Creatine is a nitrogenous organic acid produced in the liver that helps supply energy to cells all over the body

- particularly muscle cells. It’s made out of three amino acids: L-arginine, L-

glycine, and L-methionine. Creatine is one of the most studied ergogenic (work enhancing) substance known. There are hundreds of studies supporting its benefits for athletes but most

people don’t realize that it is very beneficial for everyone else as well.

Body Symphony: Where Science Meets Nature

Creatine

It has been shown to increase LBM or muscle, muscle performance, athletic performance &

fatigue resistance in both young and old.

It helps mitigate or minimize post-exercise inflammatory markers in endurance events

(for example: creatine kinase, lactate dehoydrogenase prostaglandin E2, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha.)




Creatine

Increased creatine is associated with important anti-aging effects, including:1.Protection against cognitive decline.

2. Protection against CHF.3. Reducing insulin levels while improving

glucose regulation.4. Shielding against muscle loss

(sarcopenia).




Creatine

5. Enhancement of mitochondrial function (the cell’s primary energy producer accounting for 95% of all cellular energy production).

6. Lowers accumulation of lipofuscin (a well known biomarker of aging).

7. Increased lifespan of mice 9% (equivalent to 7 years in human).

8. And Enhanced neurobehavioral performance (memory and intellectual capabilities).




Creatine

Additionally, via its ability to enhance cellular energy production it helps maintain adequate levels of ATP (the body’s primary energy currency), this is crucial

to all kinds of vital functions of both the cells, organs & tissues, and the body as a whole.




Creatine

In the brain, it has a neuroprotective effect as a result of increased energy and reduced lipofuscin

accumulation.

Creatine is believed to be helpful in preventing and combating the following brain & neurological diseases:

Alzheimer’s Dz, Excitotoxicity, Parkinson’s Dz, Huntington’s Dz, ALS, and Strokes.




Creatine

Also brain-related: Increased Creatine is associated with reduced mental

fatigue & it Increases the brain’s oxygen utilization while increasing memory & cognitive function.

Cardiovascular benefits: Increases Heart ATP levels, Reduces markers of Heart muscle exhaustion, Increases performance & Reduces muscle waste products in CHF

patients.




Creatine

Metabolic benefits include: 1. Increased glucose utilization,

2. Reduced BS in healthy patients, 3. Increased glucose transporter complex GLUT-4 (that shuttles

BS from blood into cells & on into the mitochondria), 4. Reduces BS and insulin levels, l/t significant improvements of oral glucose tolerance tests, with exercise in DM – shown to reduce BS, Glucose Tolerance Test, & hemoglobin A1c levels.




Creatine

Creatine only occurs in meat and fish. Now that you realize it has so many

benefits beyond bodybuilding, is there any wonder that we included it in our Paleo Proteins Perfected Formulas?
