6020-87-7 Description

Creatine Monohydrate is the monohydrate form of creatine similar or identical to endogenous creatine produced in the liver, kidneys, and pancreas. Pure creatine is a white, tasteless,odorless powder, that is a naturally occurring metabolite found in muscle tissue.

Creatine monohydrate is an amino acid produced in the human body that plays a role in replenishing the energy supply to muscle cells.Creatine is usually produced to a purity of 99.5 percent or higher.Until recently, the primary use for creatine was as a laboratory reagent, demand for which was relatively limited.

 

6020-87-7 Uses

  1. Creatine is a natural compound made from the amino acids l-arginine, glycine, and methionine.Creatine monohydrate is a creatine with one molecule of water connected to it. Our bodies can produce creatine, however they also can take in and store creatine found in diverse meals like meat, eggs, and fish.
  2. Creatine monohydrate is involved in rapid ATP production primarily in skeletal muscle tissue via the action of creatine kinase(s). It may be used as a supplement to study its uptake mechanism and metabolism of action. It is used in the treatment of neuromuscular diseases.
