Creatine（Cat No.:R068909）is a naturally occurring compound synthesized from the amino acids arginine, glycine, and methionine. Found primarily in muscle and brain tissue, it plays a central role in energy metabolism by regenerating adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through the phosphocreatine system. Stored as free creatine and phosphocreatine, it provides rapid energy during high-intensity, short-duration activities like weightlifting or sprinting. Widely used as a dietary supplement, creatine enhances exercise performance, muscle mass, and recovery. It also shows promise in neurological research for conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, ALS, and traumatic brain injury.
