How does Creatine work?Updated 18 days ago
Creatine works by helping your muscles produce energy during intense exercise. When you exercise vigorously in short bursts, your muscles use a molecule called ATP for energy. As your muscles work, ATP breaks down, and its energy is used up. That's where creatine comes in – it's stored in your muscle cells as creatine phosphate. This creatine phosphate donates a phosphate back to the used ATP, helping to quickly regenerate it so you can maintain energy during your workout. By supplementing with creatine, you're essentially boosting the creatine phosphate levels in your muscles. This means you have more phosphate available to keep regenerating ATP. As a result, you can enjoy increased endurance, strength, and muscle mass, as your muscles have more sustained energy during those intense exercise sessions.
