Creatine

What is creatine, you ask? I didn't know either so I had to look it up in a search engine. Unfortunately I got this definition: Creatine is a nitrogenous organic acid that occurs naturally in vertebrates and helps to supply energy to all cells in the body, primarily muscle, by increasing the formation of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Creatine was identified in 1832 when Michel Eugène Chevreul discovered it as a component of skeletal muscle, which he later named creatine after the Greek word for meat, κρέας (kreas). In solution, creatine is in equilibrium with creatinine. It all looks Greek to me.
Basically creatine is something that the body produces to assist the muscles of the body. Most of it comes from eating meats. Now isn't that so much simpler than the definition above?
Creatine is generally used by athletes and body builders to help them increase their muscle mass. If you would like to increase your muscle mass then this is the product for you. But, where does one find the best creatine?
You could scour the internet for hours, perhaps day, doing the research but I don't think sitting in a chair for that many hours will do anything for your muscles except perhaps make them lethargic. But, fear not dear readers the research has already been done for you. All you have to do is click the link in this post and find all the information that you need about creatine supplements. I love it when things are easy.
Once you have decided which is best for you I advise you to take this information and talk to your doctor. Better to be safe than sorry, you know. Some persons with allergies might not wish to take creatine so it is best to talk things over with your doctor. They know your body much better than you do. Heck, I bet your doctor would understand every word of the first definition I wrote up at the top of this entry.
Get yourself some creatine, get yourself some muscle mass.
