from all ive gathered about natural creatine is that most of it we get from animal meats, not so much from are own production

It's producted from arginine and I think a couple other things but you will get only a couple grams at most even with a diet that has meats. The key word is supplement. You use a creatine supplement to increase creatine levels in your body by 5grams or however much you take.
