Creatine is a staple for an active lifestyle

More Than a "Sports Supplement"

Creatine Benefits Older Men and Women

Creatine monohydrate is a staple in every active lifestyle, and for good reason! One of the most clinically studied forms of creatine supplements, the buzz-worthy amino acid derivative, is well-known for helping improve lean muscle mass, increase exercise performance and promote faster exercise recovery.

Not surprisingly, bodybuilders and gym-goers alike turn to creatine supplements to complement their diets with this sought-after muscle-friendly nutrient. Emerging research shows that creatine has a positive effect on strength and muscle performance in older adults and in peri- and post-menopausal women, especially when combined with regular exercise. What's more, a community-based survey published in Nutrients found that about a third of non-athletes report current or past use of creatine, suggesting that creatine benefits may be accessible even if you are not a prolific athlete.¹

That's why Creatine Powder now joins Life Extension's fitness and active lifestyle lineup. Best of all, every serving delivers the gold standard dosage of 5 g for exercise performance!

Support muscle strength and stamina

Creatine can help support strong muscles

The liver and kidneys make creatine from the amino acids arginine, glycine and methionine, and it's primarily stored in muscle cells, where it's crucial in ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production, the cells' preferred source of energy. Creatine circulates throughout the body as free creatine and creatine phosphate, ready to be used by muscle (and other) cells when it's needed, but levels decline as we age.

So, in addition to supporting strong muscles, creatine helps supply muscle cells with a steady supply of energy, especially when engaging in activities that require physical effort, such as weightlifting or rearranging heavy furniture, providing that extra oomph the body needs to perform and recover faster.

Numerous clinical studies also show that benefits to upper and lower body muscle strength, physical performance and body composition are generally seen after 12 weeks of consistent creatine supplementation, especially when combined with resistance training and a balanced diet.
