Creatine increases strength, muscle mass, and performance by increasing high energy compounds (ATP/CP) within muscle allowing for greater strength and recuperation from high intensity exercise. In addition to optimizing the ATP/CP pathway, Creatine increases intra cellular fluid within muscle cells which is an anabolic stimulus that increases protein synthesis of contractile proteins. Creatine is the most researched sports supplement on earth and should be a staple supplement in any athlete's diet.
