Episode notes
Creatine Is Your Muscle And Brain Backup Battery
- Creatine is a naturally made compound that acts as a quick energy reserve for muscle and brain.
- About 95% of the body's creatine goes to muscle and the rest to the brain to help recharge ATP.
Aging Shrinks Your Internal Creatine Supply
- Aging reduces the body's ability to make creatine, causing shortfalls for muscle and brain energy.
- Seniors often fail to eat enough creatine-rich foods and therefore benefit from supplementation.
Take 3–5 g Daily Of Creatine Monohydrate
- Eat red meat and certain fish to get dietary creatine, but most seniors won't reach 3–5 g/day from food alone.
- Supplement with 3–5 grams daily of creatine monohydrate as a simple, well-researched maintenance dose.
