Over 55 Health and Diet

I’m trying supplements for the first time in my life, so we will see how it goes. As I head to my 60’s I’ve noticed a lack of energy overall, but extreme tiredness when I work out, drive a long distance, or I’m out in the sun.  Not sure what the cause is, maybe just getting older, but addressing my energy is one of the first steps I’m taking. My research on creatine looks like it can help with my energy so I chose to try Thorne Creatine, it’s one of the leaders in the Creatine industry.  You can see some of the benefits that the company Thorne promotes with its product below.

Creatine is an amino acid found mostly in your muscles and in the brain. It’s naturally produced in the body from other amino acids. Creatine is also found in foods like meats, eggs, and fish. It plays a vital role in the body’s production of cellular energy by helping to make ATP, a molecule needed for intense exercise, as well as supplying the energy to pump your heart and power your brain.*

• Muscle Performance: Promotes physical endurance, power output, and increased work capacity of muscle*
• Lean Body Mass: Enhances strength and promotes lean body mass*
• Cognition: Supports cognitive function and healthy body composition, especially in the aging population*

• Injury Prevention: Promotes a reduction in the frequency of dehydration, muscle cramps, and injuries to the muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons, and nerves*
