What Is Creatine?

Creatine is a naturally occurring supplement used to boost athletic performance. Creatine is usually stored as phosphocreatine in muscles. During exercise, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is broken down to produce energy. The rate of ATP resynthesis limits your ability to continually perform at maximum intensity. Phosphocreatine aids the formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

It’s not only safe but also one of the world’s most popular and effective supplements for building muscle and strength

This is the primary mechanism behind creatine’s performance-enhancing effect. 

Is it proven?

In one study of a 6-week training regimen, participants who used creatine added 4.4 pounds (2 kg) more muscle mass, on average, than the control group.
