Are there levels of creatine stored in the body?
Creatine is among the most widely used supplements known to improve athletic performance. It is a nonessential dietary compound, synthesised primarily in the liver, from three amino acids: arginine, glycine and methionine. The estimated daily requirement of creatine is ~ 2 grams (g), approximately 1 g of which comes from the diet (meats, fish and other animal products), whereas the rest is provided from sources within the body. Supplementation above this level, however, seems to increase power during anaerobic, short duration, high-intensity activities.
