What people are saying
Many discussions delve into the metabolic costs of creatine synthesis, with posts referencing the substantial use of methyl groups and implications for vegetarians and athletes. Words like 'imposes,' 'accounts for,' and references to 'methylation capacity' suggest a serious tone, while some comments reflecting personal experiences, such as hair thinning or supplement choices, show a personal impact perspective.
Most discussions acknowledge the significant metabolic burden of creatine synthesis, emphasizing its importance in amino acid metabolism.
The range of posts shows high curiosity, especially when discussing how creatine synthesis affects methylation and muscle health.
Posts include technical details about amino acids and methyl groups, reflecting moderate to deep engagement with the subject.
The discussions highlight concerns about health, metabolic processes, and implications for dietary choices, indicating a modest but meaningful perceived impact.
Abstract in brief
- Creatine synthesis is essential for replacing creatine lost through conversion to creatinine and excretion in urine, especially as animals grow and their tissues expand.
- The process requires three amino acids (glycine, methionine, arginine) and three enzymes, with significant use of methyl groups from S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), making it a considerable metabolic burden.
- While dietary intake can replace about half of the creatine lost in omnivores, vegetarians depend entirely on endogenous synthesis, which heavily affects the metabolism of methionine and arginine, key amino acids in this process.

@maxlugavere I am homozygous for 3 methylation SNPs (MTHFR C667T, MTRR and SHMT). Per Chris Masterjohn, creatinine synthesis takes up nearly half of a person’s available methylation capacity. Excess creatinine is peed out so take in AM to avoid nighttime urination. https://t.co/AmlMfmvwb7

https://t.co/4P0MJCgaph "Creatine synthesis does not appear to place a major burden on glycine metabolism in adults since this amino acid is readily synthesized."
https://t.co/4P0MJCgaph "However, since dietary creatine is only provided in animal products, principally in meat and fish, virtually all of the creatine loss in vegetarians must be replaced via endogenous synthesis."
https://t.co/4P0MJCgaph "Creatinine loss is lower in females and in older age groups because of lower muscle mass." "Approximately half of this creatine lost to creatinine can be replaced, in omnivorous individuals, by dietary creatine."
https://t.co/4P0MJCgaph "The entire glycine molecule is consumed in creatine synthesis but only the methyl and amidino groups, respectively, from methionine and arginine." "Creatinine loss averages approximately 2 g (14.6 mmol) for 70 kg males in the 20- to 39-year age group."
https://t.co/4P0MJCgaph "Creatine synthesis requires three amino acids: glycine, methionine and arginine, and three enzymes: L-arginine:glycine amidinotransferase (AGAT), methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) and guanidinoacetate methyl-transferase (GAMT)."
https://t.co/4P0MJCgaph "Creatine synthesis is required in adult animals to replace creatine that is spontaneously converted to creatinine and excreted in the urine." "Additionally, in growing animals it is necessary to provide creatine to the expanding tissue mass."

@Rainmaker1973 The daily loss for the average male is 2-3g, so the comparison to 5g is exaggeration. Also, the body makes creative from other amino acids. Glycine is probably the one most people need help with. https://t.co/YP2vtw1OLF

@JylleanS @jason_gutt @jordanbpeterson There is only one main pathway from creatine synthesis, methyltransferase reactions, that is considered to impose a genuinely significant burden on the human body. Creatine production is expected to consume 40% of the S-Adenosyl methionine gained from diet.https://t.co/D6i088C9Dp
