    I'm a 75-year-old guy whose aversion to athletics steered me to regular resistance training in my early 20s. These days that means about an hour on a Total Gym two or three times week. In other words, I'm VERY familiar with my 'normal' exercise capabilities. When I started taking 5g of creatine about a year ago my reps suddenly increased dramatically...doubled in some cases. I don't look or feel different but I have zero doubt it's a meaningful improvement at this point in my life.

      I'm seventy two and thirty-two years ago an immunologist suggested I stop eating vegetables. It changed my life. He also told me to stop eating cheese. So now, yes all these years later, I'm healthier and fitter at seventy-two than I was then. Living on animal products only. I discovered the many toxins and chemicals in vegetables. It changed my life.

    Segue Last week, I had gum surgery and a bone graft in preparation for an implant. I am sure the reason for my not being aware of the growing infection, was that my vegan diet was holding it at bay....no pain! Anyway, I had the surgery, and the periodontist was
    about to write me a script for antibiotics. I told him that as I was on a clean plant based diet, I wouldn't require them. He said, " Okay, call me if you run into problems. Less than 1 week later, most of the swelling has gone down, and the site is healing nicely. By the way, I rinsed with tea tree oil and warm water. So people, THIS DIET WORKS!

    Creatine does make a difference. This year I’ve been doing a physically demanding job and a lot of weekend work as well and had been getting really tired and aching more then usual and not recovering after having a full weekend off. I gave creatine a try because it’s safe and if it didn’t work I’d look elsewhere. After a few days my energy levels went through the roof and I was recovering after days off. So I’ll be keep supplementing with it. Also I’m an older guy in my 50’s.

    Creatine does give a modest (~5%) strength boost (and an even smaller muscle gain percentage) but even that goes away soon after you stop taking it, so unless you want to take it lifelong for a small gain, it’s not terribly useful for non-athletes.

      It also bloats my face even though everyone says it only holds water inside the muscles. I’ve tested it several times and my significant other can notice my face is more round and puffy on creatine. Not worth it.

    Hi Doc! Was initially confused by email where "creatinine" was apparently substituted for "creatine." If you need quick proofread, don't trust autocorrect, rather a medical transcriptionist who understands context. Ironically, we are forced out of work by tech that is often grossly inaccurate. Sigh...Still adore you❤

  • @andrewnorris5415
    @andrewnorris5415 10 месяцев назад +1

    Interesting. I would save it until start losing muscle when older. With training of course. If use it while young then the body may just get used to it meaning it will have little effect when we really need it.

      Creatine Monohydrate is the more well-studied one, most of the evidence base on creatine is using monohydrate. It's also cheaper.

    well, if we just starting eating healthy we do not need creative supplement. and i am guessing that pollution also ruins food and our health to absorb creative or create more need for creatine.
    either way creative need is a modern thing we created. so we need to undo the harm or we just get in a circle of supplementation, same stuff we do with vaccines and medicine in general.

      @georgehornsby2075 10 месяцев назад +3

      Common recommendation is 0.03g/kg for maintenance. Some choose to take higher doses for the first week or so to saturate the muscles. So 3g is enough for a 100kg person. If you weigh less or more than that you can adjust accordingly. Taking a bit extra just means you pee out more.

      Aloha, you have to engage in resistance exercise at least twice a week to see the benefits of creatine. I am 71 years old. I’ve been vegetarian since the age of 19. I do not refer to myself as a vegan although I do not use dairy and eggs I have a jump rope exercise program that I have taken throughout the state of Hawaii under the auspices of the American heart Association jump rope for heart for more than 20 years.
