【ABOUT CREATINE】
Creatine is a nitrogen-containing organic acid naturally found in vertebrates. It is synthesized in the liver, pancreas, and kidneys from three amino acids — glycine, arginine, and methionine. Creatine helps enhance muscle mass and strength, as well as repair and accelerate recovery.

▲The body’s main source of energy is adenosine triphosphate (ATP). When ATP releases energy, it loses one phosphate group and becomes adenosine diphosphate (ADP).
 This process releases energy for muscle contraction or other activities.
 Creatine in the muscles can be converted into creatine phosphate, which acts as an “energy reserve.” When the body needs quick energy, creatine phosphate donates its phosphate group to ADP to regenerate ATP, allowing the muscles to continue producing energy rapidly.
