Description

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Acros Organics product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Acros Organics product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

General Description

• Creatine is an amino acid made naturally by the body that can also be acquired through dietary consumption

• It is primarily stored in skeletal muscle tissue

• Creatine is stored in a phosphate form, and upon depletion of ATP deposits, phosphocreatine is able to donate phosphate groups to rapidly replenish ATP

• Creatine supplementation may be beneficial as a disease treatment, particularly in diseases of muscle wasting including cancer and chronic disease

Applications

• Creatine may be used in the laboratory to study its potential for use as a treatment for metabolic and muscle wasting diseases

• Creatine has been found to have antitumor, antiviral, and antidiabetic effects

• It is also used in laboratory settings to study neurological disorders and has been found to be neuroprotective against hypoxic conditions
