White solid. Soluble in water (10mg/ml). A nitrogenous organic acid that occurs naturally in vertebrates. Can be acquired through dietary consumption or formed from L-arginine, glycine and L-methionine in a multi-step reaction that occurs in the kidney and liver, High-energy reservoir for the rapid regeneration of...

Creatine is a derivative of the amino acid glycine. It is produced from glycine and L-arginine by arginine:glycine amidinotransferase (AGAT) and guanidinoacetate N-methyltransferase (GAMT) via a guanidinoacetate intermediate. Creatine circulates in the blood and enters tissues via the creatine transporter. In...

Description: Creatine monohydrate (Methylguanidoacetic acid monohydrate) is a key player in the phosphagen energy system, especially in muscle and the brain. Creatine monohydrate is the primary source of ATP during high-intensity, short-term activities. Target: Endogenous Metabolite. Smiles: CN(CC(O)=O)C(N)=N.[H]O[H]
