Creatine is a fundamental component for energy production in muscles, increasing their performance capacity. It is found in small quantities in meat and in plant products. Its ruling follows the ruling of imported meats. It is permissible if it is derived from non-meat sources or from permissible meats, or if it is from impermissible meats but has undergone a complete transformation (istihalah) from its origin. Anything other than that is forbidden.
