Discover the Top 5 Benefits of Daily Creatine Supplementation for Seniors.
5 ways studies have shown it can help.
Enhancing brain health – creatine has been shown to
improve cognitive function in older adults that require quick thinking and memory recall. Studies have also shown
creatine can improve stress resilience, mental fatigue and depression.
Boost energy and reduce fatigue - Creatine helps the
body to increase ATP which provides a boost of energy. This allows for more
energy to exercise and recover quicker.
Preserving muscle mass -creatine can slow the natural
loss of muscle mass that can lead to conditions such as sarcopenia. Sarcopenia is
the gradual loss of muscle mass, strength and function that commonly affects
people aged 60 and older. A decrease in the number and size of muscle fibres cause
your muscles to thin (muscle atrophy). This can result in a loss of stamina, poor
balance leading to falls, which can potentially result in broken bones due to
the loss of bone density.
Improving bone health - Studies have shown that
combining creatine with some
resistance training might also play a role in keeping bones
stronger for longer, Helping to prevent fractures and breaks from falls.
Supporting recovery -creatine's function in the body
is to repair cells. It can help speed up recovery from exercise and injury.
I loved these protein bars, they were a great post work up pick me up. The combination of protein and creatine gave me an energy boost without the jitters.
Fed up with taking creatine in a shake, bought for lunch. Just tried the blueberry, good size, chewy and yummy! Will definitely buy again.
I have been buying this for a while now and wanted to say how great it tastes and is easy to make. I am feel I do have more energy after taking creatine for a few weeks now.

What is Creatine?
Creatine is a naturally occurring compound found in our
muscles. It is made-up from three amino acids arginine, glycine and methionine.
Our body does produce it but you can also get it some foods like red meat and
fish or through supplementation which is what most people opt for. It is
especially useful for vegetarians and vegans.
Creatine helps produce ATP( adenosine triphosphate) Which is
what our cells need to produce energy.
It is an inexpensive and safe dietary supplement that can
benefit older adults and can be taken long time.
As with any supplement it is advisable to consult your
doctor to determine if creatine well best serve your health needs.
Before I buy, are there any side-effects?
Whilst creatine is considered safe, some may experience side
effects including;
Stomach cramps
Digestive issues (if taken on an empty stomach
Water retention (if insufficient water is taken during the day)
Dehydration (if insufficient water is taken during the day)
What is the recommended dosage?
It is recommended that 3-5 grams a day will give noticeable
benefits without causing adverse effects.
Who should not take creatine?
People with kidney issues
People with pre-existing liver conditions
Pregnant or breast-feeding women
People taking diuretics
What is Resistance Training?
Resistance training can help
maintain muscle mass and strength. Also known as strength or weight training it causes muscles to contract against an external resistance. This resistance can be provided by weights, resistance
bands, or even body weight.
When performed regularly, resistance training stimulates
muscle protein synthesis, which is crucial for muscle growth and repair. It also enhances neuro muscular efficiency, improves bone density, and supports
overall metabolic health.
Combining resistance training with adequate nutrition,
including sufficient protein intake, and creatine can further enhance muscle preservation and growth. Allow for adequate rest and recovery, as this is when the body repairs and builds muscle tissue.
