Creatine is a popular supplement among athletes because of its ability to replenish ATP (adenosine triphosphate) stores within the muscle. During intense physical activity, the muscles use ATP as their primary energy source. Creatine helps the body convert the by-products of energy production back into ATP, providing greater amounts of ATP for energy for increased power and endurance. For bodybuilders, Creatine has the added benefit of ?volumising? the muscles. Tri-Creatine Malate is a new and revolutionary form of Creatine bonded to the high-energy molecule Malic Acid. This type of Creatine is believed to be much more easily absorbed than the old ?low-tech? Creatines (i.e. Creatine Monohydrate) and requires no loading, and no sugars to enhance uptake by the muscles. As an added bonus, the Malic Acid in TCM is a high-energy substance in it?s own right, capable of increasing energy and reducing recovery times. Body Ripped?s TCM contains only 100% pure pharmaceutical grade Tri-Creatine Malate.
