The chemical name for Creatine is methyl guanidine-acetic acid. Creatine is a natural substance found in our muscle cells, especially around the skeletal muscle (about 95% of the body's creatine supply) with the remaining 5% stored in other parts of the body. Creatine is a metabolite produced in the body which mainly consists of three amino acids - methionine, arginine, and glycine.
Our liver has the ability to combine these three amino acids and make creatine. The pancreas and the kidneys also synthesize a small amount of creatine when necessary. Another source for creatine is our diet. We can also get creatine by taking it as a dietary supplement. Although it comes in many different forms, the most common formula used for athletic purposes is creatine monohydrate.
A 72 kg individual will have about 120 grams of creatine stored naturally in his body. The main food sources of creatine are fish and red meat. Half a pound of raw meat provides about 1g of creatine for the body. However, the amount of creatine we get from foods is much less than the amount needed to yield the maximum beneficial effect. To get roughly 20 grams of creatine (the general dosage amount for the loading phase), one would have to consume roughly 16-18 steaks. Because of this, it is much more convenient to simply consume creatine as a supplement, otherwise you'd end up having to eat a ton of meat each day.
Creatine is a commonly used supplement to decrease recovery times between your workout sessions allowing you to train harder and bulk up faster. Creatine plays a major part in the bodies generation of ATP, which is the primary fuel for muscles during high intensity workouts. The faster your refill your bodies stores of ATP the faster you will be able to recover and train again.
By using a creatine supplement you will be able to trainer longer, harder and more often.
