As we get older, keeping our strength becomes a real concern: carrying the shopping, climbing the stairs, staying independent and active. Creatine is one of the few supplements with a recognised effect in this context, on one condition: training.
What is recognised after 55
In Europe, a specific claim is authorised for adults over 55: daily creatine consumption can enhance the effect of resistance training on muscle strength. This effect is obtained with 3 g of creatine a day, combined with resistance training at least three times a week.
In other words, creatine does not replace exercise: it goes with it.
What is resistance training?
It is any exercise where your muscles work against a load:
- weight training with dumbbells or machines;
- resistance bands;
- bodyweight exercises: squats, lunges, adapted push-ups;
- machine Pilates (reformer).
Three sessions of 30 to 45 minutes a week are enough. If you are just starting out, get guidance from a coach or a physiotherapist.
What dose?
3 g a day, every day, including rest days. No loading phase needed. With our Super Creatine Gummies, 2 gummies provide 3 g of creatine.
What about women?
The claim applies to all adults over 55, women and men alike. It is a topic many women follow closely after 50, as they want to stay strong and active.
Precautions
- After 50, many people take medication: ask your doctor or pharmacist before you start.
- Not recommended for people with kidney problems.
- Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
In France, you can also talk about it directly with our partner pharmacies.
Food supplement. Not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
