Creatine

Perhaps one of the best-researched supplements on the market, creatine is a chemical produced by the body. It is found in red meat, fish, eggs and other sources. The molecule is widely used to improve athletic performance, boost endurance and increase strength when lifting weights. It is also said to have cardioprotective and brain-boosting effects – especially in people who don’t eat meat or animal products. There are many varieties of creatine on the market today, each with benefits said to make it better than the next. The different forms of creatine include monohydrate, ethyl ester, buffered, hydrochloride, chelate and nitrate.
