Creatine is a natural constituent of a normal diet. Muscle foods such as steak and sushi are often quoted as being high in Creatine. However, vegetarian sources do exist, juniper berries being a particularly good example. Creatine is found in high concentrations in human muscle where it plays an important part in the energy production process. Normally this Creatine is provided from the diet but the body does have the ability to manufacture Creatine from the amino acids Arginine, Glycine and Methionine.
It appears that because of the changes in people’s dietary habits they are receiving less Creatine in their diet and have a sub optimal store of Creatine in the muscle. This is especially so for vegetarian athletes. By supplementing Creatine in the diet it is possible to increase the Creatine in muscle and improve performance.
Creatine appeared on the supplement market in the early 90’s and it has created unprecedented numbers of scientific studies. Creatine has been used by many thousands of athletes and generated much media coverage. Creatine supplementation does improve performance. Science in Sport have been at the forefront of Creatine supplementation since the early 1990’s and their KR10 brand has been proven in many scientific studies and been used effectively by athletes and sports people at all levels of competition. Science in Sport only use pharmaceutical grade European manufactured Creatine that is then packed in their own drug free facility, it does not contravene any IOC regulations. Creatine supplementation should be considered by anyone serious about their sport.
Science in Sport Creatine is synthesized de novo from vegetarian ingredients and is therefore suitable for vegetarians
