Episode notes
Creatine Improves Artery Flexibility
- Creatine improves artery flexibility in older adults within four weeks, enhancing blood flow and reducing cardiovascular risk.
- Improved artery flexibility was measured by better Flow-Mediated Dilation, indicating healthier arterial function.
Creatine Lowers Blood Sugar and Fats
- Creatine lowers fasting blood sugar levels and significantly reduces triglycerides without exercise or diet changes.
- These metabolic improvements occur solely by adding creatine to the daily routine.
How Creatine Supports Arteries
- Creatine supports artery health by sparing arginine used for nitric oxide production, which keeps vessels flexible.
- It also provides steady energy (ATP) to blood vessels, helping pumps regulate blood flow and oxygen delivery.
