power." In a memory test that asked participants to recall a string of
numbers, people taking creatine recalled an average of 8.5 numbers vs. seven
for people not taking the supplement"

prolong cellular life and protect against cell injury and death ... We have

patients, as measured by muscle strength and a decreased rate of
deterioration. Additionally, creatine has a long history of safe use, and is
well tolerated by patients in the study"
- Studies Say Creatine Is OK - Intelihealth,
12/17/01 - "there were indications

and were less likely to report arm and shoulder fatigue, while nonusers were
more likely to report feeling they were falling behind in their training ...
All creatine is doing is letting you do a few extra reps in weight training,
or cut a tenth of a second off your time ... You are looking at a 5 to 10
percent performance improvement ... Athletes on creatine might
overtrain and might hurt
themselves, but this would be the result of the athletes expecting to do
more than they can ... If you want to go from training four days to training
seven days, that could lead to overtraining, but that's not
creatine's
fault"

Guanidino Compounds After Creatine Supplementation in Renal Failure Patients
and their Relation to Inflammatory Status - Nephrol Dial Transplant.
2007 Nov 29 - "Specific guanidino compounds have
been described as uraemic toxins and their concentrations are increased in
renal failure due to dimished glomerular filtration, whereas the guanidino
compound creatine is used as a performance-enhancing substance in athletes.
The present study investigates the effects of creatine supplementation on
plasma guanidino compounds in a chronic haemodialysis population ...
Patients were treated with creatine (2 g/day) or placebo during two
treatment periods of 4 weeks ... Upon creatine supplementation,
guanidinoacetate concentrations decreased by 15%, due to inhibition of
creatine synthesis. Concentrations of alpha-keto-delta-guanidinovaleric acid
increased three-fold and argininic acid concentrations doubled"
