History Of Creatine
In 1832, French philosopher and scientist, Michel Eugene Chevreul became the first man to successfully extract creatine
from meat. When other scientists heard about Chevreul’s finding, a man named Von Liebig continued the research and found that wild animals have more creatine in their muscles than their domestic cousins. He came to the conclusion that the level of activity influenced the amount of
creatine produced. In 1912, researches in Harvard University found that ingesting creatine could dramatically boost the creatine
content within the muscle. Also findings emerged
which suggested that the use of oral
creatine in animals promoted nitrogen retention. This meant that more protein was building up in the muscles, increasing weight gain.Slide3
Properties Of Creatine
Some forms of creatine include creatine monohydrate,
creatine anhydrous, creatine citrate and dicreatine malate. Compound name: 2-[Carbamimidoyl
(methyl)amino]acetic acidMolar mass: 131.133 g/mol Molecular Formula: C4H9N3O2Appearance: White chrystals
Soluble in H2O at
18 °C
Melting point: 255 °C Boiling point: N/ASlide4
Creatine Structural Diagram
Creatine
is made up of Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen , and Oxygen.
When the equation is balanced it is:
4 C(s) + 9/2 H2(g) + 3/2 N2(g) + O2(g) = C4H9N3O2 Slide5
Synthesized Commercially
Creatine is produced naturally in our body with the combination of three amino acids, glycine, arginine and methionine. Creatine
also is created synthetically by the manufacturing of two chemicals - sarcosine, which is a sodium salt and derivative of acetic acid, and cyanamide. The process to manufacturing creatine happens in 4 stages – reaction phase, cleaning phase, drying phase, and the milling phase. At the end of this process is a pure finished
creatine ready to be packaged. Pure finished creatine is usually 88% creatine and 12% water because creatine
picks up and bonds to water molecules during the initial reaction process.Slide6
Why Do people Use Creatine
?Benefits of Supplementing with Creatine:
Increases muscle strength and sizeEnhances recoveryImproves sprint performanceEnhances brain functionThere is some science supporting the use of creatine
in improving the athletic performance of young, healthy people during brief high-intensity activity such as sprinting. Because of this, creatine is often used as a dietary supplement to improve muscle strength and athletic performance. Vegetarians have the most success when supplementing
creatine
because their body is already at a low
creatine since they don’t eat red meats. Although Creatine has shown to be successful, many people think that it is a very dangerous supplement and leads to many issues later on in life.Slide7
Issues associated with Creatine
Creatine is dangerous in large quantities, just like every other supplement but
Scientists have made connections between creatine and problems like kidney failure, liver problems, heart problems and more, but this has not been proven. Creatine can also cause diarrhea, stomach pain, nausea and muscle cramps.
If someone is using Creatine and isn’t drinking large amounts of water, they will become dehydrated and start cramping up.Very few people experience these 4 side effects when using creatine but when they do it is important to stop using it right away:
allergic reaction, especially hives, swelling, or trouble breathing
fast
heartbeatseizures or faintingany signs of dizziness, drowsiness, weakness, or confusion Slide8
