Creatine 101
There’s always something.
The next big thing.
The supplement.
The shortcut.
The secret weapon everyone suddenly swears by.
Everyone talks like they know what it is — but almost no one actually does.
Most of the time, it’s just hype.
A fad.
It blows up on social media, lands in everyone’s cart, then disappears just as fast.
Creatine is not that.
It’s not a fad.
And it’s not just for meatheads.
It’s one of the most studied, most effective supplements out there.
And lately, I’ve been getting a ton of questions about it.
I personally don’t take many supplements — because I think most are crap…and I’m terrible at remembering.
But creatine? I take it.
Let’s break down what it actually is — so you can decide if it’s worth it.
What Is Creatine?
Creatine is a compound your body naturally produces in the liver, kidneys, and pancreas, built from three amino acids: arginine, glycine, and methionine.
