Creatine
is a natural substance found in the body that plays a very powerful
role in energy metabolism.
Oral supplementation of creatine monohydrate has been
shown to increase the re-synthesis of ATP (adenosine triphosphate from
ADP (adenosine diphosphate)) during muscle contractions.
ATP is the molecule the muscle cells burn during muscle
contractions. When the energy is released from the ATP molecule it
drops off a phosphate, becoming ADP. Creatine combines with a
phosphate to the ADP molecule reforming ATP.
The re-synthesized ATP molecule is then ready to be
utilized for energy again. Because the body only stores an 8-12 second
supply of ATP, it is very important to increase the creatine pool and
maximize the ATP-ADP phosphate shuttle.
The result is more explosive muscular contractions,
increased stamina and endurance, greater intensity and less muscular
fatigue which delivers more muscle size and strength.

synthetic source of creatine in crystalline form.
