creatine monohydrate powder, capsules, or bars.
