Muscle mass decreases with age, which impairs the quality of life. Creatine monohydrate supplements help preserve muscle mass and strength, particularly when accompanied by a resisitance exercise program.

A research review by Vincent Dalbo and colleagues from Texas A&M University concluded that creatine monohydrate supplements increased muscle fuel levels, improved muscle cell health, and enhanced general mobility. Creatine monohydrate supplements are safe, natural and effective and slow the rate of muscle deterioration that comes with age.

Recent studies show that stronger people live longer. Creatine supplements can help older adults maintain muscle mass, which could increase longevity. (Dynamic Medicine, 8: 6, 2009; Online Joutrnal)
