Creatinol-o-Phosphate
Creatinol-o-Phosphate (COP) is a synthetic analogue of creatine that is used as a dietary supplement. It is believed to enhance athletic performance and improve cardiovascular health. COP is a compound that helps to prolong anaerobic glycolysis, which is the process by which the body produces energy during high-intensity exercise.
COP has been shown to have several benefits, including:
- Improved athletic performance: COP has been shown to increase endurance and reduce fatigue during high-intensity exercise.
- Cardiovascular health: COP has been found to have anti-ischemic and anti-arrhythmic activities associated with improved ionic balance and heart performance.
Case Studies
There are several case studies that have been conducted on the benefits of COP. One study found that COP supplementation improved endurance and reduced fatigue during high-intensity exercise. Another study found that COP had anti-ischemic and anti-arrhythmic activities associated with improved ionic balance and heart performance.
Dosage and Potential Side Effects
The recommended dosage for COP is two grams (a little less than one teaspoon) mixed in at least eight ounces of water and consumed daily. There is currently no bioavailability data on how much is absorbed, but if it is 100% then this is the dose used in past studies.
COP is generally considered safe when taken in recommended doses. However, some people may experience side effects such as stomach upset, nausea, or diarrhea.
