Creatine

Creatine is known to many people as food for the muscles. Recent studies have also shown that creatine has a regenerative effect on the skin.

Basically, the body is able to produce creatine itself from the three amino acids arginine, glycine and methionine. Many athletes hope that taking creatine as a supplement will lead to firmer muscles and better performance. Only recently has cosmetic research discovered that creatine is also well absorbed by the skin. Once infiltrated, creatine boosts cell metabolism, not least of the fibroblasts. These are stimulated to produce more collagen. The welcome effect: the connective tissue regenerates and gives the epidermis new support.
