What is creatine?Updated 3 months ago

Creatine is a naturally occurring compound found primarily in the muscles and brain, where it plays a vital role in energy transport and storage within every cell of the human body. In adults, the body typically contains around 80 to 130 grams of creatine.

Most dietary creatine comes from seafood and red meat, but these sources generally provide far less than the recommended daily intake of 3–5 grams. Note, the body’s liver, pancreas, and kidneys can produce only about 1 gram of creatine per day.
