Creatine is an endogenous compound naturally found in muscles and the brain. It is primarily synthesized in the liver from the amino acids arginine, glycine, and methionine, and also absorbed through food – especially meat and fish. Creatine monohydrate is the most researched and most commonly used form of creatine as a dietary supplement.
How Does Creatine Work in the Body?
Creatine plays a central role in the energy metabolism of muscle cells. It is stored in the muscle as phosphocreatine and serves as a readily available energy buffer for ATP regeneration. This mechanism is particularly relevant during short, intense bursts of activity such as sprinting, jumping, or heavy strength training.
What Does Science Say?
Creatine Monohydrate is one of the most extensively researched dietary supplements available. The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has confirmed the following authorized health claim:
"Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high intensity exercise."
This claim applies to a daily intake of 3g of creatine.
Creatine Monohydrate vs. Other Forms of Creatine
There are various forms of creatine on the market, such as creatine HCL or buffered creatine. However, creatine monohydrate is the most thoroughly studied form with the strongest scientific evidence. It is also cost-effective, stable, and well-tolerated.
