Can Creatine Help Older Adults Keep Their Muscles Strong?

The Potential Usefulness of Creatine for Older Adults to Maintain Muscle Mass

With aging, maintaining muscle mass can be challenging. Creatine, a safe and natural supplement, has emerged as a beneficial aid in preserving muscle mass. It is known to enhance energy production, particularly adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is crucial for muscle function and high-intensity exercise. Creatine supplementation can lead to increased muscle cell volumization, a rise in IGF-1 levels, and the stimulation of protein synthesis, all contributing to muscle mass preservation and growth.
