Creatine Monohydrate is an organic acid that is naturally found in humans. First discovered in 1832, the primary function of creatine monohydrate is to help in supplying energy to the muscles. About half of the stored creatine monohydrate in the body comes from food sources, mostly meat. Vegetarians tend to show lower levels of creatine monohydrate since vegetables don’t contain this acid. However since meat tends to contain high levels of saturated fat which is not good for the heart, one way in which creatine monohydrate can be made available is through supplements. In fact many body builders take creatine supplements to help in increasing muscle mass. Creatine monohydrate has also been shown to cause slight increase in strength in those with neuromuscular disorders and is now being considered as a therapy for several diseases like Parkinson’s, Huntington’s etc. especially because it is considered safe and so far has exhibited no side effects.

D-Ribose is pentose sugar found in ribonucleic acid. It is used to relieve anxiety and stress. It also has anti-depressing properties. D-ribose is present naturally in all living cells. Though it is not an essential nutrient, as the body can make it naturally, but it is very essential for life. D-Ribose is basically a solid, sweet, water-soluble matter, and is sometimes called just ribose. D-ribose is ingested in the food we eat. Nutritional foods like brewer’s yeast that are high in RNA content are excellent sources of D-Ribose. D-Ribose supplements increase the rate of generation of ATP, increasing exercise performance and enhancing muscle growth.
