Creatine is one of the most popular sports supplements on the market and is used by bodybuilders, athletes, sportsmen and women alike. It is a compound made naturally in our bodies as an energy replenisher, it is manufactured in the liver, kidneys and pancreas and secreted into blood for transport to muscle (amongst other) tissues. The process of taking creatine supplements enables the muscle cells to become hydrated, which in turn leads to a faster synthesizing of protein by the muscles, with the overall effect being that of increased strength and energy. This enables the person taking the supplement to be able to work out longer, build lean muscle which furthermore results in the loss of unwanted fat.
