Creatine increases the body’s ability to produce energy rapidly. With more energy, you can train harder and more often, producing faster results. Research shows that creatine is most effective in high-intensity training and explosive activities. This includes weight training and sports that require short bursts of effort, such as sprinting, football, and baseball. Creatine is an amazing compound that the body uses to actually recycle ATP energy! In many ways, this action is what makes the phosphagen system so great. Instead of relying upon the production of more ATP energy, the phosphagen system, leveraging creatine, actually takes ADP (used ATP) and converts it back to ATP! This has many advantages including increased muscular concentration time (or TUT – Time Under Tension), allowing you to work out harder before muscle failure. With ordinary creatine supplements, the low pH level (below 6.9) allows for the almost immediate conversion of creatine into creatinine. This is why you have to "load" on traditional creatines: your body is only able to absorb a small fraction of the total creatine you are ingesting! In order to reach any appreciable level of creatine, you have to take high amounts over long periods of time.
