If you think taking creatine is just for athletes, think again. In 15 years of research, many other potential uses have been identified. Soon you might see Grandma and Grandpa taking daily doses of creatine.

Question: What is creatine?

Answer: It's a natural compound made in the body. Athletes in strength and power sports often take supplements in hopes of boosting performance.

Q: What does creatine do?

A: In muscle and nerve cells, creatine serves as a rapidly available but short-lasting source of energy. It is especially important for maintaining high-intensity muscle contractions and supporting brain energy needs under stressful conditions.

Q: How does it affect the brain?
Q: If the body makes creatine, how can supplements provide benefits?
Q: Who might benefit most from creatine supplements?

Default What a surprise

to see your post Carolyn. I bought a jar of it at the drugstore, from a display by the pharmacy. I read the instructions and other label info and thought it might work for me. I walk for 30 minutes on the treadmill most days.

The first 20 are easy the last 10 are a bit of a challange.
If I take the creatine I can do the thirty minutes easily,plus another 7 minutes.

I also suspect I'm going to cut back my sinemet because I've been more dyskinetic lately. Will let you know what I really think in a month or so.

So many options to try,,,better too many than too few!
