Creatine is a compound naturally produced by the body that plays a key role in energy metabolism. Energy is stored in the muscles in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). If you need a lot of energy during physical exertion, the energy metabolism converts ATP into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and thus releases energy.
Creatine itself is not directly involved in ATP synthesis, but serves as a buffer by forming creatine phosphate: Creatine phosphate can quickly transfer a phosphate group to ADP in order to produce or regenerate ATP.
Higher creatine levels increase creatine phosphate stores, supporting faster ATP regeneration. In particular during short, intensive workouts, creatine can increase training performance and thus indirectly promote muscle growth.
An adult stores around 80 to 130 grams of creatine in the body. Around 1 to 2% of this is broken down every day and must be replaced. The organism can synthesize part of it itself, while the rest is absorbed through the diet.
However, the preparation of food, for example by heating, can reduce the creatine content. In addition, creatine is mainly found in red meat and fish, which can result in a low creatine intake with diets or special diets.
In total, the combination of home production and food intake is usually only sufficient to cover basic needs. A targeted dietary supplementation with creatine can therefore help to optimally fill the need.
Creatine is not only suitable for bodybuilders or fitness enthusiasts. Athletes involved in sports with short, intensive periods of exertion - such as soccer, basketball, ice hockey or sprinting disciplines - also benefit from an additional creatine intake.
Creatine can also have a supportive effect in old age: In combination with light strength training, it helps to counteract the age-related decline in muscle mass and strength.
Vegetarians and vegans in particular, whose diet contains less creatine, can replenish their creatine stores in a targeted manner through supplementation and thus benefit from the positive effects.
