Creatine

What is Creatine and Why is it Essential* to Supplement?

Creatine is a natural compound found in the body's muscle cells. It serves as a source of energy during high-intensity exercise and helps to replenish adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary source of energy for muscle contraction.

The body produces its own creatine, supplementing with creatine can increase its levels in the muscles, leading to improved athletic performance, increased muscle mass, and enhanced muscle recovery.

Creatine supplementation is particularly beneficial for athletes and bodybuilders engaging in high-intensity training, as it helps to increase muscle strength and power, allowing for more extended and more intense workouts.

Research has also shown that creatine may have neurotherapeutic benefits. Creatine supplementation may improve cognitive function and memory in healthy adults, as well as in individuals with neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease.

In addition to its cognitive benefits, creatine may also have neuroprotective properties, helping to protect the brain from damage caused by oxidative stress and inflammation.

*However, it's important to note that creatine supplementation may not be suitable for everyone, and individuals should consult with their healthcare provider before beginning to take creatine supplements.
