Creatine is used to help ATP (tri as in 3) stores and mostly for after you go to failure it will convert to ADP (di as in 2), to convert ADP back to ATP (using creatine) so you have more fuel for the muscle.

I think one gets about 3 grams a day with natural sources.
That is why you dont need 10 grams as that is twice as much as you can store and you already have some in storage.
yeah i read a study only the other day that states that the body produces between 1g and 3g of creatine depending on the concentration of red meat and certain fished in the daily diet.
Hackskii & Ian - is grapefruit juice really the best thing to take with creatine mono? How about OJ or Cranberry juice?

Also i was under the impression that you can take cee powder with anything....or whilst we are on the subject is it more beneficial to take it with a specific bevy...or am i being a complete yogurt top?...i understand that you dont need anything sugary like with mono...after all thats one of the main benefits of the extra ester, im just curious if it is possible to improve the efficiency of the supplement. This read realy badly... i sound like im having a tin bath. Sry.
