Lemon-flavoured food supplement with 3 g of creatine monohydrate per serving.
Creatine is a natural non-protein amino acid compound found in the diet mainly in red meat, fish and seafood. In the body, most creatine is found in skeletal muscle, but smaller amounts are also found in the brain, kidneys, liver and, in men, in the testes.
Creatine supplementation can be an effective nutritional ergogenic aid that can benefit athletes in many sports. It can reduce muscle damage, improve recovery from intense exercise and help recover more quickly from injuries.
Creatine is safe to consume in healthy untrained and trained individuals regardless of age. Creatine supplementation, especially in combination with exercise, provides musculoskeletal and performance benefits even in older adults.
