La creatina (dal greco κρέας, krèas, "carne") è un derivato amminoacidico che può essere sintetizzato dal fegato (1 g/die) a partire da arginina, S-adenosil metionina e glicina, ed è utilizzato nei muscoli dei mammiferi per rigenerare ATP durante i primi secondi della contrazione muscolare. L'organismo umano è in grado di immagazzinarne al massimo 0,3 g per ogni kg di peso corporeo. Quando si assume creatina di origine animale, si ha la sua fosforilazione sull'azoto non glicinico a fosfocreatina. Normalmente viene ricercato il suo prodotto di degradazione nelle urine e nel sangue, la creatinina, attraverso un esame chiamato creatininemia, come indice della funzionalità renale. Viene impiegata nella terapia medica e come integratore utilizzato dagli sportivi soprattutto in discipline anaerobiche, come ad esempio culturismo, sollevamento pesi e simili.
