Wikipedia
Creatine
Creatine ( or ) is an organic compound with the nominal formula (H2N)(HN)CN(CH3)CH2CO2H. It exists in various modifications (tautomers) in solution. Creatine is found in vertebrates where it facilitates recycling of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), primarily in muscle and brain tissue. Recycling is achieved by converting adenosine diphosphate (ADP) back to ATP via donation of phosphate groups. Creatine also acts as a buffer.

creatine
Creatine is a natural substance that is found primarily in muscle cells in the human body. It helps your muscles produce energy, particularly during heavy lifting or high-intensity exercise. It can be naturally obtained from certain types of meat and fish or synthetically created as a supplement. Despite its well-known role as a performance-enhancing supplement, creatine also plays important roles in brain health and disease prevention.

Creatine
Creatine is a nitrogenous organic acid that occurs naturally in vertebrates and helps to supply energy to all cells in the body, primarily muscle. This is achieved by increasing the formation of adenosine triphosphate. Creatine was identified in 1832 when Michel Eugène Chevreul discovered it as a component of skeletal muscle, which he later named after the Greek word for meat, κρέας. In solution, creatine is in equilibrium with creatinine.
