You’ve probably heard of creatine, but do you know how much it can do for your daily workout routine? Whether you’re doing low impact, strength training, or cardio, creatine supports your physical activity by improving energy levels, performance and recovery.
The science of creatine explained.
Creatine is a compound naturally produced in the body from three amino acids: arginine, glycine and methionine. We also get small amounts of creatine from foods like red meat and seafood. Creatine is stored for use primarily in muscles and the brain.
Its main role is helping the body regenerate ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the molecule that cells use for energy. When ATP is used during movement or mental effort, creatine helps replenish it so cells can keep producing energy. Because ATP powers everything from muscle contraction to daily movement, creatine’s role in energy production is closely tied to how the whole body maintains strength and function over time.
Is creatine right for you?
Taking creatine can benefit physical performance, muscle health and mass, along with recovery from physical activity. This makes creatine a great option for endurance and strength training athletes, vegetarians or vegans, older adults, or people recovering from injury or illness.
Creatine supplements provide the same compound your body naturally produces, just in a more concentrated form. This usually comes as creatine monohydrate, a form that has been widely studied for its role in supporting energy production.
