    How It WorksIncreases phosphocreatine stores in muscles, enabling faster ATP regeneration during high-intensity exercise. Also acts as an osmolyte, drawing water into muscle cells and upregulating mTOR signaling..Increases phosphocreatine stores in muscles, enabling faster ATP regeneration during high-intensity exercise.
