"I have to get bigger and stronger" ever since sports have evolved there has been a big emphasis on the size of an athlete, and let's face it not everone is gifted enough to be born with the size that is needed to be a successful athlete. There are many solutions to this problem one is to work hard in the weight room and eat foods that enquire an abundance of protien, however this may take many years to get the results one wishes for.

We get Creatine from the foods we eat and our body produces around 120 grams.(creatine-only.com) Asmall amount of creatine can be found in protien rich foods such as fish and chicken. When an athlete takes a creatine supplement it puts more creatine in the body that can be used as energy.
             What does creatine do when taken? The first thing creatine gives us is extra energy for our muscles. In our bodies there is a compound called ATP, which is a body that contains energy. The human body has other sources of energy but those sources take longer to convert into useable energy. When doing an activity that requires a fast burst of energy, your mescles need a quick burst of energy,that energy comes from ATP. The downfall of ATP is we only have enough to last about 10 to 15 seconds of work. When ATP is used it turns into ADP which is useless to our bodies. When creatine is used it stores in muscles and bonds with extra phosphorus in the muscle and it is converted into creatine phosphate of CP. When the CP and useless ADP combine it turns back into the ATP and gives you more energy to fuel you
