Despite the similar name, Creatinol-O-Phosphate (COP) is not creatine. While compounds share structural similarities, they are different compounds with different effects. COP is now gaining traction as an ergogenic aid that may be useful for athletes and bodybuilders.
What does Creatinol-O-Phosphate do?
- Supports increases in strength*
- Acts as an intracellular buffer to help clear lactic acid which can limit performance during training.*
- Promotes improved performance by increasing anaerobic glycolysis.*
- Supports recovery.*
How should I use Creatinol-O-Phosphate?
COP is approximately 60% bioavailable and thus a dosage of approximately 2g per day should provide an effective oral dose.
While COP has a similar name to creatine, it acts differently than creatine to support performance, strength, and enhance recovery.* In fact, it may actually be useful as an adjunct to enhance the ergogenic effects of creatine!
