The creatine scoop
Article Abstract:
Studies show that creatine, an amino acid which is a source of energy for muscles while doing exercise, increases physical strength and improves the performance of athletes who are involved in sports that require brief but lots of energy. Evidences show that this energy supplement is not effective for marathon runners or distance swimmers who work for hours. Moreover, female athletes and teenagers do not benefit from this energy supplement.
