Creatine vs. Creatinine What’s the Difference? These two words sound alike, but they are very different. 1. What Is Creatine? Creatine is a natural substance found in your muscles. Your body makes creatine in the liver and kidneys. It is also found in meat and fish. Some people take creatine supplements to improve strength and high‑intensity exercise performance. What Does Creatine Do? Creatine helps your muscles make quick energy during: Weightlifting Sprinting Short bursts of intense activity It does not directly build muscle by itself — it helps you train harder. 2. What Is Creatinine? Creatinine is a waste product. When your body uses creatine, a small amount turns into creatinine. Creatinine travels in your blood and is removed by your kidneys. Doctors measure creatinine in a blood test to estimate kidney function. Why This Matters If you take creatine supplements: Your blood creatinine level may rise slightly. This does not automatically mean kidney damage. It can simply reflect extra creatine being converted into creatinine. Because of this, always tell your doctor if you take creatine before having lab work done.
