Life Extension Creatine Capsules provide 500mg of premium Creatine Monohydrate combined with vitamin C, designed to enhance cellular energy, improve muscle health, and support optimal heart muscle function.
Creatine is a naturally occurring compound found in muscle tissue synthesised from amino acids, but it can also be obtained through dietary sources. However, dietary intake alone may not provide sufficient amounts to support optimal muscle health and performance.
As we age, muscle mass naturally declines, which can reduce strength and mobility. To combat these effects and maintain an active lifestyle, creatine supplementation becomes necessary. Available in capsules, tablets, and powder, creatine supplementation can support healthy muscle mass, strength, and performance. 1, 2
The potential benefits of creatine supplements are now known to extend well beyond muscle health. A growing body of evidence suggests creatine supplementation can support neurological and cognitive health. 3 Creatine may also promote a healthy mood and have neuroprotective properties. 1,4 Creatine has also been reported to support healthy lipid, glucose, bone, and homocysteine metabolism in older adults. 1
Life Extension Creatine Capsules promote muscle strength, improve exercise performance, and help protect against age-related muscle loss.
