Creatine
is a small, nitrogen containing molecule that
serves as a storage form of energy in cells.
About 95% of the body's Creatine pools are found
in muscle tissue. Within the muscle, Creatine
is found in two forms; Creatine Phosphate and
free Creatine. Orally ingested Creatine is converted
to Creatine Phosphate within the muscle. Depletion
of existing Creatine Phosphate results in weakened
muscular contractions. Micronized Creatine is
designed to replenish and build Creatine levels
within the body.
When a muscle cell takes in more Creatine, it
also brings water along with it. This promotes
cell volumizing, which creates improved conditions
for new muscle growth. Supplementation with
proper levels of Creatine has been shown to
increase muscle creatine levels and help recycle
the muscle's ultimate energy source, ATP (Adenosine
Triphosphate). ATP is the body's energy source
for muscle contraction. When energy is released,
ATP gives off a free phosphate group and ADP
(Adenosine Diphosphate) is formed. Creatine
then combines with the free phosphate to form
Phosphocreatine, which can recombine the phosphate
with ADP to reform ATP. This recycled ATP is
ready to be utilized for energy again. This
recycling of energy allows longer and more powerful
workouts. |
