Creatine.

Creatine isn't a vitamin, mineral, or hormone. It is a naturally occurring amino acid that is found in your body (amino acids are the building blocks of proteins). By consuming meats and fish as well as dairy products, egg whites, nuts and seeds we acquire most of the Creatine in our system.

Although the human body stores high amounts of Creatine in the muscles to enhance recovery and power, it's difficult to maintain this level while lifting solely by food intake. Thus Creatine supplements have become a staple in the fitness community.

Supplementing Creatine in your diet will aid your muscle recovery and add power to your workouts. I add 5g of Creatine to my protein shake before every workout.
