"If you are going to win any battle, you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do... the body is never tired if the mind is not tired." -- General George S. Patton, Commander, Third U.S. Army, Normandy.

Creatine is neither an anabolic steroid nor human growth hormone. It's an organic acid that is naturally-present in the skeletal tissue of vertebrates. Your body also synthesizes creatine from three amino acids: arginine, glycine, and methionine. If you eat foods like red meat, you are already consuming creatine in your diet.

While creatine supplementation may enhance the addition of lean muscle mass as well as allow you to perform slightly more work in the gym, it is NOT considered a performance enhancing drug. It is not, for example, on the International Olympic Committee's list of banned substances. It will not make you test positive for anabolic steroids or HGh.

Why is health and fitness in the sports boards? Surely General would be more appropriate? Neither Health nor Fitness are sports, but through sports along with other factors, you can achieve both.
