Creatine supplementation has regularly been shown to increase strength and muscle structure when paired with resistance training more than resistance training alone. It also improves muscle recovery, lean muscle mass and a healthy body composition.
Not just for fitness buffs, creatine plays an important role for everyone because it helps the body make adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a molecule that carries energy within cells. ATP is needed for exercise as well as for powering the brain. Creatine supplementation provides support for cognition and mood, and works to reduce mental fatigue during stressful mental tasks in healthy adults.
Interest in creatine is growing specifically for its benefits for women at all life stages. Beyond supporting muscle strength and exercise performance, early research indicates creatine supplementation may help improve skeletal muscle maintenance and function, mood and cognition and, when combined with resistance training, bone health. This is of particular interest to post-menopausal women as creatine may help in the maintenance of muscle, bone and overall strength to support healthy aging.
Looking for a Companion to Your GLP-1 Weight Management Journey?
Maintaining lean muscle is central to a healthy body composition, not only because it allows you to continue the exercise that is key to successful weight loss, but also because muscle tissue burns more calories while at rest than fat. Unfortunately, the decreased food intake associated with GLP-1 use may result in lean muscle loss. Creatine, especially when combined with resistance training, enhances muscle mass gain, strength and performance.
