    I am 70 , I started taking Creatine, approx 3- 5 grams a day, 5 years ago, depending on my resistance training intensity. My waist line has been reduced by 2 inches, but over the last 5 years I have gained 12 lbs, my Doctor says this is due to my muscles becoming more dense,therefore I weigh more. I do resistance excercises with barbells,dumbells,kettlebells,pulley machines,and heavy clubs.I do various workouts for upper body strength, and lower body and core .I try to incorporate the kettlebells and heavy clubs that work on balance and dynamic stretching.I can't say I pop out of bed like I was 20, but it only takes me 10-15 minutes to loosen up and get at it in the morning.I believe strength training ,stretching is much better than just walking

      Thanks for your reply. I didn’t do what you did at 70 and now at 75 I’m do some. A great thing is I walk a lot, don’t have a car but use a electric Unicycle for longer trips a can car 6 bags of groceries on it. Anyway I got my second bone test in 4 years, the Dr. look concerned about my results and said this doesn’t happen at your age but your density is better now then the first time. I told him I don’t eat sugar and take K2 mk7 as one of my supplements. I’m going to consider this videos recommendation. Wow I’m done.

    Almost four years ago I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. I read a study that indicated creatine as being useful in brain function and might have some use in mitigating the symptoms so I started supplementing with it to see if it made any difference. At the same time I began resistance training using some old dumbbells I had laying around which had been gathering dust for about 20 years.
    The results have been fantastic. I gained significant muscle (my arms have gone from having 14-inch biceps to 16-inch ones) and I went from 91Kg with high body-fat to 78Kg with far less bodyfat. Unfortunately the left side of my body is more affected by Parkinson's than the right side so I'm somewhat asymetric in terms of my musculature despite training both sides equally.
    I'm not a gym-junkie, in fact I haven't been to a gym in over 40 years but the combination of creatine and regular exercise in my home has boosted my strength and vitality immensely. My cognitive performance also seems to have improved with better memory and only a very limited progression of my Parkinson's symptoms.
    As a result of the disease I do fall from time to time and I'm pretty sure that my boosted upper-body muscle mass and strength has prevented me from injury in such cases -- my shoulders have a pretty good layer of muscle on them these days which also helps cushion the impacts.
    I also take a daily walk of 8-10Km per day and sometimes extend that up to 25Km without suffering much if any fatigue.
    I turn 70 in a few months and can do 40 push-ups without a break and do my bicep curls with 18Kg dumbbells so I think I'm doing alright. How much of that is due to creatine is something I can't quantify but it certainly has been part of the solution.

      Excellent! I suggest that you also learn Tai Chi [and possibly yoga]. Statistical studies have shown significant improvement in balance and reduction in falls, after 3 months of daily Tai Chi practice. I haven't seen studies on the effects of Tai Chi practice on Parkinson's, but it does help balance.

Fortunately I practiced judo as a teenager and one of the first things we learned was how to fall/land safely. I think this automatic reaction plus the amount of muscle I've got protecting my skeleton has saved me from some nasty injuries on a growing number of occasions now.

I have no wrinkles, look mid 40s max. I have a ridiculous amount of LMM, I"m 183 cm and 89 kg at 13%BF. Still have the same waistline as I did at 20. Still live the same life as I have always done as an adult. I have never taken any other supplement. My last two testosterone levels were 936 and 859. I don't drink or smoke and I eat tons of eggs.

    Just FYI. At age 75, I started dosing at 5mg/day about 3 months ago. First noticed significant energy improvement and more robust workouts. (I did 3 sets of pullups (10 reps). My weight is 200lbs; I'm a fitness freak. I also notice increased DOMS (Delayed onset muscle soreness) and it made my knees hurt more which had the negative effect of having to stop squatting.) The next symptom was muscle cramps. My Wellness Dr ordered some blood labs and my Creatinine level went from 115 to 153. I stopped the Creatine and after 2 months, my Creatinine level went back down to 115. Consulted with a Nephrologist and he concluded that the jump in Creatinine was almost certainly due to the Creatine supplementation. I've started back up again at only 2 mg/day. So far, no problems. Be careful about dosing.

