Use in Bodybuilding and Sports

Adenosine Triphosphoric Acid is a nucleoside triphosphate, which is a universal source of energy for all biochemical processes in the body and plays a key role in energy metabolism. ATP is the main carrier of energy within cells. The release of energy occurs through the breakdown of ATP molecules during movement, aimed at contracting muscle fibers.

The molecule’s structure includes three components: Ribose, triphosphate, and adenine. Ribose is at the center of the molecule, with adenine at its end, and triphosphate on the opposite side of ribose. ATP fills myosin, the main component of muscle contractile fibers responsible for muscle cell formation.

Effects:

ATP in muscle tissue is essential for movement and energy exchange, and an insufficient amount can cause weakness and exercise intolerance. The body can completely consume the medication in the first 2-3 seconds of exercise, after which new ATP molecules are produced by the main biochemical systems:

• Phosphagenic system;
• Lactic acid and glycogen system;
• Aerobic breathing.

In bodybuilding, ATP is used to increase endurance, intensity, and workout duration. The main positive effects include reduction of oxygen consumption by the heart muscle, improved blood circulation in coronary vessels, reduced frequency of breathlessness during sports, stimulation of energy metabolism, restoration of magnesium and potassium ions, decrease in uric acid content, and increased cardiac output.

Dosage and Use

Intramuscular injections are administered once a day, 10 mg deep into the muscles of the thigh or buttocks. Mixing the element with lidocaine, novocaine, or other anesthetics is recommended due to pain. Over time, the daily dose can be increased to 20 mg and divided into two 10 mg injections. The cycle of adenosine triphosphoric acid lasts 1-2 months, followed by a two-month break to exclude potential negative effects. The cycle can be repeated if necessary.

Intravenous use is discouraged due to method inefficiency and high risk of side effects such as bradycardia, cardiac arrest, blood pressure drop, heart rhythm disturbances, and skin redness. Intravenous dosage is 10 mg, too small for bodybuilding benefits. ATP use with cardiac glycosides should be avoided to prevent negative consequences.

Contraindications and Side Effects

Prior to medication use, consult a doctor and review recommendations. People with hypersensitivity, acute myocardial infarction, arterial hypotension, and inflammatory lung diseases should not take ATP. Overdosage or allergic reactions may cause side effects:

• Itching and inflammatory skin conditions;
• Headache and dizziness;
• Heart rhythm disruption;
• Increased urine output;
• Increase in blood uric acid;
• Nausea and vomiting;
• Redness of facial skin;
• Weakness and drowsiness.

Negative effects result from the body’s reaction to medication components and usually subside within a week of use.

Storage Terms and Conditions

Store ATP in its original packaging protected from direct sunlight at a temperature range of 3–7°C (on the refrigerator door shelf). Solution shelf life is specified on the package (12 months).
