Summary

This article examines the effects of creatine supplementation on endurance performance.

However, emerging evidence suggests creatine may benefit endurance athletes in specific race situations like finishing kicks or breakaways. The article explains what creatine is (made from arginine, glycine, and methionine) and reviews the growing body of research on its potential applications for endurance athletes.
