My grandson told me about creatine monohydrate—and I’ve been studying it ever since. Turns out, it’s not just for young athletes. It’s a natural compound that helps your muscles create energy, especially when you’re working hard or lifting something heavy.
As we age, we lose #muscle—unless we fight to keep it. That’s where creatine can help. It’s safe, affordable, and well-researched. I believe in learning from the young, just like I teach them what I know. Here's what I learned:
-
🥄 How to take it: Just 1 teaspoon (3–5 grams) a day, mixed into #water, juice, or even coffee. No need to load up—just be steady.
-
💪 Why take it: Helps maintain #strength, #energy, and #muscle mass—especially when combined with simple daily exercises.
-
🧠 Bonus: May even support brain health and faster recovery.
-
🚫 No magic pills: It’s not a shortcut. But it’s a helper. Just like a good walking stick.
I started using it because I want to keep moving—and keep teaching. If you’re over 50 and still pushing forward, creatine might be worth a look.
As always, check with your doctor, especially if you have kidney issues or take medication.
