Ultimate Nutrition Creatine Product Information
To perform optimally, muscles need energy.
The body provides the energy needed in
situations requiring immediate,
high-intensity actions, as in exercise, in
the form of ATP or adenosine triphosphate.
Since the body has only a limited supply of
ATP, usually lasting only a few seconds of
intense exercise, ATP is continuously
produced to supply energy in order for the
muscles to function. The burst of energy is
produced by the breakdown of ATP when one
phosphate group is released and packs
considerable metabolic energy. The body uses
creatine phosphate to quickly replenish ATP.
The more energy the muscles store, the
better they can perform in events, which
require intense, immediate energy, such as
weightlifting, sprinting, jumping, football,
hockey and soccer. Since creatine is stored
in the muscle as creatine phosphate, intake
of supplemental creatine can increase the
production of energy that enables muscles to
perform at higher intensity. While the body
produces its own supply of creatine, it is
not sufficient to supply the muscle with the
added energy necessary for intense
performance.
The benefits of creatine supplementation for
endurance athletes have been actively
researched. This research has established
that creatine can, in fact, extend endurance
at a relatively high dose of 20 grams per
day. Creatine increases the muscle mass and
muscle girth if taken along with a sustained
exercise regimen. Initially it may also
increase weight due to gain in the muscle
mass. This increase may slow down some
people, especially swimmers. The "slowing
down" may be due to the highly aerobic
nature of this exercise and should be
reversible after sustained exercise.
