Creatine is an amino acid derivative that is popularly consumed by athletes and physical activity practitioners, especially those who practice high intensity and short duration modalities. The aim of this study was to review the importance of creatine supplementation and its benefits for male athletes and exercisers. This is an integrative literature review, using the following databases: Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), National Library of Medicine (Pubmed), Virtual Health Library (BVS), Google Scholar (Google Scholar), in the languages Portuguese and English, with articles published in the last ten years. Comparative analysis of studies demonstrated that creatine supplementation increases intramuscular creatine concentrations, improving high-intensity exercise performance and also plays an important role in preventing and reducing the severity of injuries, helping athletes and physical exercise practitioners to tolerate intense training. It was concluded that in individuals who practice regular physical exercises and athletes, creatine is a substance that helps to increase muscle mass. Creatine supplementation at the proper dosage has been shown to be effective in significantly increasing endurance, energy, hypertrophy and physical activity performance to achieve the desired effect.
