Role of Supplementation in Dietary Intake
Diet typically provides minimal amount of creatine, with extra grams coming from omnivorous or carnivorous diets. Plant-based, vegan, vegetarian, ethical treatment of animals, allergies, and seafood populations may consider supplementation. The lowest effective dose for muscle improvement is an additional three grams a day. Getting creatine through diet may not be viable due to the cost and impracticality. Supplementation can help offset habitual dietary intake and augment natural creatine levels. Dosing of supplementation is still debated, and there is a distinction between responders and non-responders to creatine supplementation.
