What you should know about creatine
What is Creatine?
Creatine is a naturally occurring compound found in muscle tissue and the brain. The body naturally produces a small amount of creatine, and we also get it from foods like red meat and seafood. The difficulty lies in reaching high muscle creatine levels through diet alone to fully saturate muscle stores, which is why supplementation is popular. To achieve optimal stores, you’d need to consume roughly a kilogram of beef or fish every single day—an impractical amount that you won’t hear our dietitian recommend!
