For people who don't eat meat — or for athletes who train intensively and use up muscle creatine stores faster — supplementation can make the difference between \"sufficient\" and \"saturated.\" Fully saturated muscle creatine stores provide more phospho-creatine, which translates to a bit more power output during explosive movements, an extra repetition on the squat, or slightly faster recovery between sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCreatine has been widely researched since 1992, when the first clinical studies were published. There are now over 1,000 peer-reviewed studies examining its effects on strength, power, muscle mass, and recovery.
