Creatine, anhydrous is a form of creatine from which the water molecule has been removed. Creatine plays a role in the production of energy within cells, particularly in muscle tissue. It functions by increasing the formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy carrier in cells. Creatine acts by donating a phosphate group to adenosine diphosphate (ADP), forming ATP, which can then be used as a source of energy for muscle contractions. Creatine also helps to buffer the buildup of lactic acid in muscles during intense exercise, delaying the onset of muscle fatigue. Creatine may increase the water content within muscle cells, leading to improved muscle hydration and potentially enhancing muscle size and strength. Its mechanism of action involves increasing the availability of ATP and promoting muscle energy metabolism, ultimately supporting physical performance during high-intensity, short-duration activities.
