What is creatine?

Creatine is a compound formed . It occurs naturally in some foods
(like beef), but many strength athletes take additional creatine. It
is believe to increase muscular endurance and hence to enhance
strength training.


chris,
aren't you worried about the negative medical concerns regarding the use of creatine?


What negative medical concerns are those?

As Chris wrote, creatine monohydrate occurs naturally in red meat. By
eating enough red meat, one can very easily (if not economically or
with dietary variety) saturate one's muscles with creatine just as one
can by using supplemental creatine. There's no magic there.
