Roll Call does not check drug interactions or assess personal safety.
The molecule cells use as their primary energy currency, sold as an oral supplement ingredient, usually as a disodium salt.
Why it’s used
Taken to support muscular energy production and exercise performance, particularly during repeated high-intensity efforts.
What the evidence is for
reducing muscular fatigue during repeated high-intensity exercise sets.
What the evidence says
A small number of controlled trials in resistance-trained individuals have reported that oral ATP supplementation may reduce fatigue in repeated high-intensity sets, though effects on overall strength or power output have been mixed and study numbers are small. Oral ATP is largely broken down in the gut, so proposed mechanisms of action remain debated.
Context
Cited trials generally used ATP supplementation over several weeks in resistance-trained men performing sets to failure; findings on torque fatigue reduction have not been consistently replicated across all outcome measures.
