|  | Dietary Supplement. Advanced Creatine Transport Formula. Creatine plays an important role in the transfer of energy. In the muscle it is used to fuel the process of contraction. It is converted to phosphocreatine which is important for short energy bursts needed for sprinting and weightlifting. Depletion of phosphocreatine can result in muscular fatique and fading muscle power. A recent university study has concluded that Creatin Fuel can increase peak power output, mean body mass and muscular performance. This high glycemic index carbohydrate stimulates the release of the anabolic hormone insulin, a potent transporter of creatine into muscle for enhanced creatine update. 1.
