Simply
speaking, creatine increases the energy of your muscles.
It does this by increasing the amount of ATP. Because your
strength depends on ATP, supplementing creatine enhances
your strength. In a more detailed description, ATP is the
initial fuel for your muscle contractions. (ATP stands for
adenosine triphosphate.)
The ATP provides energy by releasing a phosphate molecule,
and it then becomes ADP (adenosine diphosphate). |
