In the muscles, creatine appears as
phosphocreatine, which is not incorporated
into proteins, but it is involved in the synthesis of the energy - storing molecules adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and thus for providing energy to muscles [1].
Although
phosphocreatine is not an energy source in itself, what it does is converts adenosine diphosphate (ADP)
into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which allows it to be used for muscle contraction by your canine.
