Pure creatine monohydrate, a precursor to creatine phosphate, which is necessary to fuel muscle contractions. When used as directed, creatine can significantly increase endurance and reduce muscle fatigue. Since very small quantities of ATP are stored within the muscle cell, it must constantly be replenished. When high concentrations of creatine phosphate are present, the body can quickly release the large amounts of ATP needed to sustain muscular contractions.
Creatine phosphate is also involved in the transfer of energy within the muscle cell.
ATP, produced in the mitochondria from the aerobic metabolism of fats and carbohydrates, must be transported to the site of muscular contraction. Thereafter, use 1-2 teaspoons twice daily.
