(2) Creatine:
Creatine is found naturally in animal tissue, and as a result, those who are vegetarians will have a lower intake of natural Creatine. Because of this, Creatine supplements seem to be a logical step for individuals who follow vegetarian or vegan diets.

(6) Some factors which could impact the effect of Creatine include, the amount of Creatine already stored in the muscles of Vegetarians/ Vegans/ Omnivores, and how long the individual has been following there specific diet.
(7) It was observed that at the 6-month mark, Creatine was almost completely washed out of the system for vegetarians/ vegans, and so at this point, it may be most beneficial to start taking-on supplements.
(8) Overall, Creatine supplements can be beneficial for those who have low-levels of natural Creatine, and typically this is the Vegetarian/ Vegan community.
