Creatine

Creatine is a naturally occurring compound found in the body, mainly in muscles. It is used to help cells produce more energy, especially during high-intensity, short-duration activities like sprinting and weightlifting. By increasing the production of ATP (the body's main source of energy), creatine helps athletes to increase their strength and power, improve their performance, and enhance their recovery time. It is one of the most studied and widely used nutritional supplements and has been shown to have beneficial effects on health, including on brain and muscle health, helping to reduce muscle damage and prevent injury. Additionally, creatine can be used to reduce fatigue and improve endurance, making it beneficial for athletes and active individuals alike.
