Creatine

What is creatine? How to get creatine? How many forms of creatine are there? C₄H₉N₃O₂

Creatine is a nitrogen-containing carboxylic acid found in vertebrates. Participates in energy metabolism in muscle and nerve cells. Creatine was isolated from skeletal muscles by Chevreul in 1832. The name was formed from ancient Greek “meat”. Creatine is most commonly used to improve exercise performance and increase muscle mass in athletes and the elderly. There is relevant scientific research supporting the use of creatine in young, healthy adults to improve athletic performance during short-term, intense activities such as sprinting, strength sports, etc.

Forms of modern pharmacology of creatine distinguish the following:

1 Kre-Alkalyn (Kre-Alkalyn)

2 Creatine anhydrous

3 Creatine alpha-ketoglutarate

4 Creatine Hydrochloride (Con-cret)

5 Creatine HMB (Creatine HMB)

6 Creatine monohydrate

7 Creatine tartrate

8 Creatine titrate

9 Creatine phosphate

10 Creatine citrate

11 Tri-Creatine Malate

12 Dicreatine malate (2-Creatine malate)

13 Magnesium creatine

14 Creatine ethyl ester

Effect of creatine on cardiac muscle contraction force

The study of the molecular mechanism of cardiac contractility disorders during myocardial infarction has led to conclusions that do not fit into the generally accepted ideas about cardiac energy metabolism. As a result of scientific studies, it became clear that one of the hitherto unknown regulators of the heart muscle contraction force is creatine. This discovery was made by I. I. Chazov.
