How long does creatine stay in your system after you stop taking it?

Creatine will stay in your system between 2 and 3 weeks after you stop taking it. Creatine is an organic acid made up of amino acids that transports extra energy to the body´s cells.

Creatine can be taken in powder or pill form and has been proven to help athletes with intense workouts. As it delivers more energy to the body, it increases the length of workouts and builds muscle mass faster as a result.

Creatine is made of three amino acids, arginine, glycine and methionate. These are naturally found in the body as well as in certain foods. Lamb, veal, chicken, turkey and wild game are good sources for those who don´t want to take a supplement, according to Naturalnews.com.
