Ingredient
ATP (Adenosine 5'-Triphosphate)
Research dose
400 mg
Evidence: Weak Taken before training: what counts is the amount in the serving you take.
Trials gave 400 mg (as PeakATP), taken before training or daily for weeks. A meta-analysis of 5 trials in trained men found more maximal strength but no change in repetitions or power, and one single-dose trial found no strength gain.
