Protein is made up of amino acids and is the building block of muscles. Protein is important in the recovery stage of muscle growth.....Creatine is a substance in the body responsible for the production of ATP. Simply put, ATP is responsible for providing muscles with the explosive kind of energy that can help you get in more reps and and added weights. Although creatine is natural in foods, the average human only gets about 1g of creatine each day. That is why people supplement creatine.
As far as protein it is recommended that you take in about .8 g - 1.2 g of protein per pound of body weight every day. This will ensure adequate protein intake. This is also why protein shakes are so great because without them you have to eat ALOT of meat to get enough protein.
