creatine question

[parrothead]

I have been looking through some past post's and can not really find a direct answer so I will just ask

What exactly does creatine do, and how does it help you?

I don't think you looked too hard There's a creatine faq on the main page of Supplements and Drugs.

In general:
Creatine is a substance the body uses to help muscles contract with more force. This allows them to become stronger and grow larger, the latter also being due to some water retention within the muscle. It is important while on creatine to continue to workout, and to keep well hydrated.
