Creatine monohydrate is a small peptide of amino acids (the “building blocks of protein”). It is formed in the liver, pancreas, and kidneys, mainly with the help of the amino acids glycine, arginine, and methionine.

Creatine monohydrate is a molecule naturally present in the human body, especially in the skeletal muscles. About 90 percent to 95 percent of creatine is stored in the muscles, with the rest found in the heart, brain, liver, kidneys, testes, and almost every cell.

It is taken in supplement form to help boost energy production in the body. Taking this supplement can be helpful for boosting the production of energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
