A natural compound that is found within your body, and provides you with energy to perform extreme exercise. This includes all types of exercise - from running to weight training. It is found in most meats and fish, although in fairly small quantities. Creatine is important because it plays a central part in "generating" energy for your body (once creatine gets into muscle tissue it is converted to creatine phosphate which in turn regenerates ATP (Adenosine TriPhosphate) which is the energy source used by your body).

In safe dosages it does not have any adverse side effects so long as you drink sufficient water when using creatine. Because creatine draws water into muscle tissue (its muscle volumising effect) you can suffer from dehydration related effects such as cramps - this is easily solved by drinking enough water. Creatine has also been linked to stomach pain, nausea and flatulence when loading - this is due to large amounts of creatine in the intestines, usually caused by poor quality creatine. This can be rectified by lowering your dosage and buying the purest creatine monohydrate (creapure is a good choice).
