creatine monohydrate benefits

Creatine supplies energy to your muscles. Many people take creatine supplements to build strength and promote brain health. Creatine supplements are safe for most people to take, but you should first talk to a healthcare provider to ensure they’re right for you.

It depends. Studies show that regularly taking creatine, weightlifting and exercising can help increase muscle growth in people 18 to 30 years old. However, there isn’t enough research to say that creatine helps develop muscle growth in people older than 65 or people with diseases that affect their muscles.

Why do people take creatine supplements?

Many amateur and professional athletes take creatine supplements to aid their workout routines and improve their recovery. Creatine creates “quick burst” energy and increased strength, which improves your performance without affecting your ability to exercise for longer periods (aerobic endurance).

Most athletes who take creatine supplements participate in power sports, including:

• Bodybuilding.
• Football.
• Hockey.
• Wrestling.

In addition, studies suggest that creatine supplements may help brain function in people 60 and older. This includes:

• Short-term memory.
• Reasoning.
• Neuroprotection (keeping groups of nerve cells safe from injury or damage).

Researchers are still studying whether creatine supplements may help people with cognitive (mental) conditions, including dementia.

Talk to a healthcare provider before taking creatine supplements, regardless of your level of physical fitness, age or health.

Are creatine supplements recommended for athletes?

Many athletes use creatine supplements. Professional sports organizations, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) all allow athletes to use creatine supplements.

Men and women report benefits to using creatine. But some studies note that women may not gain as much strength or muscle mass as men.