      I have heard that some lab tests of Creatinine falsly react on Creatine supplementing.
      Creatinine is a break-down product. It can show increased values after hard strength training.
      Without being an expert, I don't think Creatine supplement should increase the Creatinine level.

When young people take it it doesn't help much but if you're 50 60 or older it can help a lot. It also helps heal from work outs faster as well. If you want to get more out of it add 3 to 6gms of L-Citrulline Malate 2:1. But take it very easy when you try it until you get use to it. Because it can make you push a little too hare at first.

    I just recently started taking creatine but took it about 30 years ago and was amazed with what it did. I remember doing pullups all the time and I could do twenty which was pretty good but after taking creatine for a short time my reps shot up to 60 reps. That may sound like total bs but I am not kidding. The tendons on the inside of my elbows starting hurting so I gave the pullups a rest. I took that creatine with a grapefruit chacer at the time. I was afraid of taking creatine for more than a few weeks because creatine use at that time was not as studied as it has been in the years since. Anyway, I am 67 years old now and decided to give creatine another try. I never have given up working out but hope that creatine and taurine will give me the boost I need.

    Yes creatines good for older people, but make sure you supplement with an electrolyte as when you start taking creatine you will produce more creatinine which is the waste product of creatine and you will excrete potassium and sodium so you need to supplement with electrolytes to balance out taking the creatin.

      In general, you may need to increase your water intake by about 0.5 to 1 liter. Please be aware that creatine monohydrate supplementation does not produce muscle cramps. Importantly, ensure that you stay well-hydrated throughout the day, not only when taking creatine. It's advisable to consult with a healthcare provider or a sports nutritionist to determine the most suitable approach based on your specific requirements, goals, and exercise routine. They can offer personalized guidance on dosages and hydration strategies.

    This all makes sense. I am 69 yo male taking 5 grams/day. I do weightlifting and also cardio about 5 x / week. Weights are 2 or 3 (depending on my mood and the weather). So I find that creatine monohydrate really works. But it does make it **SEEM** difficult to lose weight because your muscles get pumped from the lifting exercises and subsequent growth. So its difficult to get the scale to go down sometimes. but over a long time period of months you'll see your fat levels dropping. and then eventually the scale will drop.
    For a long time my weight was going down very slowly but I knew my muscles were increasing so that's a good thing. Then my pants were too big.
    My doctor thinks I'm still obese but my weight went down in the past year from 240 to 210. but if I flex you can clearly see muscle. But his scale says i'm obese.

      Creatine supplementation does not increase fat mass across a variety of populations. Also, it is worth noting that there is no convincing evidence that creatine monohydrate causes common anecdotal myths such as bloating, gastrointestinal distress, disproportionately increased water retention, increased stress on the kidneys, increased susceptibility to injury, etc. Currently, we can say that creatine supplementation increases fat-free mass and upper- and lower-body strength in several populations.

    Creatine is certainly beneficial for many when strength training. However, intake needs to be in moderation and I recommend cycling off creatine. For example, if you take it a month cycle off a month. As a guy who's taken creatine for 35 years, you may experience not only the positive of added strength, but also higher blood pressure and cramps. As with anything you ingest, there's puts and takes.

    I did creatine religiously for at least a year, didnt notice much difference when lifting. But since going to Carnviore some months ago, big changes. Creatine doesn't replace the proper human diet which is meat mostly beef, lamb, and bison with lots of eggs. I am 68 6 foot@ 153 lbs and my body is ripped. These healthcare providers no nothing. Carnivore reverses all those things as long as it is coupled with lifting. Simple. Why do people make health so hard.

    Experiments done on the space station show that large bones need to experience flexure to stay healthy. Also without bone flexure the marrow does not produce various chemicals and blood cells. So being sedentary is a death sentence. Heavy lifting to flex leg bones is mandatory for health after 50.

