\"Creatine\"<\/p>\n

\n
THE INDEPENDENCE SUPPLEMENT. \"👴\"<\/span>\"🏋️‍♀️\"<\/span> When you hear “Creatine,” you think of gym bros. You should be thinking of your grandmother.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The #1 threat to independence after age 60 is Sarcopenia (involuntary loss of muscle mass). Weak muscles = Poor balance = Falls = Fractures.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The Science: Creatine Monohydrate helps aging muscles retain water and energy (ATP). A meta-analysis in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise found that elderly people taking creatine gained more muscle mass and strength from daily activities than those who didn’t. But surprisingly, it also helps Bones. Creatine enhances cellular energy in osteoblasts (bone builders), helping to maintain density in menopausal women.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Dose: 3 to 5 grams (1 teaspoon) daily.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
