Creatine Monohydrate

Description

Amino acids have many functions in the body. They are the building blocks for all body proteinsstructural proteins that build muscle, connective tissues, bones and other structures, and functional proteins in the form of thousands of metabolically active enzymes. Amino acids provide the body with the nitrogen that is essential for growth and maintenance of all tissues and structures. Aside from these general functions, individual amino acids also have specific functions in many aspects of human physiology and biochemistry. Amino acids serve as precursors for many nitrogenous substances. These include heme, purines, pyrimidines, hormones, and neuro-transmitters, including biologically active peptides. In addition, many proteins contain amino acids that have been modified for a specific function, e.g., calcium binding or collagen cross-linking Creatine is an amino acid produced in the body from arginine, methionine and glycine. It can play important roles in supporting healthy energy production and muscle structure and performance.
