    Answer:
Creatine is an endogenous amino acid derivative produced by vertebrate animals and occurring primarily in muscle cells. Creatine is important for energy storage; it is phosphorylated to creatine phosphate, which serves as a phosphate donor in the conversion of ADP to ATP and supplies energy necessary for muscle contraction. Dietary supplementation with creatine may improve muscle wasting associated with cancer and other chronic diseases. The website "Creatine Information Center" provides good source of information about creatine. Its "Creatine Facts" page includes a list of FAQs about creatine that covers the topics of background, dosing strategies, side effects, risks, rumors, precautions, and additional information sources.
