Creatine is found naturally in muscle cells, where it helps muscles produce energy during high-intensity exercise¹.

It's well-known for improving strength and exercise performance, as it increases phosphocreatine stores in your muscles, allowing for the production of more ATP, the key energy source¹².
Beyond muscle benefits, creatine may also improve brain function and help lower blood sugar levels, although more research is needed in these areas¹.
Food Sources
About half of your body's creatine stores come from food, especially red meat and seafood, while the rest is synthesized in your liver and kidneys from amino acids¹.
