Creatine is a naturally occurring non-protein amino acid of which the primary metabolic role is to combine creatine with a phosphoryl group to generate phosphocreatine, which is used to regenerate ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate. Most of the human body's total creatine and phosphocreatine stores are found in skeletal muscle (95%), while the remainder is distributed in the blood, brain, testes, and other tissues. The average amount of total creatine (creatine and phosphocreatine) stored in the body is approximately 120 mmol/kg of dry muscle mass. However the upper limit of creatine storage post supplementation and dietary intervention is believed to be around 160 mmol/kg. Studies have also shown that 1-2% of intramuscular creatine is degraded per day and an individual would need to consume about 1-3g of creatine per day to maintain average (unsupplemented) creatine storage. For most individuals about half (1g/day) of this daily need is consumed from an omnivorous diet, while the remaining amount is synthesized in the liver and kidneys
