About this deal
Creatine is supposed to be able to increase the production of ATP, which can then be used to fuel muscles.

It looked at levels of muscle phosphocreatine (PCr) and performance between oral creatine supplementation only and a creatine supplement combined with caffeine. While there are no pharmacokinetic interactions between the two substances, and they both elicit benefits on their own pathways, there may be some absorption issues. Check with a qualified healthcare professional if you have known or suspected medical conditions and/or are taking OTC/prescription medication/s.
Creatine is different because it is used only after the creatinine storage is established (the loading dose). However, keep in mind that this notion is deduced from a single study on the effects of caffeine intake on creatine action.BCAA—The branched-chain amino acids comprise leucine, isoleucine, and valine, and are added to pre-workouts, or sometimes taken on their own, to increase the rate of muscle protein synthesis, reduce muscle protein breakdown, reduce exercise-induced muscle damage, and decrease the extent to which you experience DOMS.
