And creatine phosphate is able to help rapidly recycle that so you can make energy quicker.
Very relevant for a lot of scenarios, including high-intensity interval training, resistance training, even endurance training because it decreases recovery time because you're recycling that ATP.
So it's really relevant for a lot of scenarios.
And we do make creatine endogenously.
That's another thing where it's like, this is a molecule that we make in our body.
It's not like a dangerous thing that I'm really scared of.
We make about one to two grams in our liver.
Our livers make about one to two grams a day.
And then we can take in another, depending on how much meat we eat.
Meat is the major source of dietary source of creatine.
