Creatine is a nitrogen-containing compound, which is naturally found in vertebrates, and can assist in
energy supply for muscle and nerve cells. Creatine can be synthesized by three amino acids, arginine,
glycine and methionine, which can be synthesized by human body or taken from food. About 95% of
creatine is found in skeletal muscle, mainly in the form of phosphocreatine. As a supplement, creatine can
enhance the performance of the muscles by increasing the muscle quality. Creatine is also widely studied
as a therapeutic drug for neuromuscular diseases, which may help to protect the nerves and improve the
biological function of cells.
