Description

  • Creatine isn’t just for athletes — it fuels brain function, immune response, and recovery from stress and illness by supporting how your cells make and recycle energy
  • Older adults, vegetarians, and those with brain fog or long COVID are especially likely to benefit from creatine, as natural production and intake often fall short
  • Daily creatine supplementation improves memory, learning, and executive function in aging adults, including those with Alzheimer’s disease
  • When combined with resistance training, creatine helps build lean muscle, speed recovery, and reduce the risk of frailty-related falls and fractures
  • Grass fed red meat is one of the best food sources, but supplementing 3 to 5 grams of creatine monohydrate daily is a safe and effective way to increase levels
