The liver and kidney contain approximately 0.01% Creatine. • Today, Creatine content (as a percentage of crude protein) can be used as an indicator of meat quality. • http://videos.bodybuilding.com/watch/70462/site-guides-creatine WHAT IT CLAIMS TO DO • Explosive Energy • Enhanced Endurance • Maximum Performance • Focus, Muscular Strength and Power • Can any of this be confirmed?
