Creatine is a naturally occurring substance in the body.
It can also be found in certain foods such as raw meat and raw fish. There is a theory that creatine supplements will aid performance by providing more stored energy in the muscles. The results of 29 research studies on creatine supplementation are summarized in this article. One problem noted in examining the completed research was the wide variety of methodologies used in the studies, making it difficult to compare the result across the existing work. Caution in the use of creatine supplements is urged due to the lack of long term effect research and the potential for complications for athletes with preexisting liver or renal problems.
