Tune in to learn more about this powerful supplement and whether it can help you age gracefully!

Here are some key takeaways from the sources that support the description:

Creatine plays a vital role in cellular metabolism, especially during high-energy demand. It can enhance anaerobic energy capacity and decrease protein breakdown, leading to increased muscle mass and physical performance.

A systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) has shown that creatine supplementation, particularly when combined with resistance training, can improve muscle strength in older women. Notably, significant gains in muscle strength were observed when the intervention lasted for at least 24 weeks.

Creatine may also help maintain muscle mass during weight loss and potentially contribute to fat loss in older adults. This could be a helpful strategy for managing adult-onset obesity.

While creatine supplementation is generally considered safe, potential side effects like dehydration, upset stomach, and muscle cramps have been reported. It's recommended to consult a physician before starting any new supplement regimen, especially if you have any underlying health conditions.
