Creatine

Also called Creatine monohydrate

Creatine is a compound stored in muscle that helps recycle energy during short, hard efforts; meat and fish supply small amounts, and monohydrate powder is the best-studied supplemental form.

The body makes creatine from amino acids. Supplementing about 3 to 5 g of creatine monohydrate per day after stores are saturated can improve strength and power alongside resistance training in many adults.
