How it works
If we look at a related mineral, calcium, it works through two primary mechanisms. First, it supports bone mineralization, meaning it helps deposit minerals into your bone matrix to maintain density and strength. Second, it supports neuromuscular relaxation, helping your muscles relax and your nerves transmit signals properly after contraction [NIH ODS]. For Iron-Tek Creatine Monohydrate specifically, the mechanism of action is not described in the provided data.
