CREATINE
The use of creatine in cultural
and traditional settings may differ from concepts accepted by current Western medicine. When
considering the use of herbal/ health supplements, consultation with a primary health care
professional is advisable. Additionally, consultation with a practitioner trained in the uses
of herbal/ health supplements may be beneficial, and coordination of treatment among all health
care providers involved may be advantageous.
Creatine is produced naturally
in the kidney, liver, and pancreas of humans. Creatine is also supplied in meat and fish. Most
creatine in the body is stored in the muscles, in the form of phosphocreatine. Creatine is a
quickly available source of energy for muscle contraction. Creatine is also involved in muscle
growth.
Creatine has been
used to enhance athletic performance.
Creatine has not been
evaluated by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or purity. All potential risks and/ or
advantages of creatine may not be known. Additionally, there are no regulated manufacturing
standards in place for these compounds. There have been instances where herbal/ health
supplements have been sold which were contaminated with toxic metals or other drugs.
Herbal/ health supplements should be purchased from a reliable source to minimize the risk of
contamination.
