Mitochondrial function and energy production
Detailed Analysis
Taking Creatine and Potassium Phosphate together may affect how your body uses energy. High levels of Potassium Phosphate can reduce the benefits of Creatine on mitochondrial respiration. This might lead to decreased energy production in your cells. Potassium phosphate concentrations impact creatine's effects on mitochondrial respiration and creatine phosphate synthesis by altering the Km of coupled reactions for ADP. This means that high phosphate levels can make it harder for creatine to help your cells produce energy. ADP is a molecule that helps cells make energy.
