ATP

Adenosinetriphosphate is an organic composition, a universal source of the energy for all metabolic process in organism. It’s made by the disengagement chemical energy from individual components of food, mostly carbohydrates and fats, sometimes proteins as well.

This energy is concurrent stored in chemical bond ATP in the case of immediate disposition.

It’s used for:

synthesis of body components ( proteins, fats and glycogen)

mechanical work ( contractions of muscles)

conduction of nerve stirs

transportation of individual substances through the cell membranes

Production of ATP is advanced because of physical hard action and because of deficient receiving of food (glycogen, fats and proteins).
Production of ATP from body proteins causes decomposition of muscular mass. Therefore the quality of food enriched by nourishing supplements is very important for sportsmen.
