Creatine Monohydrate Powder

Creatine Monohydrate is a compound that is naturally made in our bodies to supply energy to our muscles. Creatine is formed from the amino acids arginine, methione, and glycine through an involved chemical process. Creatine is manufactured in the liver and may also be produced in the pancreas and kidneys. It is transported in the blood and taken up by muscle cells, where it is converted to creatine phosphate, also called "phosphocreatine." This reaction involves the enzyme creatine kinase which helps bond creatine to a high-energy phosphate group. Once the creatine is bound to a phosphate group, it is permanently stored in a cell as phosphocreatine until it is used to produce chemical energy called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a multifunctional nucleotide that is most important as a "molecular currency" of intracellular energy transfer. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) transports chemical energy within cells for metabolism. Keywords: Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), Adenosine triphosphate,ATP . Once this is done, creatine can be released to spontaneously form creatinine, which is then removed from the blood via the kidneys and excreted in the urine. In order to increase athletic performance and boost lean body mass, creatine must be taken in concentrations which are not reasonably obtained from a whole food diet.
