Creatine monohydrate（Cat No.:I017911） is a naturally occurring amino acid derivative that plays a crucial role in cellular energy metabolism, particularly in tissues with high energy demands such as muscles and the brain. It functions as a reservoir of high-energy phosphate groups, replenishing adenosine triphosphate (ATP) stores during intense physical activity or energy-demanding processes. By donating phosphate groups, creatine monohydrate supports the synthesis of ATP, which serves as the primary energy source for cellular functions. This makes creatine monohydrate an essential component for maintaining optimal energy levels and supporting performance in muscle and brain tissues.
