The ATP being used usually lasts 10 - 15 seconds. Therefore increased amounts of creatine will allow the body to supply ATP at a faster rate. Which, in turn allows an individual to workout longer and maintain a high level of strength. Red meats give 1 gram of creatine per large serving. These increased amounts of creatine slow the possibility of fatigue.
Creatine promotes the synthesis of protein, which promotes muscle growth.
The load should then be reduced after a week to no more than IO grams per day. This is what most of the stores that sell the creatine will tell vou because there aim is to sell the product. Since the product has been proven to work many people are going to follow the routine, when in fact loading is not necessary. The Journal of Applied Physiology published a study to determine the importance of a loading phase of creatine. In the study four separate groups were used and each group was given a different amount of creatine.
