Creatine is among the most used supplements by folks these
days. However, despite its popularity, people still don’t know a lot about this
supplement.
Among the questions asked is its origin. Unknown to many,
before creatine was marketed and sold to the public, it already existed in the
human body. It is found in the muscles and can be outsourced from certain foods
like fish and meat. It was in the 70s when commercially made creatine was
introduced to the market. Scientists then believed that it would be a good tool
to further improve one’s physical performance. At present, creatine is widely
used by both professional and amateur athletes. Sports organizations such as
the International Olympic Committee do not ban the consumption of this
supplement as no researches or findings have been established indicating its
negative effects.
But aside from its athletic performance booster effect,
creatine is likewise used to treat a number of medical ailments such as
depression, bipolar disorder, congestive heart failure (CHF), gyrate atrophy
(an eye disease), Parkinson’s disease, high cholesterol, and illnesses
concerning the muscles and nerves. And for those diagnosed with ALS
(amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), McArdle’s disease, muscular dystrophy, and
rheumatoid arthritis, creatine is one of the ways to slow down the disease’s
degenerative effects.
