Abstract

The impact of creatine on the human body used as supplementation is explored in this research paper, delving into the analysis of the effects of supplementing with creatine on the human body. A naturally occurring amino acid, creatine can be obtained from our diet and is primarily stored in muscle tissues, acting as an essential source of energy metabolism. For ages, athletes have used creatine as a dietary supplement to enhance muscle strength and size, sporting performance, and cognitive functionality, given its critical role in human body. The focal point of this article is the effect that creatine supplementation has on muscle development, cognitive abilities, aging musculoskeletal health, type 2 diabetes, and oxidative stress, as well as the potential negative outcomes. Based on the data, adding creatine to a routine can have advantageous impact on muscle growth, mental function, oxidant pressure, type 2 diabetes, and the effects of aging on bone and joint health. Although creatine supplementation is commonly deemed as safe, it is crucial to exercise caution when consuming large quantities or using it for an extended period, particularly in individuals with pre-existing health conditions. The study concludes that incorporating creatine supplementation into one's routine may prove beneficial for those seeking to enhance their athletic abilities, muscle mass, strength, and overall well-being. Nevertheless, to fully understand, research is required the potential advantages and risks related to creatine supplementation. Furthermore, it is imperative to ascertain the ideal dosages and protocols that would be suitable for diverse populations and varying conditions.
