| Creatine: Not the supplement you thought it was |
You might think creatine is only for gym rats looking for massive gains, but there's more to it than that. It also benefits:
- literally anyone who wants more muscle mass (women lose it faster than men with age)
- older adults who want to improve cognition and focus
- vegans who lack creatine from their diet
|
| And, while more research is needed in these areas, it may also benefit people with diabetes and people fighting fatigue and sleep deprivation. |
| Creatine is for the young and the aging, the body and the brain, the gym rat and the couch potato (though research suggests it’s better when paired with exercise — so, sedentary is still not in fashion). |
| If you take nothing else from this, let it be that creatine is not the supplement we all thought it was. The potential benefits may surprise you. |
| It’s not, however, for anyone with kidney disease or those who are pregnant or nursing — always talk with your trusted healthcare professional first. |
| Given its array of benefits, we’ve tested a lot of creatine. Our medical integrity team has reviewed and vetted. Our dietitians have analyzed the ingredient labels. We’ve taste-tested. A select few brands stand out. Check them out. |
