Is creatine an Amino Acid?Updated a year ago

Creatine is an Amino Acid, however, it is not considered an essential Amino Acid. Creatine is primarily located in your body’s muscles, as well as in the brain. Seafood and red meat are the best sources of Creatine, and your body stores it as phosphocreatine mainly in your muscles to use as energy (Mayo Clinic. 2021).
