Creatine is an organic acid that is found naturally in the human body and is used for many aspects in biological functioning.  The colloquially known effect of creatine is its skeletal muscle hypertrophic effect and endurance enhancing properties commonly employed by athletes.  Numerous studies have been conducted on the effects of creatine in a multitude of different applications, including collagen and pro-collagen formation.  In this study, we are determining if a salt compound can be made out of creatine and folate or folic acid, the solubility of this compound and how quickly it degrades.  These studies will help determine the usefulness of such a synthetic product and if it has any application in cosmetics.  Variations in pH and temperature will be used to determine solubility and degradation.<br/>
