Creatine is a nitrogenous organic acid, consisting of 3 amino acids: L-arginine, glycine, and L-methionine. It’s produced in the liver, kidneys and pancreas and helps to supply energy to cells all over your body. Found naturally in your skin, creatine acts as an energy reservoir and is important for the energy supply and function of your cells.
Creatine can help skin cells to repair and regenerate. The production of collagen in the skin is complex, but without sufficient cellular energy to synthesise, collagen stores will deplete. This depletion results in a decline in skin elasticity and promotes unwanted wrinkles.
