Creatine is a naturally occurring compound produced in our bodies.
It is used to help release energy from muscle by aiding in the production and circulation of ATP, the fuel used for quick bursts of energy. Your body produces creatine, and for the average person, there is enough. However, studies have shown that some athletes do benefit from creatine supplements, either by taking a supplement of creatine monohydrate, or by eating more meat. Meat, fish and poultry contain excellent supplies of creatine.
