Creatine is often taken by athletes as a supplement for those wishing to gain muscle mass. Creatine helps to supply energy to muscle and nerve cells. As a result, Creatine may make you bigger, stronger and allow you to train harder.
Creatine is available in many forms including creatine monohydrate, tri-creatine malate, creatine ethyl ester, creatine gluconate and others.
There is scientific evidence that taking creatine supplements can marginally increase athletic performance in high-intensity anaerobic repetitive movements. Ingesting creatine can increase the level of phosphocreatine in the muscles up to 20% (Engelhardt et al, 1998).
Creatine is a safe supplement to use. Creatine in its pure form is permitted in most sports.