    As a 68-year-old male, the key point in this presentation for me is that creatine + weightlifting did NOT result in a gain of bone density, but rather LESS of a loss as compared to not taking creatine. But that's still a positive as there are other way to increase bone density. My main interest is just in the purported improvement in mental acuity (less memory loss/brain fatigue) when taking creatine (that was not covered here). Creatine in itself does not build muscle ... your workout intensity does that. So, if you just workout harder/smarter you can still get the gains without the creatine. Creatine just gives you less muscle fatigue and lets you "hit the weights" harder. I am going to start taking it, but with no loading phase and only maybe 2g per day.

    • @kevinc3751
      @kevinc3751 9 місяців тому

      Unless there is a medical reason not to do this, you should start with 5mg per day. Loading is 20 or more so 5 is very safe and gives you more than double the amount you plan to use. Plus, I’m not sure if there is a floor/minimal amount needed to show improvement so 5mg per day seems like a better bet to get more from adding it to your routine while still almost 0 risks unless you have known liver issues.

    Quick update. Now at 77 I continue to do well on 2 g/day. Creatinine hovers around 150, but no other side effects. Cramps are minimal. Still doing lots of pull ups and 2mos ago on my 3rd set of 10 reps, at rep 5, I felt a snap in my right shoulder along with some significant pain. My right bicep long head tendon tore loose from the glenoid in the shoulder. Visited my Ortho and he said no action required. Two weeks later, I started doing pull ups again and 2 months later I was back to doing 10 rep sets. The bicep does have a different look (look like Popeye), but as that part of the bicep atrophies, it will go back to a normal look. Other than that, all is well.

      Current evidence does not suggest a direct causal relationship between creatine supplementation and prostate cancer. On the contrary, a recent study concluded that "Creatine is an important nutrient that promotes macrophage function by increasing ATP levels, ultimately contributing to enhanced anti-tumor immunity orchestrated by CD8+ T cells." (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37662917/). The ongoing study by Fairman et al. will provide further insights in this regard: Examining the effects of creatine supplementation in augmenting adaptations to resistance training in patients with prostate cancer undergoing androgen deprivation therapy: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31542747/). In the mean time, we have to say that more research is needed to fully understand the link between creatine and prostate cancer.

      Here I am 11 months later and have been taking C daily for about 11 months now and here's what I've noticed...
      - Muscles are definitely fuller
      - No real cognitive changes that I notice
      - Seems like I'm lifting heavier with faster recovery after my reps
      Overall, I'll continue taking because of the benefits and because it's not expensive

    What about kidney damage from creatine supplementation? Thoughts? eGFR decreases as we age.

      @@JustinWilliams-ed2ug A couple of things: Females also need to do weight-training, and they also need testosterone (some doctors actually prescribe testosterone to older females). Also, creatine is a normal component of the diet - the average person consumes 1g per day in their food, some more, some less. It's nothing like steroids. Like salt, creatine has an affinity for water but that is not a problem unless you are already dehydrated (in which case, go get a glass of water and you'll be good!).

    Does Creatine cause prostate cancer?

      Current evidence does not suggest a direct causal relationship between creatine supplementation and prostate cancer. On the contrary, a recent study concluded that "Creatine is an important nutrient that promotes macrophage function by increasing ATP levels, ultimately contributing to enhanced anti-tumor immunity orchestrated by CD8+ T cells." (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37662917/). The ongoing study by Fairman et al. will provide further insights in this regard: Examining the effects of creatine supplementation in augmenting adaptations to resistance training in patients with prostate cancer undergoing androgen deprivation therapy: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31542747/). In the mean time, we have to say that more research is needed to fully understand the link between creatine and prostate cancer.

    She credits creatine as a must.
    Told her studies show it’s not that effective in 50+.
    She asked if I was taking it right.
    Well everyone is all about the 5gs a day.
    She said she does .1g per body weight.
    Makes sense…after all all ages, weights take the same amount is goofy.
    Tried it…wow, past 2 workouts not a sign of fatigue in my arms.
