Creatine is a natural compound found in our bodies that helps improve strength and muscle mass. It also plays a role in things like growth in children and brain health.
Our bodies make creatine, and we also get it from protein-rich foods. It helps produce energy at the cellular level, like carbohydrates, and supports muscle growth.
Creatine is popular in sports for increasing performance and muscle mass. It may also benefit elderly individuals and help with brain function.
Research suggests creatine could have positive effects on overall health by protecting cells, strengthening bones, and managing cholesterol levels.
Experts believe creatine supplements are beneficial for most people, especially those who don’t eat meat or fish. It may even be added to certain foods in the future.
Creatine can be taken as a powder, pills, or gummies, with the most common type being creatine monohydrate.
It’s generally safe, but some may experience mild side effects like dehydration or stomach discomfort.
Consult a doctor before starting any supplement regimen.
