Dietary creatine – key sources

[adidamps2]

so after doin some research on food creatine levels i found a decent answer, and for those of you who were wondering the same thing. here is the answer for some common foods.



Food Approx creatine content (grams per lb) Amount required in lbs (for 5 grams/day intake) Calories contained:
Herring (raw) 3-4 1.4 1500
Beef (lean) 2 2.5 1400
Cod (raw) 1.4 3.6 1250
Tuna (raw) 1.8 2.8 1700
Pork (lean) 2 2.5 1700
Salmon (raw) 2 2.5 2100
Milk (semi-skimmed) 0.05 160 33600
Prawns Trace Huge amounts! Huge amounts!
took all this from this site:

plus some other interesting facts and info.

Nice job Bro!! This is something I've pondered but hadn't researched yet, so THANK YOU for taking the time and posting it. Great post, I love this type of info..

"eh?" ..because getting what you need from a whole food source is always going to be the BEST and most potent method...IMO Don't get me wrong, I supplement but only when I'm cutting and can't consume as much whole foods...

There is no "best" method. All that matters is muscle phosphocreatine saturation. 3-5g of creatine monohydrate ingested daily has been shown to do this. There will be nothing better about getting it from whole foods only.
