What is Creatine?

Creatine is a naturally occurring substance that turns into creatine phosphate when introduced into the body. Creatine is a substance that is found naturally in muscle cells and taking creatine as a supplement is very popular among athletes and bodybuilders.

Chemically speaking, it shares many similarities with amino acids. Your body can produce it from the amino acids glycine and arginine. The body produces some of the creatine it uses. It also comes from protein-rich foods.
