Creatine

Creatine is a naturally occurring nitrogenous organic acid found in the body

especially in the muscles and made up of three amino acids Glycine, methionine and

arginine. It helps in supplying energy to all cells of the body by producing ATP.

Creatine Monohydrate supplement increases motor functions and cognition in

the absence of oxygen

Creatine (Cr) is an organic molecule that is produced endogenously in the body

and is also obtained from meat and fish and to a lesser extent from dairy products. 95%

of the Cr in our body is present in skeletal muscle, substantial amounts in cardiac

muscle, spermatozoa, and photoreceptors of the retina, and intermediate levels in the

brain. Apart from this, Cr (in the form of Creatine Monohydrate or CrM) is also

consumed by athletes to augment their performance during rigorous training and to

provide them extra strength and endurance. Recently, it has been proved that oral CrM

supplementation can also modify brain Cr levels.
