Nutritional Supplement for Reducing Fatigue & Promoting Cellular Energy
Creatine monohydrate is a substance that is naturally found in the human body and is synthesized in the liver, pancreas, and kidneys from the amino acids arginine, glycine, and methionine with the effect of transaminase.
After its formation, creatine is transported to the muscles with the help of blood, where it is subsequently used in the production of phosphocreatine.
Sufficient intake of creatine from foods, mainly meat derivatives, is a prerequisite for its endogenous formation. However, the storage capacity of the muscles is relatively limited, so the amount of creatine constantly decreases with intense exercise.
Creatine is a popular supplement for athletes and sports enthusiasts due to its ability to function as an energy reservoir, especially during intense physical activity. In exercises of short duration with maximum intensity, the body breaks down adenosine triphosphate (ATP) into adenosine diphosphate (ADP) to produce energy. Creatine causes the reverse mechanism (ADP ⇾ ATP) thereby increasing short-term endurance and muscle strength.
Creatine can also be utilized by cells in the form of phosphocreatine.
Micronized creatine monohydrate powder has many advantages over other creatine monohydrate powders.
Smaller particle size means greater surface area, allowing for better mixing and faster absorption. NOW Sports creatine monohydrate is 100% pure and contains no additives or preservatives.
