The average person metabolizes around two grams of creatine per day. This same amount is normally synthesized in the body, which causes the body to maintain a creatine balance. The highest source of creatine is found in animal muscle, such as meats and fish. However, to boost lean body mass and increase athletic performance, creatine would have to be taken in concentrations which cannot be obtained from a whole food diet. For example, a person would have to consume ten pounds of raw steak per day for five days to load their body with creatine.
