Creatine monohydrate is a natural weightlifting supplement. It is currently the hottest selling body building product on the market (Mathas 1). Ten years ago supplements consisted of only protein, carbohydrate powders, vitamins, and minerals (Phillips 3). In 1985, Engineered Foods, creatine, Phosphagen, vanadyl, OKG, AKG, Glutamine and other popular supplements of today were unheard of (Phillips 4). When steroids were wiped out there was a huge void left in it's place.

Bob Reese, a sports medicine consultant, says "I tell anyone who asks me about its safety, 'We don't know.' I tell them to be careful, that they're probably not going to get into trouble if they follow the directions. Maybe there is no downside.....(Jeansonne 3)."
