Any movement in and of our body is caused by tensing and relaxing the muscles. Muscles convert chemical energy directly into physical energy and heat. Creatine is of vital importance to the functioning of the muscular system as much for movement in general as for the heart in particular. It enhances the functioning, endurance and power of the muscles. Creatine ensures that muscles tire out less easily when being used, improves the development of power and shortens the necessary rest periods. It also helps to build up and develop muscle power quickly after long periods of inactivity such as illness or confinement. Many clinical studies have shown the positive working of Creatine taken as a supplement to a normal diet. Athletes have confirmed the positive effect on endurance and performance in sports requiring strength.

Creatine is a substance that occurs naturally only in meat. Although a small amount of Creatine can be created naturally by the human body, a certain amount of meat in our diet is normally necessary in order to meet daily requirements. Insufficient Creatine in the body will cause muscular weakness and diminish endurance and performance.

The body of a person weighing 70 kilo should contain about 120 gram Creatine. A normally active person will need to use about 2 to 4 gram of Creatine per day, although this may double or triple with increased mental or physical activity.

A supplement of Creatine to the daily diet is especially recommended to people who eat little or no Creatine (i.e. meat). However, older people will also benefit if their diet is supplemented, since people over the age of 50 can store distinctly smaller amounts. Especially older people benefit from the addition of Creatine to their diet; it helps them keep mobile and increases their energy. It enhances general performance and enhances muscular power and endurance.

It is recommended that Creatine is taken over periods of three months with a pause of four weeks between consecutive courses.
