April 14, 2022

Creatine monohydrate，2-(1-Methylguanidino)acetic acid hydrate, CAS No. 6020-87-7, Molecular Formula C4h11n3o3, is a nitrogen-containing organic acid, the appearance of white crystals or crystalline powder, slightly soluble in water, an endogenous amino acid metabolite, plays an important role in cellular energy, especially in muscles and the brain. Can Be used as medicine and food additives.

In daily life, creatine, as a common nutritional supplement, is an amino acid derivative produced naturally in human body. It can rapidly increase muscle strength, promote new muscle growth, speed up fatigue recovery and improve explosive force. The International Institute of Sports Nutrition reports that the body needs 1-3 grams of creatine per day. Red Meat or seafood contains 1-2 grams of creatine per 500 grams, which means you have to eat more than 500 grams of meat or seafood per day to maintain muscle creatine levels. However, taking creatine supplements is easier and more convenient than eating meat.

CREATINE is the source of energy for explosive exertion, in the form of N-phosphocreatine in the muscle, which is produced during vigorous exercise and quickly restores energy during continuous exercise. The direct energy of human activity comes from ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) , which is stored very little in the body, so ATP is consumed soon after the start of exercise, and then the N-PHOSPHOCREATINE is quickly converted into ATP to continue to supply energy. Simple words can give us more energy, training can be a large amount of time can be appropriate to take creatine.

In addition, muscular dystrophy patients can take creatine under the supervision of their doctor if their home environment permits, and should not take excessive or arbitrarily increased doses to prevent side effects and drug resistance caused by overdose.
