Creatine Edge is an effervescent that is quickly absorbed
into the bloodstream from the small intestine. (Other
creatine supplements enter the stomach as solids, resulting
in intestinal and stomach discomfort, limited absorption
and excretion of about 65% of the creatine as a waste
product.)
Creatine is carried in the bloodstream to the skeletal
muscles. Muscles use a substance called ATP for the
energy to contract. Continued exertion causes muscle
fatigue as ATP breaks down into ADP.
In the muscles, creatine refuels exhausted muscles
by helping to convert ADP back to ATP. Large reserves
of phosphocreatine delay muscle fatigue and speed muscle
recovery.
Large Creatine reserves delay muscle fatigue and speed
muscle recovery. In addition, muscle cells hold more
water, causing muscles to grow in size as well as strength.
Some studies show a decrease in body fat in athletes
who use creatine.
