Creatine
Monohydrate
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 resynthesis of ATP (andenosine triphosphate)
from ADP (andenosine diphosphate) during muscle contractions. ATP is the
molecule the muscle cells burn during muscle contraction. When the energy
is released from the ATP molecule it drops off a phosphate, thus becoming
ADP.
Creatine combines with a phosphate molecule forming a phosphocreatine
molecule, which delivers the phosphate to the ADP molecule reforming ATP.
This resynthesized 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.
