What Happens If You Take Creatine Every Day for 30 Days (After Age 50)

\n\n What would happen if you took creatine every single day for 30 days if your age is over 50? Most people think creatine is a bodybuilding powder. It does a lot more. In fact, it's a vital compound that your body actually makes. The problem is as we get older, it makes a lot less. But I think we need to start at the basics. What does creatine actually do in the body? Cuz it's actually really, really interesting. Let's start with number one. In your cells, you have energy factories. They're called mitochondria. And mitochondria make energy in the form of ATP. ATP has three phosphates. So this energy in this ATP, which is like a charged battery, when you break off the phosphate, that's when you actually can use the energy. And then this changes into ADP. And in this phase of energy, we only have two of the phosphates. One of the purposes of creatine is to give you quick energy by giving this dead battery an extra phosphate. And as far as quick energy, I'm talking about the explosive, quick, fast, peak power that you use when you run up a hill or you're sprinting

somewhere. So it's a different system of energy that you can use, but it only lasts like 5 to 10 seconds. And then your body will start tapping into glucose because in order to use glucose, it usually takes between 15 and 30 seconds for that system to kind of kick in where you can start using that. And then eventually, within minutes after that, maybe even 20 to 30 minutes, then you're into the fat burning. So we have different fuels for different endurances. Number two reason why we need creatine is anything involving high energy demand tissue. Like for example, your brain requires creatine. Your skeletal muscles require creatine. The liver, the kidneys. Also, creatine helps you pull in a bit more water to hydrate the muscles. So that could show up as you gaining an extra one or two pounds of weight, but it's not fat. It's just more hydration. Also, creatine is involved with blood sugar regulation, so it can actually help your blood sugar. There's also, number five, methyl support. Creatine can help you with building neurotransmitters, DNA repair, and also detoxification. And as I stated before, creatine is needed for your bones and your

connective tissue, so I'm just repeating that down here because you might not think that a person who has osteoporosis could benefit from creatine. Yes, they can, especially postmenopausal females. Now, let's talk about what would happen week one if you started taking creatine. Your brain would start working better, especially the cognitive function of the brain. That would be focus, concentration, memory. Also, let's say you have a lot of stress in your life, your tolerance for stress will go up. You'll handle things better. With week two, you're probably going to notice more strength in your muscles because now the muscles are becoming more saturated with creatine. So, you'll have better stamina climbing stairs. When you pick things up, you'll just feel like, "Wow, I can do this a lot better." cuz you'll have more energy to do it. Also, your recovery is going to be better. So, if you normally get really sore and it takes you a long time to recover, that will be a little bit shorter. The other thing that's cool about creatine is it helps you store more sugar in your liver and your muscles. It's called glycogen. You actually store sugar better

and more efficiently, so you'll just have more energy with this other system called glycolysis. I'm not going to get any deeper in the woods than that. Also, let's say you're doing a certain amount of reps. You're going to notice that you're able to do a couple more reps. Okay, that's in week two. I have a new product called creatine monohydrate. Creatine helps you recharge your battery. It helps give us more strength. It helps us recover, and it helps us generally make more energy. But, what I did to this product was add a few more things to make it even better. I added betaine, 500 mg. Betaine is something that actually helps the body make more creatine. If you're deficient, for example, in zinc, copper, magnesium, this might not work as well. So, I added zinc, copper, and magnesium to this product. Try this out, and then let me know how it worked for you. >> Okay, what would happen in week three? Well, better blood sugar control. And also, when you fast, you're going to feel better. It's not going to take as long to get into a fasting state where you actually feel good.

So, that'd be an improvement. Also, because you're getting better hydration in your muscles, you're going to look a little bit better. So, the muscles will be more hydrated and firmer. But again, you might gain 1 or 2 lb. Don't worry, that's not fat. That is just more hydration in the muscle. Also, your exertion. When you lift weights, or move, or anything related to effort, you're going to feel like it's easier. In week four, you have now a complete saturation of all the tissues. Now, because creatine is involved with bone, you may not feel that bone. You'd have to probably get a DEXA scan over time, and maybe see changes with other things that you're doing. But, you probably will feel things more in the joint bone. So, you might feel less stiff, more strength in your connective tissue. But, the biggest thing in week four is you're going to feel like you want to work out, because your body can handle this extra effort. A few questions that come up, does creatine negatively affect the kidneys? And the answer is no. It's not damaging to the kidneys at all. Does creatine lead to hair loss?

There is one small study that shows that it potentially could, but I personally have never seen anyone complain about losing hair by taking creatine. And you can mix it in your coffee. Creatine does not get damaged with heat, so that's cool. Another question that people have is what food gives you the most creatine? It's going to be animal proteins. Number one is herring. Also, pork is very high in creatine. Red meat is high in creatine. A lot of women going into menopause have something called anabolic resistance. So, they're not able to build their muscles effectively with the normal things that they do, with exercise and protein. This is why they need more resistance training, more weight training, with even more animal protein that can then give them creatine, but also another amino acid called leucine. So, that comes from animal protein. So, you can kill two birds with one stone if you just consume more animal protein. If you're female and you're past 50, I think you'll see a lot of benefits. Creatine also specifically helps increase the stem cells of muscle, which actually is going to help repair muscle. I have a free download

that I want to give to you. This free download is my daily routine in a checklist. This is the routine that I use every day to feel like I'm 18 years old, even though I'm 60 years old, and I want to give it to you for free. And so, there's a little link down below. Click it and definitely download that. So, now that you know about creatine, if you are female over 50, you need to know more about this anabolic resistance because there's a couple more things that are super important to know about, and I have all that information in detail in this video right here.
