Description
Creatine is one of the most well-researched supplements and has always been considered to be a sports supplement, due to the role it plays in increasing physical performance. But research now suggests that this is an important compound for those outside the traditional “athlete” mold.
Daily creatine consumption can enhance the effect of resistance training on muscle strength in adults over the age of 55**, by supporting muscle protein synthesis pathways. This makes creatine of particular interest for older, active adults, looking to mitigate muscle mass reduction & strength decline.
Vegans and vegetarians may benefit from creatine supplementation, because plant-based diets tend to be lower in creatine. Research suggests that creatine monohydrate may be used for supporting lean mass and muscle strength in both postmenopausal women, and in conjunction with a calorie deficit diet. Additionally, creatine supplementation is increasingly being studied for its effects on short term memory performance.
