Proteins are essential nutrients for the human body.

They are one of the building blocks of body tissue, and can also serve as a fuel source.

As a fuel, proteins provide as much energy density as carbohydrates: 4 kcal (17 kJ) per gram; in contrast, lipids provide 9 kcal (37 kJ) per gram.

The most important aspect and defining characteristic of protein from a nutritional standpoint is its amino acid composition.

Creatine (or) is a nitrogenous organic acid that occurs naturally in vertebrates.

Its main role is to facilitate recycling of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of the cell, primarily in muscle and brain tissue.

This is achieved by recycling adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to ATP via donation of phosphate groups.

Creatine also acts as a pH buffer in tissues.

A vitamin is an organic compound and a vital nutrient that an organism requires in limited amounts.

An organic chemical compound (or related set of compounds) is called a vitamin when the organism cannot synthesize the compound in sufficient quantities, and it must be obtained through the diet; thus, the term vitamin is conditional upon the circumstances and the particular organism.

For example, ascorbic acid (one form of vitamin C) is a vitamin for humans, but not for most other animal organisms.

Supplementation is important for the treatment of certain health problems, but there is little evidence of nutritional benefit when used by otherwise healthy people.

Sports Nutrition is the study and practice of nutrition and diet with regards to a person's athletic performance.

Nutrition is an important part of many sports training regimens, being most popular in strength sports (such as weight lifting and bodybuilding) and endurance sports (e.g. cycling, running, swimming, rowing).

Sports Nutrition focuses its studies on the type, as well as the quantity of fluid and food taken by an athlete.

In addition, it deals with the consumption of nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, supplements and organic substances that include carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
