Creatine is an amino acid found throughout the body (particularly in muscle and brain tissue), where it is stored as phosphocreatine and used for energy (ATP) production.
About
A large portion of the creatine our body requires comes from the consumption of seafood, meat and dairy products. This means that vegans and vegetarians may have lower levels of creatine in their muscle and brain tissue than those who consume meat and dairy products.
Oral supplementation with creatine can support athletic performance & recovery, healthy (lean) muscle mass and brain health.
Health Benefits
Creatine supplementation supports the following key areas as we age:
Healthy muscle mass
Healthy bone density
Healthy brain energy (via ATP production)
Healthy inflammatory response
Skin health
Physical performance
The international society of sports nutrition recently concluded that creatine monohydrate supplementation is the most efficient nutritional supplement available to athletes to support high intensity exercise capacity and healthy lean body mass during training.
Creatine also plays a role in supporting healthy muscle mass as we age (especially in the legs) and combined with exercise is a good strategy to remain robust and durable.
Muscle Recovery
Creatine plays an important role in supporting muscle recovery and repair.
Brain Health
Studies suggest that creatine can support brain health, mental clarity and memory (especially in older adults).
Bone Health
Creatine supplementation may support healthy skeletal muscle and bone mineral density as we age.
