Creatine is naturally found in our bodies and is created by amino acids. It works as a fast acting energy storage in the muscle cell, for short-term and explosive muscular work. It is stored in the muscle cell where it binds to phosphate – which is why it is named creatine phosphate. When we perform a muscular work where the energy requirement is large, creatine phosphate works by stepping in as a substitute for ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is our preferred source of energy to this particular type of muscle work that is short and intense. ATP is a source of energy that runs out fast, and here is the explanation of why creatine can benefit you;
