Creatine 101

Creatine is a very popular supplement in body building and is used by alot of people. There are a few different types of creatines but standard creatine monohydrate is just as good as any other creatine products.  Creatine is not a vitamin, mineral, herb, steriod or growth hormone like many people think.

Creatine monohydrate has been around for many years and is the most researched supplement out there with hundreds of studies done. Creatine is a made from 3 amino acids (arginine, glycine and methionine) which are natural compounds found in raw foods mainly and are the building blocks of protein.

Creatine is found in foods in lower amounts with the main foods being fish and red meats. To get 5 grams of creatine per day from red meat you would have to eat 5 steaks a day which is obviously going to be unrealistic and expensive.
