CREATINE

convert Creatine Phosphate and elevates ATP levels in the body encouraging energy burst and providing sustained energy to carry out the intense activity without being fatigued.

The amount of ATP stored in the muscle will only fuel a maximum effort such as lifting a weight for 10 to 15 seconds. After that, the muscle must rely on creatine phosphate to restock its supply of ATP. Creatine is a nitrogenous organic acid produced in the liver that helps supply energy to cells all over the body – particularly muscle cells. It is made out of three amino acids: L-arginine, glycine, and L-methionine. Creatine buffers the development of lactic acid allowing for a more enduring workout.
